White Crane Retro Thai & Sushi

The green curry here has a depth that most Thai restaurants in the suburbs simply don't achieve: fragrant, coconut-rich, and layered with Thai basil and makrut lime that perfume the bowl before your spoon even touches it. We paired it with the crispy garlic salmon roll from the sushi side, and the combination of cuisines felt less like a gimmick and more like a genuinely smart pairing. What impressed us most was the heat level: when we asked for Thai-spicy, the kitchen delivered Thai-spicy, no hedging. This is the kind of place where regulars have a standing Thursday order and newcomers leave wondering why they waited so long.
