The Oregonian pits two of 2013's top Thai openings — Tarad and Sen Yai — in a head-to-head battle over three dishes. Tarad wins the battle for best Pad Thai, Sen Yai for Kaphrao Khai Dao, and personal preferences for "depth of flavor" over textural crunch gives Tarad the edge in noodle stir-fry Kuaytiaw Khua Ka, as well. Ultimately, both spots do their specialities well — "most of Sen Yai's dishes are not available at Tarad, and vice versa" — but "Tarad takes home the gold." [OregonLive]
