| - Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know what you are thinking. "ANOTHER 5-star review from this guy?" OK, I guess I do hand those out, but I honestly believe that I've gotten fairly good at avoiding the places that won't be good; thanks to Yelp and all of you guys, so there's a little bit of selection bias going on here... That being said, on to my review of Pusadee's Garden...
This place is INCREDIBLE!! I recently stumbled upon a few really nice reviews for the place, and figured that today would be an opportune moment to take my family out for a nice Sunday lunch here.
The entire experience did not disappoint! The photos on this page definitely do this place justice, although I must say it is even more quaint in person. The indoor space is quite nice as well, for those frigid or sizzling months when you would not really want to be on the patio...
We had the garden rolls, steamed pork dumplings, woon sen (bean thread noodles, egg, and vegetables), and spicy seafood. For drinks, we tried the tamarind juice, mango juice, and Thai iced tea. Not one item was "meh" or uninspired - honestly, I felt as if we had been invited to a Thai family's home for a delicious home-cooked meal made from scratch with every dish. Here's the breakdown:
Garden rolls - delicious "salad in roll format" with tasty veggies, thin rice vermicelli, and tofu. Served with a delicious spicy sweet and sour sauce
Steamed pork dumplings - tasty home-made dumplings served with a really nice mildly spicy soy sauce
Woon sen - very tasty clear bean noodles, served with egg and a ton of delicious fresh mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots. Mildly spicy - they ask you how hot you want it when you place the order, so it can be adjusted to your tastes.
Spicy seafood - very nice plate of jumbo Thai shrimp (6), green mussels (4), and squid, served in a very tasty spicy sauce with tempura eggplant and rice on the side.
Drinks were spectacular too - everything tasted home-made. Wow. It's BYOB and the glass fee is totally reasonable if you want to bring something to enjoy. Service was good - nothing rushed, but it wasn't slow for us - dishes came out in less than 10 minutes from when we ordered, even with the garden patio being full. I hear it's wise to make a reservation here if you want to have dinner, since it is rumored to get pretty crowded at night...
Just. Wow.
I think we have found a new go-to place for Sunday lunch and Friday dinners!! They were also very friendly to our little one, which earns them props... Will definitely be back to try a bunch of different dishes in the near future!
