This is the kind of Thai food some consider unattainable in Arlington Heights. The atmosphere is squeaky clean and no-nonsense: Tables for two can be pushed together to accommodate groups--if there's room. A good way to judge a Thai spot is by its green curry: The all-Thai staff here fashions it spicy and smooth, filled to bursting with meat and thin-sliced bamboo shoots. Shrimp papaya salad could set you on fire, but not everything is spicy. Chicken-coconut soup strikes a good balance between sour and the raw, gingery taste of galangal.
