The lowdown
For years — make that decades — Sripraphai has been the defiantly delicious rebuttal to complaints that you can’t get good Thai food in New York. A relatively glitzy expansion a while back gave some pause — would a dressed-up Srip become a watered-down victim of its own success? Not at all: Crispy fried catfish, fiery beef panang, and minced pork with chiles, peanuts, and lemon juice are as good as ever. The pad might be fancier, but not the pad Thai.
