Restaurant-Lanna

Lanna is a very nice Thai restaurant in a small strip mall at the entrance to PB, on Mission Bay Dr, next to Sushi Ota (one of the best sushi places in town).

While the exterior is plain the interior is nicely decorated, warm and inviting. And the food is excellent, some of the best Thai I have had. We arrived for lunch, and started with the mango-shrimp rolls. Like spring rolls, but with shrimp and mango tucked into the crispy skin, and a mango dipping sauce, these were really good. I also had a mangotini, from their martini menu. All of them are unique and made with Han vodka, and Asian vodka. (I will have to check it out at Bev-Mo).

They also started us out with a cup of soup, this was tom kha with coconut milk, lemon, mushrooms and other veggies, really tasty and unique. I had a lunch special of pad thai, with chicken. It was very good, with tons of vegetables, chicken and some crispy tofu. I brought half of it home and had it for dinner. Sharlynn had the sizzling ginger sauce with pork, at a hotness level of three, which was not, but not too spicy (I could have gone with a four or five). Again, lots of veggies and pork, it was delicious.

Lanna is very good, and I will eat there again. Not pricey, they give you a lot of food for your money. Their service is very good, and the atmosphere is excellent.
