| - The sign outside the joint looks like it's about 25 years old, but the inside of the place is nicely appointed and the food is good. people are right when describing this place as 'middle of the road'. I don't know the term for it, but the food here tastes great, but looks pretty average. is there a term for that?
I've had about half the Pad Thai's on the menu here, and all are good. Favorites are the curry Pad Thai and the regular chicken Pad Thai. Both good. Not too sweet or saucy. Decent portions. Spring rolls are tasty and arrive in 4's, a nice touch. Not overly greasy. Also tried what their version of Pad Sew is, and it was also good. sauce is not as dark in color as most other places I've had Pad Sew so I wasn't sure if I'd ordered the right thing, but regardless of the reason why, it was good.
Service here is also good. The restaurant is located off the beaten path as far as Asian restaurants go, being on King St., so perhaps servicing a slightly more demanding clientele has made this place stay sharp. Servers are attentive, but don't bother you. Just the way it's supposed to be.
Being on King St., the prices are a bit higher but in line with what Thai typically goes for and fair for the quality of the food you're getting.
I still prefer Suko Thai, and have heard better things about Kao San Rd., but this is a good place to stop in for some good food if you're craving Thai and don't want to travel too far.
Worth the trip!
