| - I walked by the place a few times when they first opened, but seriously, the other Asian places on the strip are so hit and miss, I did not want to be the guinea pig. Finally ate there last night, because of the Pirates game, and not wanting to have to fight traffic at Nicky's.
I am going to be hitting this place as often as I can until I get burned out. Wife had the drunken noodles. She asked for spice level 6, which was still really mild, Really really really delicious! She had it with beef, which is not a tenderized type of meat you get in most places, but a hard cooked really well seasoned kind of dried out chunks of meat, which is EXACTLY how you get it in the home of a Thai. REALLY authentic.
I got he Pad Kra Tiem (garlic) with beef. Spice level 6. Mine was nice and spicy, absolutely great!!! And, just ask for extra crushed peanuts, and you also ask for the side platter of seasonings.
Oh, and got the spring riolls as well. They are vegan, and amazingly good! Instead of a couple of big rolls wrapped in rice paper, you get a platter, of smaller rolls, that are sliced up and served around a bowl of peanut sauce.
The one thing I hate about most Thai places is, they do not use galangel, or tamarind, and you leave the place saying, "it LOOKED nice, but the taste was missing something..." Well, you will not get that "missing something" at this place. If you do not like the food here, it is because you just have a different flavor profile than I do. I spent years in the Air Force, long enough ago so that most of my supervisors had Thai wives, and this food nailed what I used to get when I would go to their homes for dinner.
