| - This is a classic, hole in the wall, average Thai restaurant. The decor isn't anything too fancy, and the radio blares bad club music. The walls are decorated with Thai tapestries. The service isn't especially friendly. Yep, my kind of Thai restaurant! Today I ordered the Thai iced tea (which was quite nice, and served in a large glass), the pad see ew with pork, and the spicy fried rice with chicken.
The pad see ew pork was average, but good. It might have been a little bit on the greasy side, but not too much. The only real complaint I had here was that they don't serve Chinese broccoli. It could have had a bit more flavor to it. With some chili powder though, that problem was mostly solved.
The spicy fried rice was different. It had more of a peppery flavor to the spice, and it was a flavor that I haven't had before in Thai food. The rice was slightly greasy, but at least the peppery taste provided an interesting flavor. Other than the unique flavor, there wasn't anything to rave about. If the overall quality of the food was a little higher, I might have changed my mind on this one.
Overall, I would say Thai Place is a descent enough Thai restaurant, but not somewhere I would go out of my way to get to. The service was a little bit annoying, and the food was average.
