| - Today, Komol made my favorites list. I went with a few coworkers, and we ordered a nice range of dishes. We had the Tom Kha Kai, Panang with beef, Pad See Ew, and mint chicken. All around, this was an excellent meal, with surprisingly high quality and fresh ingredients! The freshness of the ingredients is one of my favorite things about this place.
The Tom Kha Kai was excellent. It was perfectly thick and flavorful. It didn't have the lime taste that most Tom Kha Kai's have, but only a hint of it. This was ok though because the quality of the soup was fabulous!
The Pad See Ew was probably my least favorite of the dishes. I have had better versions of this at a couple of other Thai restaurants. Still, the freshness of the Chinese broccoli was amazing! Just like my first visit, they give you big chunks of broccoli, fresh and crisp like it was bought the same day. The noodles could have been a little bit better; there wasn't an impressive flavor to them, but enough to make it an appetizing dish.
I really loved the Panang Curry with beef, combined with the mint chicken over very nice, fluffy white rice. This was recommended by the young man who served us, and he was spot on! The curry was thick, which is a style I tend not to like because a lot of places make it too sweet. This curry was awesome though, not sweet and full of interesting flavors. The beef was excellently prepared, perhaps even a stewed beef. With a little bit of this curry over rice and some of the mint chicken, I was thoroughly impressed.
What really makes Komol such a great restaurant isn't their unique recipes, but their unique ability to use high quality ingredients. I am giving them 4 stars now for this, and moving Komol to my Best Thai in Vegas List! I would take this place over the other Thai restaurant that sits in the same shopping center any day! Things that could improve: the Thai Iced Tea, better filtered water, and the green curry is a little bland.
