Quick and Cheap Food: It Takes a Thai Village

Marc P., Princeton University

On Nassau Street, east of the Garden Theater and due north from Cloister lies a cluster of three restaurants, one of which is named Thai Village. The restaurant itself is  unassuming, and the décor is  what we’ve come to expect from Asian restaurants on this side of the Pacific.

The décor is actually rather endearing, as the old-timey pictures on the walls, dark wood furniture, and dim lighting really do show the effort taken in creating a unique and entertaining atmosphere. Some may find it overwhelming and tacky, but it didn’t bother me at all. Continue reading
