The effect of the orange art deco lamps reflecting off Thai 101’s crisp, whitewashed brick walls, gives it a modern and airy feel. Thai 101 favorites include deep-fried duck or fish served with their special house sauce, mixed vegetables and pineapple. Also popular is the pad Thai, which can be made with beef or chicken versus solely with vegetables or shrimp. Check for the weekly soft-shell crab special with either panang curry, peanut or garlic sauce. For dessert, owner Raymond Beard recommends the FBI (Fried Banana Ice cream) or the pumpkin custard. Lunch specials served daily for $5.95. Open Monday through Saturday for lunch and dinner. Sundays are dinner only.
