Dishes to ‘thai’ for

Better Bites Thai & More (401 Kamakee St.) recently opened in Kakaako (in the former Phuket Thai spot). The extensive menu has an assortment of curries, soups, noodles and more.

Feast on dishes like tuna tartare ($18.95), papaya salad rolls ($18.95), Mieng fried salmon ($21.95), Magma beef ($36.95) — a colorful dish with sliced steaks, basil, bell peppers, jaw sauce and fried onions — and lobster omelet wrapped Pad Thai ($42.95). The latter is as glorious as it sounds, with a steaming bed of Pad Thai noodles with eggs, ground peanuts, bean sprouts and chives wrapped in an omelet and topped with a lobster tail.
