Agree with the Hao Hao recommendation. Also agree that Hunan should be avoided, my table hadn't had the spray adhesive treatment, but the food was lousy. Another place we really like is Thai Kitchen. It's in a strip center at the intersection of IH35 and William Cannon (Southwest corner). They serve Thai and Vietnamese food. The green papaya salad is a must. Also really love their shrimp soups, lots of fresh cilantro and lemon grass depending on your choice. Service is sometimes a little slow, but it's worth the wait. Depending on your taste they will go light on the pepper. And when they say it's spicy, they ain't kidding. I'm a one pepper person when I order there. And I'm a jalapeno fan - so make your judgement accordingly.
