Lers Ros Thai on Hayes Street (across from my old fave the Hayes St Grill) is a place open just a year recommended by an eating companion in Paris and was he spot-on. I took one look at the daily specials and knew this was no hole-in-the-wall place like a thousand others.
The garlic and pepper rabbit spoke to me but i figured I needed a first so I ordered what I thought was a throw-away, a Thai Herb sausage; fantastic, deconstructed with green chilis, onion, sliced ginger, peanuts and lime - one of the, if not the, best Thai dishes I've ever had. Then I had the rabbit which was toasty with skin like a crusty suckling pig's - my oh my.
With 2 glasses of the wine, no bottled water, tea, coffee or dessert, my bill was $56.16.
Go? For the best Thai meal I've ever had, in Thailand or elsewhere; it reminded me of the food I tumbled on in Toronto that was nouvelle Korean, this was not old stuff, this was new, exciting, innovative; wish had it around my neighborhood.
