I've been wanting to come to Weera for a while and found a opportunity today to pop in for their lunch specials (available everyday 11am-4pm).
We decided to share chicken panang and tofu pad thai.
All entrees come with soup which I was pleased that it was tom yum broth with mushrooms. the salad is standard iceburg mix, but the sesame peanutty dressing on it was better than most offer. Eggroll was standard, but decent.
The panang was good. I like the lime shreds on top for some aromatics and the curry sauce is thick and rich. If you like a more coconut creamy panang base then you'll probably enjoy the way they style the curry here. I like all kinds, depending on my mood and today the creamy style was agreeing with me.
Tofu pad thai had decent flavor, but it was too saucy. It had a mouthfeel closer to carbonara than stir fried noodles and neither of us were fans of it. Don't know if this is just the style they do or if it was a mishap.
The portion sizes, specially considering these are lunch specials, were very generous and come at a great price since lunch specials are $7-8.
Thai ice tea was a good sweetness to tea ratio. Best of all, during lunch they're only $1 as well as thai ice coffee and soda. They also have a happy hour for drinks and appetizers though I missed what time that was at.
I can see potential in the food, but since one of our entrees was just alright, I think maybe a 4 is high. I will be back though as the dinner menu had some interesting Issan regional dishes and I can always be into curry!
