Where? Tangerine Thai, 5914 Phinney Ave., (Phinney Ridge)

What Does $13 Get You? Roasted chicken in coconut milk and rice.

Recommended? Absolutely.

Official Tasting Notes: I love Thai food. I do get bored seeing the same thing from menu to menu without much change. Tangerine Thai just moved into an old pottery studio space on Phinney Ridge(in between Santa Fe Cafe and Phinney Market. What I like about this place is they offer some different selections than other Thai restaurants as well as the old stand-bys.

I asked my server what he recommended and for him it was a toss-up between the yellow curry or the charbroiled chicken, actually a bone-in Cornish game hen. The chicken was marinated in coconut milk and yellow curry sauce, then roasted to perfection. The meat came cut into sections but fell off the bone. The chicken was moist and curry and coconut milk added a subtle sweetness. A small dish of sweet-and-sour sauce came on the side to dip each bite in. I was quick to surrender my fork and knife for sticky fingers and an extra paper napkin.
