Thai Tom
This might be the cheapest Thai restaurant in town, but rock-bottom prices aren't the only reason this place is always packed—the food is delicious, authentic, and spicy (two stars is usually pretty hot). Plus, you get dinner and a show as the flames lick up the woks in the open kitchen. Students and foodies pack in for garlic chicken, spicy curries, Thai coconut soup with shrimp, and flavorful pad Thai. Tables can be hard to come by during the dinner rush, but there's usually space at the counter in front of the kitchen kitchen.
