Bangkok Cafe

Molly Abraham: Long before Ferndale's Nine Mile Road was a restaurant row, this Thai spot was a stronghold of curries and stir-fries, and it remains that after nearly 13 years. The open kitchen is the centerpiece, with patrons seated on a canopied wood deck on one wall, or at tables on either side of the flaming woks. Unpretentious, friendly, and very inexpensive.
