Since 1986, Pathama Parikanont has been turning out some of
the best Thai food in the Bay Area. She learned to cook from
her mother, and those memories have become the basis of her
cooking. Housed in a Victorian, the place still feels like a
turn-of-the-century parlor with Thai art the owner has collected
through the years. Both the food and the service have a friendly
neighborhood atmosphere.
