Silky mosquito-netting sheers blow a tropical breeze through this romantic and sophisticated brick room along the Columbia City strip. So does the menu, a giddy romp through Thailand and surrounding ports of call, with all the Thai warhorses (great spicy shrimp tom yum goong soup) plus whole tilapia and elegant drunken noodles, all for criminally low prices. Best, Spice Room has a worldly grasp of what urbanites want most in an exotic restaurant—brown rice for health, stiff cocktails for fun, a few fusion dishes (great Thai steak) for a dash of urban panache, and well-informed servers you can trust.
