Sripraphai Thai Restaurant doesn't look like much on the outside, but the inside was totally renovated a couple years ago and the backyard garden is a delight. It's a big destination for "chowhounds" that lives up to the hype and the warnings about the chile heat.
Woodside is also home to a slew of Irish pubs, and a string of Filipino restaurants and shops that form a Little Manila. Donovan's has won the praise of food critics year after year for its humble, but delicious burger.
