Rigorously Authentic: Patara Thai Restaurant

Settled in wood and wicker booths overlooking a warren of hutongs, diners straddle the border between Beijing and Bangkok at this refined Thai restaurant. With decorations, key ingredients (like galanga and lemongrass) and a chef imported from Thailand, Patara is rigorously authentic.

Expertly prepared incarnations of the classics supplement more unique offerings like the do-it-yourself Thai tacos appetizer (RMB 58), and the poached pear in coconut syrup dessert (RMB 58). House specials like the lemongrass-marinated rack of New Zealand lamb with papaya salad (RMB 198), and the shelled crab claw in mild yellow curry (RMB 168) highlight an impressive menu offering skilled Thai interpretations of sumptuous ingredients.

Here on the sixth floor of downtown mall purgatory is a Thai restaurant brought to you by Thai people – a welcome discovery.
