Kao Tai has been my favorite Thai restaurant for many years. I can say without hesitation that I'd rather eat Thai there than anywhere else.
There are several reasons for this strong preference: one is no doubt its informal, easygoing ambience, another its location, Takadanobaba, from time immemorial my favorite watering hole.
Food is however its main ingredient: good prices, excellent taste, great variety, and a remarkable stability in time of all these qualities.
As a bonus, Kao Tai has a unique characteristic: portions are mostly half the usual, and so are prices. This means you and your lover (or friend) can order five or six different things and eat them all without either bursting open or emptying your wallet. Remember though that Kao Tai is neither elegant nor quiet. If you need either feature, go somewhere else. Booking strongly recommended.
