| - We were invited to dinner here with a few fellow Yeeps ;) and were pleasantly surprised! Luckily one of them let us know exactly where it was because other mentions about it being hard to find are spot on. Instead of driving around commercial center, just go straight to the middle building there and the restaurant entrance faces West. It looks kinda small from the outside but it's a good size restaurant and they seem to keep it very clean...that's always a plus!
Now on to what's not small...the menu! They have a pretty extensive menu that comes in the form of a book that weighs about 5 pounds! We got a few things to share between all of us, starting with the herbal salad, tod mun & fresh spring rolls. The herbal salad is a must try dish! I'm not even a huge fan of tofu but they fry it up and toss it with a few things like lemongrass, apples, onions & cashews. It is by far one of the freshest tasting dishes I've ever had and packed with awesome flavor and texture. The fresh spring rolls were also really good and come with a delicious peanut sauce. I wasn't a fan of the tod mun...the corn was so overpowering that I didn't taste fish at all.
We also got a few entrées...chicken chow mein, pad-thai and a curry dish. I can't say I'd order the chow mein again as it was just okay but the curry was really delicious, especially over rice. The pad-thai was definitely the stand out dish, for me. It is really, really good. The noodles are cooked perfectly and I love the texture you get with the ground peanuts. Also, if you like spicy, the little spice tray they bring out can really set the flavor off!! I noticed they offer shrimp pad-thai which I'd really like to try.
The service here was pretty good as well. Our waitress was helpful in explaining menu items to us and they kept our drinks full the whole time. I was also really surprised by the price. While most of our table drank water, there were a couple beers and the bill only came out to about $80 for 5 people. I'm no expert in Thai food but this is a solid spot serving up delicious food and I will definitely return!
