I am trying to broaden my Thai food horizons as my normal stop (Siri Thai) has become awful at answering the phone.
This place is somewhat near me and had decent reviews, so I tried it out for a weekend to-go lunch. I ordered the tofu pad Thai spicy 3 (their scale is 1-10) over the phone and the lady said, "It will be ready in 5 minutes."
Eep! I had to throw on some pants and leave because the drive is a little bit longer than that. Certainly not the worst problem in the world, though.
The location is easy-to-find and I parked right in the front. The restaurant itself is nice and spacious, clean and overall a nice atmosphere. I saw my order was right on the counter, so I paid with the friendly lady and left.
The tofu is certainly superior to Siri Thai but I think it's still lacking a little bit of that tofu texture that I personally enjoy. The pad Thai was lacking peanuts but the overall flavor was good and the heat was there but certainly not overwhelming - exactly what I wanted. There was a bit of a citrus flavor that I simply don't like with my pad Thai, but it was much more subtle than other places I've tried. Also, they were generous with egg and green onion which I love!
While I have not found my new pad Thai spot (damn you, Siri Thai), I think I have found a new place to put into my pickup regime. The pictures of pad see ew look delicious and I still need to try their Thai tea as I feel that's necessary at ANY Thai place. -:3
