Erawan Cafe

First met Art and Linda as a surgical intern in 1979, the same year Erawan opened. When off call, would dine in or take out each week. Life sustaining. I returned today, nearly 45 years after my last Thai meal. My five children and their partners joined me and my wife. Art is now alone, Linda has passed, and help scarce and inconsistent. Nevertheless, Art remembered me. He was gracious and cooked up a storm of different appetizers and main dishes for a party of eight with ease. My taste memory intact for the same chicken and fried rice. A picture taken, tears held close, and the hope that I or my children will return sooner than later to see our dear friend.

Restaurant run by only one man, the owner, who has been in this same location for 44 years. Absolutely a pleasure to sit and chat with after enjoying truly great Thai food. The green curry was delicious along with everything else ordered. He made it a point to accommodate the groups dietary restrictions with no dairy or meat in some dishes. It’s exactly what you want in a food spot, no frills, great service, great food.
