Looking for a tasty treat after walking about Newbury Street? Why not try Typhoon? This “Asian Bistro” has a delicious beef salad. I’ve never had the chance to try any of their entrees (which are not that expensive if you consider that you are in the middle of downtown Boston) as I’ve always been filled by the beef salad.

Tender slices of beef are served on a bed of lettuce topped with peanuts and a rich dressing which is both spicy and sour at the same time. I’m not sure what’s in the dressing besides some chilies and lime but it is an exquisite taste that will stay with you long after the meal is over.

My most recent visit was a bit disappointing. Was it my imagination or did the salad used to be larger? Did they also cut down on the beef? Let’s admit it, this is an expensive salad, coming in at $11 but I’ll still pay it for the flavor of that sauce and the nice people-watching location on Boylston.
