"I 've seen numerous mentions of the authenticity of Sam-Lor (the Thai word for bicycle), as close to a hole in the wall restaurant as one gets in generally-posh Geneva. Using my measure of authenticity (read: the best places I have been in Thai enclaves in the U.S. where I am also a distinct ethnic minority among the patrons), this place rates an A+ . It was also clear from the demeanor of the restaurant staff that they wanted you to feel as happy and peaceful as possible, notwithstanding their continually frenetic shuffling from table to table balancing dishes and drinks. There 's no question that the gentleness and warmth of my server added greatly to my enjoyment of the experience. I played it safe by ordering two of my regular favorites: Panang Chicken and Yum Woon Sen (glass noodle salad with prawn). In each case, Sam-Lor look the taste experience to a whole new level. The familiar ingredients burst with deep and redolent flavor, but I am convinced that it was the cooks ' tossing in more than a few subtle, undefinable sprinkles of magic that made it all come together so perfectly. Looking around the restaurant, I can safely say that most everyone was living their own version of my story. It is worth noting the rugged, marginally unsavory vibe in the surrounding Paquis neighborhood. Though it 's bustling with tourists and crawling with foodies looking for a fix in one of the area 's well-regarded ethnic hot-spots, I wouldn 't feel comfortable with the idea of my girlfriend venturing there unaccompanied after dark."
