Dwight’s comments:

It is a well known fact that, for a long time, I ate at Thai Kitchen every Thursday night that it was physically possible for me to do so. In the past few years, though, the food at Thai Kitchen seems to have gone downhill, at least to me. I switched to this Madam Mam’s for a while, but lately I’ve gotten out of the Thai Thursday habit. I still go here, but sometimes weeks or a month pass between visits.

That said, Mam’s has what I believe to be the best Thai food in town (with the disclaimer that I have not made it to Sap’s yet). I’m partial to the thai spaghetti with squid, the NS14 noodle soup (if you have a cold, that will clear you right out), the pad thai, and the panang beef curry. The service is good (though not quite as overwhelming as Thai Kitchen used to be), and there’s plenty of parking (unlike the campus location). I do think they’re a little more expensive than I remember Thai Kitchen being, and there are some things I could do without (the tea menu, for example). But this would be my Thai choice, were I asked for one.
