Cheap Eats 2005

Take off your shoes and loosen your belt as you enter this Beaverton Thai gem for some indulgent dishes that won't break the bank. The delectable emerald garlic with shrimp ($7.50) has sautéed shrimp and perfectly cooked broccoli bathed in a sauce of marinated garlic and spices, while the cuisine's benchmark pad Thai ($6.50 lunch, $8.50 dinner) delivers both flavor and crunch courtesy of extra bean sprouts, carrots and peanut. Add a Thai iced tea ($1.50) and say Phuket to work and take the rest of the day off. (TD)
