Thai Peacock draws repeated recommendations for lunch and dinner downtown. Individual diners praise the crispy trout, pad thai and khao soi. Some describe it as a dependable favorite, while two commenters see it as a solid everyday option rather than a meal to impress a visitor. One feels the dishes taste too similar.
