Tucked deep in a narrow alleyway on ChangLe Rd near Urumuqi Rd across from the Center, you'd miss this restaurant if it isn't for the big light box at the alleyway entrance. I can't help but also notice there's a condom dispenser next to the sign...hmm. The restaurant is in one of the old houses with a nice yard. The food is decent but not remarkable. At night it does make a quiet dinner date place. They also do take out delivery, so if you want some Thai in the area, it's a pretty good choice.

Coconut is definitely a date type of dinner place. Located on Fumin Rd near Yan'An Expressway, it has a big yard with a water pond (you walk over it as you enter), nice shady trees, and great lighting over intimate tables. The good looking house itself has 2-story and is decorated with dark wood and south east Asia artworks.
The food is standard fare Thai, and you can pretty find all the familar dishes on the menu. On average, the food tastes pretty good, but nothing stands out. I like the shrimp cakes and pineapple fried rice. The spicy dishes can be very spicy with the fresh chili pepper seeds mixed in. The price is mid-upper range but good value for the ambience.

That's right, this hard-to-find home restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of a non-descript apt building, INSIDE a scary-looking alley by the DUMPSTER. I've had one guest who turned around while walking in the alleyway, saying he just can't do this... Once you get past all this, you'll find a cozy little restaurant which takes up 2 apt units, with country flags lining the windows. The food and tastes are authentic enough, not too saucy and coconuty like most other Thai places do their dishes. The prices, however, are a bit on the high side, for such a low-cost location. Oh well, rising prices seem to be the story of Shanghai life these days. If you like this place and plans to come back, don't forget to ask for a VIP card which gets you a 10% discount. They also do deliveries for free if you're nearby.
