| - After reading the reviews for Thai BBQ on Rainbow and Flamingo, and the one on Jones and Flamingo, this would did sound better. That atmosphere was very nice, perhaps a little more upscale than the "hole in the wall" Thai restaurant. The service was good, although the server had me box my left overs even though I was the only customer. That's ok though, the food is the important thing. I ordered Thai Iced Tea, Pineapple Fried Rice, and Red Curry with Beef.
The pineapple fried rice was very good. It wasn't greasy or bland, but had a nice subtle flavor with a hint of smokiness. It included pieces of shrimp, imitation crab, chicken, tomato, and fresh pineapple. It was a bit generic, and perhaps not totally authentic in flavor, but I enjoyed it quite a bit.
The red curry with beef was fairly impressive. It was well prepared with green and red peppers, and with a medium heat, it had a nice spicy flavor, not bland at all. The curry was soupy, and although I had to ask for white rice with it, I quite enjoyed it. My only reservation about this dish was that the beef was just a little tough.
The presentation of the food was very well executed. The atmosphere was upscale and relaxing. The service is pretty good too. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fine Thai dinner with a date or the family. I will definitely be returning to try more of the dishes here.
