This renowned one-dish specialist whips up some of the best pad Thai in town, and is of course, always busy so expect to wait for a table during prime dinner hours. Try the to-die-for pad Thai hor khai goong (shrimp pad Thai wrapped in a thin egg crepe), washed down with a freshly-squeezed orange juice sold out front. 

Prices may be higher than your average shop-house eatery, but keep in mind your pad Thai wll come with a generous serving of plump shrimps.
