Three Great Restaurants Tempt the Palate

One often does not think of Fort Wayne (or Indiana in general) as a hotbed for Asian cuisine. However, the Hoosier State's second-largest city has a growing multicultural and sophisticated population that successfully supports three excellent choices beyond standard-fare Chinese:

Baan Thai is a small and tastefully decorated establishment in an excellent location in Northeast Fort Wayne. It features a large menu of entrees and appetizers, however newbies to Thai cuisine might want to begin with their pud thai (a mild-to-spicy noodle dish with bean sprouts, green onions, and your choice of meat or tofu). Newbies should also be advised that Thai food skews spicier than its Mexican or Chinese counterparts. When selecting an item to be served hot or extra-hot, your server will often pointedly ask if this is what you really want. This is one of many ways the ever-pleasant Baan Thai staff caters to its often novice clientele. Their knowledge of the menu is what you would expect at such an intimate local establishment and they do an excellent job of ensuring your satisfaction without being intrusive. The food quality is excellent, the appetizer sampler and their pud kee mao are highly recommended. Prices are imminently reasonable for such quality (nearly all entrees are under $10). Their Thai Iced Tea is an excellent way to cool off during the muggy summers Fort Wayne so often experiences. 4634 Coldwater Road (inside The Shoppes at Coldwater) - (260) 471-2929 - Closed on Mondays
