The Wild Thaiger

A good Thai meal can leave you woozy with delight. You get an idea of the power of this cuisine at the Wild Thaiger, which brings ethnic excitement at wallet-friendly prices to the Central Avenue corridor. There’s no wimping out with toned-down, Americanized Thai dishes here. The menu is basic, but not dull. Beef filet with green-papaya salad is a knockout. Seafood comes to life in a spicy, fragrant red curry. It's the most expensive dish here, but you won't feel shortchanged by the mix of shrimp, squid, scallops, mussels and salmon.
