Yelp.com Review - by Shelly M.

5.0 of 5 stars. Food is incredible! Check out the pictures of the owner with Clint Eastwood just past the aquarium. They provided all the food for the movie Gran Torino.

the food is too greasy!

I'd been to 96 a while back and the food was okay but a little too much oil. I heard it's because before cooking, they fried their vegetables in oil instead of steaming. I've been to other thai restaurants in...
