Just right next door is another good Thai restaurant called "Ocha".  Their
food is delicious, fast service, and average price is $4.50.  It's usually
very, VERY crowded--seems like most of the patrons live in the neighborhood.
So, they would bring their whole family there, but you don't have a long
wait for the food once you are seated.

I agree.  When I went there with 3 of my girlfriends, we were a bit nervous.
I mean we went there in June, and there were 3 burned buildings across the
street.  The neighborhood isn't that bad now, but go in a big group and try
to make a reservation if you want to go for dinner on Fri or Sat night.

"Ocha" is a big place--they got 2 huge dining areas, but it's always packed
when I'm there.  BTW, you can park in the back lot for a small fee.

I'd like to know the opinions of others who went there.  What do you all 
think?
