Gah Bua Kham
5.0
Gah Bua Kham, or "golden water lily," is named after the owner's grandmother,
and with good reason: many of her recipes appear on the menu. The
interior is cozy without being cramped. Green walls are outfitted with colorful
cloth hangings and images of Thailand, while the tables echo the theme with
delicately hued cloths covered with intricately patterned runners.
The yow kow, also known as fresh spring rolls, are stuffed to the max. Handmade grilled sausages served with chili sauce are very different, and well done. The larb gai salad is a filling and full-flavored dish, and the seafood stir fry is exceedingly fresh-tasting and perfectly cooked. Also try the pho, a hearty and healing Vietnamese beef noodle soup. The broth was intensely beefy and rich, utterly delicious with noodles, thin slices of beef and finely textured meat balls.
