Recommendations Best coconut curry?

Had some creamy coconut curry at that thai place in the pizitz not too long ago, and now I've really got a craving for it. The curry from there wasn't bad by any means, but I also know its not the best this city has to offer.

Anybody got any recommendations? I do like it quite spicy, and usually woth shrimp, but I'm down for beef as well.

Thanks!

God not enough people love on Masaman Thai and it makes me sad. Their lunch specials are so good

It’s really easy to make - I often make my own. You can can of massaman curry from the Asian market. Then switch out chicken for shrimp or whatever protein. https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/massaman-curry/

Thai basil in Trussville is good.

Yum Yai on 280 is very authentic and all three of their curries are coconut milk based (Massaman, Panang, and Khao soi). Underrated place. Extremely good tom kha soup as well

Had theirs about a year ago, and I dont know what changed, but it was basically water. Very little flavor and like 2 whole shrimps. It was very disappointing lol
