I had high(er) hopes for Nitaya Thai, mostly because it's so close to my house. Alas, it's just okay. The prices are kind of high for a just-okay-thai-place in Champaign. But the atmosphere was alright and the waiter was nice.
The Crab Rangoon was tasty (it'd be hard to make it gross), but it was too thin and greasy for my liking. The boy's Red Curry was not bad at all, and was a very appropriate level of spiciness. I thought I'd try the Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles), as I'd never tried it before. In theory, I would've really liked it.....but Radio Maria's Korean Hot Pot Food Poisoning Delight has ruined me forever. I couldn't tolerate the spicy-sweetness of the dish in combination with the slimy noodles. It turned my stomach. I poured some of the boy's curry sauce over my dish which helped make it more palatable....but I couldn't eat the noodles. Yuck. Not Nitaya's fault, but it doesn't help its case.
