Ayada Thai

Super authentic and unpretentious, Ayada is fiercely traditional Thai food, with good ingredients and bold, authentic flavors. The larb gai is refreshing, blow your head off spicy, but you can order your level of heat from 1-5, 5 being “order at your own risk”. I think we made it to 4. The soft shell crab with papaya salad is so good; Spicy and piquant with lots of mint, basil, and coriander. The duck penang curry basks in rich, spicy, fatty duck. From mid-town it takes 25mins on the F. Best food coma F journey ever.
