King & I Thai, not impressed

I went there the other week and *was not* impressed.  The satay was so-so, the barbecued pork was more like some soggy german idea of barbecue thai food.  The eggrolls were... well, let's just say they weren't good.

Help!  Is there *any* traditional Thai place in town?  How about traditional Chinese or Korean?  I'm sick of this Americanized crap.

I, on the other hand, love King and I Restaurant. Dine there frequently!

There's a Korean place a block or two east of 170 on the north side of Olive that's fairly authentic and quite good.  I forget the name, tho.
