Lanna Thai opened in late 2009, and since we were last in several years ago, owner Varanya Meyer has sold the business. But sheâs stayed on to run the place essentially, and takes our to-go order, joking about how she seems to be at the restaurant just as much as before.
The new owners updated her menu some and added a couple items. From the âhouse specialsâ menu section we get
massaman curry with duck (available too with fish), medium heat which smacks mild. The duck tastes sweet and gamey and though nice on its own I donât love its taste inside the floral coconut milk curry with big hunks of carrot and potato and bits of onion and whole peanuts.
