A few years back, there was a burst of new restaurants that offered more authentic Thai dishes. Or at least variety beyond pad thai and green curry. It's been mostly ramen joints lately. As I was walking through Little Italy on Tuesday, I noticed a new Thai place was having a soft open. Imm (full in Thai) was decorated in the contemporary style. The dishes were similarly prettily prepared. Obviously the owner is trying to position this place as, if not upscale, then not the typical "cheap ethnic food" joint. The dishes had strong, vibrant flavour. Both the crispy, papaya salad ($10.95) and the Tom Yum Pad Thai with shrimp ($16.95) tasted less Westernized than some of the ostensibly authentic places around the city. This is a great addition to the neighbourhood.
