I work in New Haven where there are some great Thai places. I also live in Southington so have sampled some of the popular spots in Hartford also. After hearing rave reviews from people about certain places in both the New Haven and Hartford area, my boyfriend and I went on a mission to find the best Thai food in CT. We ALWAYS went to Dusitra in North Haven for lunch since it was centrally located and fairly priced, and just assumed it wasn't that great since we never heard of any reviews on it.. But ironically, after trying many places in CT that were supposedly ""the best"", we always compared them to Dusitra, and non ever measured up to their flavors.
Pros: Flavorful food, plenty of parking, FAST service.
Cons: Ambience. They try though! It's not a hole in the wall, but it's not Morimoto's either.
