Thai entrees from chef's specials to the expected curries. Lots of special tofu dishes. Some examples of Southern Thai dishes. The spicy dish "ka pow," a protein with chili, fresh basil and red peppers is always satisfying. $4-$19.

Monsoon Siam is a modern Thai cafe on Atwood Avenue
A few years ago I interviewed the Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold in advance of his talk for the UW-Madison's Humanities Without Borders series. We got onto the topic of "authenticity." He'd eaten in Madison before and doubted there was much, if any, authentic Lao or Thai cuisine here. "Madison certainly has an enormous array of restaurants representing other cultures, but they tend to be cooking for the people who are not themselves," Gold said.
