Thai Restaurant Curries and basil dishes are the thing to order at Thaiphoon, with choices of fish, tofu, chicken and beef, and rice. In addition to standard offerings and Thai iced tea, there are also less typical beverages such as pomegranate lemonade or young coconut juice with ice. And if you like Thai desserts, it’s hard to beat the fried banana with coconut ice cream, or sweet sticky rice with fresh mango. 543 Emerson St., Palo Alto; 650-323-7700. thaiphoonrestaurant.com
