10Best Says

Restaurateurs Ele and Sean Tran have made their mark in Savannah, opening a trio of highly regarded Asian-fusion eateries around the city. All three restaurants owe their success to the pair's first venture, The King and I, located in Midtown Savannah. The King and I specializes in Thai cuisine, offering an array of traditional dishes including curry and stir-fry. Most dishes can be ordered with chicken, beef, shrimp or tofu and are accompanied by steamed jasmine rice. The King and I also has a nice selection of noodle dishes, seafood and specialty dishes like sizzling duck. The restaurant's elegant décor, which includes a deep red color scheme and traditional Thai wall hangings, makes it the perfect spot for a quiet lunch or dinner.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Amy Pine
Savannah Local Expert

Best of Savannah's Midtown: "Order the coconut or ginger ice cream for dessert. They're the perfect end to a spicy meal."

Recommended as Best of Savannah's Midtown Because: The King and I's cuisine always delivers. If you're a Thai novice, try the pad thai. If you're a hardcore fan, go for the Massaman curry.
