The No Thai! guys found a formula that works, and they’re sticking with it. They seem to have effortlessly cloned another restaurant at Woodland Plaza (near Busch’s–it replaced Damas). As at the other No Thai!s, when you step up to the counter you order from a discrete, numbered menu and answer four questions: “What kind of meat?” “How spicy?” “For here or to go?” and “How do you want to pay?” And everybody gets on with their lives.

This is the fourth Ann Arbor location; there’s also one in East Lansing.

No Thai!, 2276 S. Main (Woodland Plaza), 369-2604. Summer hours: Mon.-Sat. 11 a.m.-10 p.m., Sun. noon-10 p.m. nothai.com
