  • Noticed this restaurant next to O'Riley auto parts in a business strip center. The posted menu listed hot and sour soup which I am on a quest to find a good source of. First, I have no reference for judging Thai food. I do enjoy Japanese and Chinese food having visited Hong Kong and Taiwan multiple times. I lived in Japan for a couple of years south of Tokyo. I ordered a serving of hot and sour soup to take home to the wife. It was interesting, but not like the Americanized version I'm looking for. It was tasty, very full of mushrooms, onion, carrot, tomato and chicken. No tofu that is common in the American version. It had a thin stock that was nicely spicy. I did not notice much sour component. Interestingly, there were lemongrass sticks and pieces of what looked like pork bone in the soup as well. Don't know if this was authentic to Thai cooking or an oversight. Also tried the Thai chicken fried rice. It was also very flavorful with generous amounts of chicken, vegetables and egg. It was not stir fried at a high temperature to create the smoky flavor I look for in fried rice. Very good though. I ordered an appetizer of fried tofu. It was, well, fried tofu. Six generous pieces needing four bites each to consume. Served with a nice sweet brown sauce garnished with fine chopped peanuts. I would say the tofu was a good vehicle to enjoy the sauce. The adventuresome item I tried was some spicy ginger pork. It had the little red pepper beside the menu title. Properly warned, I asked the waitress how hot their food is. We came to common understanding with the word medium. Sorry, I don't speak Thai. I enjoy the taste of hot peppers, but not chemical burns. The dish was wonderful. Spicy hot enough to clear out any congestion and hydrate the eyes, but not painful. I expect the full strength version would have been beyond my tolerance. It's nice they adjust for wimpy Americans. Very gingery with lots of vegetables. The broth was awesome. A good ginger dish warms the tummy and soul. Served with a large bowl of steamed rice, it is the main reason I'll return again. Portions are large enough (intended) for two. Like most real Asian restaurants, you should bring friends and family. They serve platters or bowels of food to spoon onto the empty plate provided. Glad I stopped by to try their food. I'll be back.
