It's a sign of the times that Mao's best-known slogan can be used so frivolously by this chic Thai eatery. In the heart of
the San Li Tun diplomatic quarter, you'll find Beijing's finest Thai food at very reasonable prices. The grilled beef
salad and green chicken curry are highly recommended, and the pad thai (rice noodles with seafood in peanut sauce)
is done to perfection. The small but interesting wine list has a limited by-the-glass selection. The temptation to use
inappropriate local ingredients (such as cabbage!) plagues other Thai restaurants in the capital, but here the people
are given their due.
