| - We now have a great downtown Thai restaurant! We've been there twice and it was really great both times. Last night we had the seafood tam ka soup with a coconut base and a beautiful mix of vegetables and textures spices and heat.
Have to pause to comment on the heat. We love spicy food, and this place will make some seriously spicy food. They have mild, medium, spicy and Thai. We got the soup "spicy" and it was really hot. Not so hot that it blew away the other flavors, but definitely pushed us right to the edge (which I personally like in a first course). I'd recommend that most of our friends who don't enjoy the pleasure/pain of beautifully spicy Thai food should stick to "medium".
Main courses were spicy tofu eggplant which was really nicely done, with fresh tofu that was in strips not little cubes, which made it hold the sauce like a pasta, and nicely smooth eggplant. I had a barbecued chicken on skewers served with a really nice vegetable slaw with spicy lime juice Thai fish sauce. Ordered it medium and it was great, the chicken was like tandoori , a little smoky and tender. I'd definitely order it again
They don't have a liquor license at this point, and (I'm surprised to to be saying this) it did not matter at all.
The decor is really nice, one of my favorites, and a very nice place to take guests when you want them to think downtown is pretty cool.
Not cheap, but not expensive, all combined we have a great new downtown thai place, a new go to choice. Go, keep them in business, they deserve it!
