| - Stopped by after a great lecture at ASU. Two Thai places, side by side, one is more of a sit down, dine in place and the other (where I went), more of a take away although we did eat there. Rather small menu with the usual fare of Thai food. Ordered the Pad Thai and Red Curry. Sat outside in the evening sunset which was pleasant and discussed the lecture. Food came in short order. Portions were fair sized. I ordered spice/hot 4 or possible 5, but it was still rather tame. Pad Thai was OK to good, it lacked fresh basil which can make the dish. It had chicken and chucks of tofu which was a bit odd, but I have come to find that this dish is kind of a Thai chop suey, whatever a place has, they seem to add to the dish. About the only universal is the sauce and the rice noodles. A hard dish to compare to itself as the target constantly changes depending on where you order the dish. My problem is that I tend to compare all Thai food to that which I had in Thailand and few come close to that, so the scale has to be modified. Anyway, I would go back to this place in a pinch if I wanted Thai food and was in the neighborhood.
