I'm wondering what a good place to get thai curry (especially the yellow kind with potatoes and tofu) in davis is...any suggestions? I'm hungry.

thanks!

I haven't had their curry, but Benjapons is pretty good, IME.

spice and rice in porter is super yummy. they deliver!

do you mean sugar and spice? or is this another place?

[cemeterygates.livejournal.com]

whoops, sugar and spice is what i meant - excellent thai curry. spice and rice is another tasty place in inman square if you ever get out that way, though!

Sugar and Spice in Porter is terrific, and Tip Top Thai in Teele Square is decent. Don't know anything about Benjapon's except the consensus I've heard is "fast, and kind of greasy. but fast."

I heart Sugar and Spice in such ungodly ways. They have a variety of dishes, and their sticky rice with mango makes me swoon.

If you're looking for something even closer, I am also quite fond of Lemon Thai on Highland. It's about halfway between Elm and Central.

I have some emotional block that keeps me from going in there - although I think it's less an emotional block than it is the pics of the food on the windows. They just smack of unappetizing and greazy - not really what I'm looking for when I want Thai.

i actually dislike BOTH Benjapon and Sugar and Spice (but mostly because I don't think their meat is very good) - I'd recommend making the trek to Tamarind House in Porter. Totally worth the walk.

seconded to tamarind house- i had a very tasty crispy pad thai there too.

I enjoy their green curry!

I had a not-so-good masaman at Sugar and Spice (it was all oily peanuty) and totally recommend Lemon Thai (more food less money). Check out reviews on yelp.com.

East Asia makes some nice curries, and last I heard, they also made their own tofu. I definitely recommend them, though preferably for take-out because it's a bit of a hole in the wall (unless you're looking for that).

For a nice sit-down, I'll chime in on the Sugar&Spice/Spice&Rice bandwagon. Good stuff.

They have an eggplant dish that I love, and I also like the jungle curry.

Thirded; I love Tamarind House (though my favorite is still Brown Sugar Cafe in the Fenway). The dishes I've had at Sugar and Spice taste rather bland, but it's an okay "compromise" place.

I've had nothing but bad experiences with Benjapon's myself (in terms of taste, service, and food sickness), but I'm glad they didn't poison you.

[lissie930.livejournal.com]

Really? That's terrible! I've only ordered from them twice, but if you're getting sick from them, I'll definitely rethink that! Do you have other recommendations?

Awww, I like Benjapon's. Although usually I just get thai iced tea.

I definitely second East Asia! Their tofu is the best (they make it themselves) and they make 4 or 5 different kinds of curries with mixed veggies and tofu, and good noodles and other tofu dishes. The owners are really nice too.
