Thai House, Nyack
As for the food, it runs the gamut, from delicious and authentic to tries-hard-but-misses-the-mark. The tom kha gai - chicken-coconut soup - is satisfying and good. Along with the mushrooms, it comes with baby corn, chopped tomatoes, and chunks of onion. Unfortunately, though, it also comes with too much salt. The larb - similar to chicken salad, but, instead of mayo, it's dressed with a vinegary-chili sauce and accessorized with herbs - doesn't have the spice it does at Sripraphai. This version is served only with cilantro, and I missed the mint.
Basil-chicken (kra gra prow) came with chunks of chicken instead of ground meat. In Asian cuisines, meat is secondary to grains, but the ugly American in me likes more protein, so I liked this one - authentic or not. The sauce is balanced, but in a Yin-Yang kind of way: Some bites hit you with chili, others with sugar. The green curry was the standout, though. It had a nice balance of the five essential flavors and the vegetables - even the eggplant - are cooked perfectly.
Dinner for two: $50, excluding tax, tip and alcohol
