| - Dropped by during lunch after looking up potential spots to get some lunch. Thai Grill was the first one that caught my attention in the list of restaurants, so I decided to make a slight detour and venture out to this part of Las Vegas.
I arrived around 1:30pm, well within their lunch special promo period, and there was just a pair of dinners finishing up their lunch specials and an appetizer. The restaurant which looks small on the outside but rather large once you enter and round the corner to get a better look of their interior. I wouldn't be surprise if some wizards or witches placed the Undetectable Extension Charm on this place.
After scanning their lunch special menu and consulting the reviews on Yelp, I opted to get their Duck Curry from the regular menu. The food was prepared quickly and brought out by the waitress/cashier, along with a bowl of rice.
The Duck Curry was good. I liked the curry flavor and thought it was good, but I didn't care too much for the canned pineapple chunks that was used in its preparation. There were plenty of duck pieces in this dish, and those tasted great (like it was cooked separately then added to the curry near the end of the preparation). The only major disappointment was the soggy rice that was served.
As far as Thai food goes, it is not in the top half ranking of the local Thai restaurants that I have tried. But I will give it a try in the future if I am in the area or if there is another UYE, where I can get to try more of their menu items.
Ambiance 3/5: A lot of Thai decorations in this relatively large restaurant, but the TV on the wall with the analysis of the up coming NFL season and their predictions (which i didn't mind) did not contribute to the Thai ambiance.
Food 3/5: It was A-OK. Which means it was decent, but I was not blown away by it and already planning a return visit for dinner or another meal within the next few days.
Service: 4/5 The waitress checkd up on me and refilled my water without having to be asked.
Price/Value: 3/5: Reasonably priced, and very much in line with other Thai restaurants in Las Vegas.
Location: Located in the NW part of town, not too far if you work or live near the North Las Vegas Airport.
3 stars. Hopefully I can like it more after future visits, but for now, just A-OK.
