SaRanRom Thai
8.5
A Broadway Thai room with Bib Gourmand credibility and a menu that rewards anyone who orders herb-forward, texture-heavy dishes instead of defaulting to safe standards. It’s compact and cozy, but the kitchen’s flavors read as deliberate and consistent—especially across the dishes it’s known for.
Must-Try Dishes:
Crispy catfish mango salad, Herb-driven stir-fries, Thai curries

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking along Broadway and side streets; can be challenging after 6pm. No valet.

Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes without a reservation
Weekday lunch: Little to no wait most days
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes – multiple vegetable-forward curries, salads, and stir-fries can be made vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited but workable – several dishes can be adapted with tofu and no fish sauce if requested.
Gluten-free options: Some naturally gluten-free Thai dishes available; confirm sauces with staff when ordering.
Best For
Better for: Herb-forward, Michelin-recognized Thai dishes with balance and texture—especially salads and composed mains that feel deliberate.
Skip if: You’re craving oversized portions, ultra-spicy street food, or a loud, casual family-style Thai experience.
