Pam Real Thai

Pam's Real Thai skips all the pretensions of some other Hell's Kitchen spots and instead focuses on serving up legit Thai food for a reasonable price. Locals rave about the oxtail soup and vegetarian options. Be sure to branch out with your choices, as you can't really go wrong with this menu -- the duck salad, for instance, surprises people. Since this is authentic Thai food, picky eaters might have trouble with the more potent options like the fermented fish kidney curry, but those with an adventurous palate will go nuts.
