Chan Thai

Since 2004, this North Oak Cliff Thai food establishment has provided guests a relaxed dining experience with a nightclub ambience. It"s sleek and hip befitting this Bishop Arts District gay-friendly spot. Happy hour (4-7 p.m.) attracts freeloaders. It"s then when guests are offered free appetizers along with bottom-barrel drink specials. The menu reads like an All-Star roster of the Southeast Asian country"s culinary offerings. There is panang curry and pad Thai. There are summer rolls filled with shrimp and crab and pineapple fried rice. There are also the chef"s specials chicken or beef citrus, fried meat swimming in an orange sauce speckled with orange zest. Of course, the kitchen has some more exotic specialties, all of which use seafood to spice up your meal.
