    The lamb shank arrives like a main character, trailing spiced coconut and turning heads at neighboring tables. This Thai restaurant in Upper Lawrenceville earns its reputation as a special-occasion room, with a patio that is, somewhat literally, a garden. The massaman curry it arrives in tends to sell out early, so booking a table on the earlier side is less a suggestion than a mild warning. A 2024 James Beard semifinalist.

      “When we’re talking about why we love Pusadee’s Garden, a Thai restaurant in Upper Lawrenceville, it comes down to two words: lamb shank.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
