A friend saw this restaurant on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and told me to try it out.
We went tonight as it is 3 blocks for our condo.
530 dinner and the restaurant was empty. Cute patio but too hot and they weren't seating outdoors. Plenty of parking in the back. Interior is a little dark but nicely done with a small made up bar if you need to come alone.
Guy Fieri recommends the Dragon Eggz : (dumplings) and we got one order split half fried and half steamed. The sauce is phenomenal. Loved the skillet plating and extra jalapeƱos.
I am a sucker for Papaya Salad if done properly: The flavor was on point and they didn't put ground peanuts on theirs which is a plus for me. Definitely forgot to ask for Thai hot as there was no heat at all. Maybe they underestimated me cause my hubby is white.
Beef panang curry: very tender beef like other reviews state. Flavor of the curry was very different than the norm. Much lighter in texture too and didn't have vegetables.
Pad Thai with chicken: hubby said it was decent but nothing to write home about.
I very much dislike coconut but how could I not try the famous coconut ice cream? We ordered the fried banana with coconut ice cream and they battered the banana in shaved coconut too. More for hubby! The ice cream flavor and texture was good.
Server was excellent and I loved her accent.
The entire restaurant was full by the time we left and people were waiting outside.
Will be back to try the hot pot.
Good, but not anywhere near the top for Thai food.
