Amazing Thai Description

Beijing has enjoyed a wave of new Southeast Asian options in the past year, and Amazing Thai is just as welcome. The bright, airy restaurant serves a focused selection of Thai favorites at lunchtime prices. And, unlike its competitors, this place offers larb (from RMB42), a delicious fragrant ground-meat salad. The massaman curry (RMB68) lacks punch, and there’s far too much lemongrass in the tom yum soup. But this new Gongti joint largely achieves the delicate balance required of Thai cooking. So, all in all, Amazing Thai isn’t just amazing. It’s actually significantly better than that. In fact, Amazing Thai is thoroughly [insert more imaginative adjective].
