Master Critic Review
Forever Thai
8.0
A polished, all-purpose Thai option that works when you want a comfortable dining room and a menu that stays crowd-pleasing without feeling generic. Build your meal around one richer centerpiece and one noodle, then keep appetizers tight so the table doesn’t blur into sameness.

Crab fried rice, Pad Kee Mao (drunken noodles), Crispy duck
