Real Thai Cuisine, New York

With a name like Real Thai Cuisine, it's no surprise that authenticity is paramount at this restaurant. In the kitchen, chefs use traditional recipes and fresh ingredients to handcraft pad see-ew, drunken noodles, and other specialties typically found in restaurants across Thailand. But just because they play things by the book doesn't mean they don't experiment; their duck pineapple curry mixes sweet and savory flavors and delivers a little bit of a kick.
