Karinya Thai
Reader Review
Karinya remains true to its Thai origins. Try tom yum kung (hot and sour shrimp soup), a meal in itself served over a charcoal fire at your table, or pad talay, sautéed seafoods in spicy sauce. Inexpensive to moderate.

When you first walk into the restaurant you first question whether or not the food will be good due to its vacantness, lack of noise, background music, and conversation of fellow diners. However, just ask to be seated on the floor, and the host will take you past the normal seating to a huge dining room (you must remove your shows before entering this floor-seating area) where tables are low to the floor but nonetheless are still comfortable thanks to the open holes to put your legs and feet under the table, and plush Asian pillows scattered around each seating area. The room is decorated in an assortment of Eastern decor, giving off a Thai Buddhist shrine feel.
The food is delicious, and can be specially ordered for vegetarians AND vegans. Spiciness can be requested on a scale of 1 to 10, but beware: this is one of the few Thai places I've been (including restaurants actually in Thailand) where they will ACTUALLY make it spicy if you ask for it.
Prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food.
Dining suggestions: Try the Tom Gah soup and Phad Thai with a spiciness of "7" made with vegeatables and tofu.
