Khu Larb Thai (Port Townsend, WA)

Port Townsend is a nice place to spend a few days to relax, go shopping and eat. We should come here more often, but making time seems to slip by without notice. The Palace Hotel was running a special, so we took the opportunity to go.

For a small waterfront commercial district, Port Townsend has more than its share of good restaurants. We know that Thai restaurants are becoming ever more popular, but we were truly surprised to learn that there are three of them here. We had dinner at one, Khu Larb Thai, consisting of neau nam toke (beef salad), pad woon sen and garlic pork. The beef and pork dishes we’d order again; the vegetables in the pad woon sen were cut too large for the thin mung bean noodles in an otherwise tasty dish. The restaurant is worth a repeat visit whenever we’re in the town.
