Tasty Thai on King Street puts forth a solid effort of both innovative and traditional fare. They do sushi, but the real finds are in the traditional Thai dishes — stuff like the aromatic tom yum soup filled with seafood and a som tum salad. Big bowls of jasmine rice accompany house specials like three-flavor fish and the innovative Crying Tiger — a marinated rib-eye, grilled and topped with shrimp, asparagus, and a ginger lime sauce. So now you know. One can skip the lines at the other Thai places around town and head down to Tasty Thai for some southeast Asian grub. At night, the back rooms turn into a DJ-infused party scene. All the more reason to get there early and eat up. —Jeff Allen
