Beware of the frauds
out there, this is the real thing--or so they'd have you believe.
If nasty menus covered in slop and cigarette holes makes this "real"
Thai, then they've convinced me. If Pamela is a Thai name, then I'm
sold. If this place served anything else but the same Thai food that
everyone else in the neighborhood serves, then I'd be here every day.
As it turns out, Pam Real Thai is merely typical, Americanized Thai
food that happens to be cheap between 11:30 AM and 3:00 PM. So, if
you can overcome the high depression factor in the shabby chic (without
the chic) dining room, and the slow-ass, crappy service, then maybe
you can fill up on a pile of "real" pad Thai on your lunch
break and walk away with the great feeling of authenticity we all
carried with us throughout the rest of the week. [MF]
