Some of us worker bees do a lot of eating out for lunch. When I’m tired of the fast food burger and don’t want another subway sandwich, I always seem to think of Swing Thai. This is basically a fast food Thai spot, made to order on the fly. For a change of pace at lunch time in a hurry, you could do much worse. It’s not known for it’s atmosphere, but what speedy lunch spots are? For a tasty pud thai, (with over 1 million served), tease your taste buds with Swing Thai.

Swing Thai’s small size, low lighting and unique art give the restaurant a low-key romantic touch. While many of the items can be made with tofu instead of meat, fish sauce is often an ingredient; look for items with the Gluten-Free and Vegan symbol.

I strongly recommend the red curry. Even medium spiciness is pretty spicy, so don’t order hot unless you’re ready for it. Rumor has it that the Pud Thai is excellent, but it has fish sauce.

While you’re there, get an order of Cappuccino Mochi Ice Cream, it’s hard to find in the area and a superb end to the meal.
