I was a little worried when my once favorite Walnut Creek restaurant (""Royal Thai Palace"") changed hands and names in the last year, becoming ""Erawan."" But let me tell you, this place is still RIGHT ON with both service and food! The staff are lovely, gracious people, often dressed in beautiful traditional Thai dress, and always with a warm smile. I'm completely addicted to their Panang Chicken Curry, which is so good that sometimes I wonder if it's more a dessert than an entree! Also on my must have list: ""Fresh Rolls (with shrimp)."" These are like (huge!) spring rolls with bean thread, carrots, fresh basil and shrimp, served with a sweet peanut sauce. YUM!!
Pros: Food, service, relaxed atmosphere
Cons: It's not big enough for bigger groups to gather.
