| - why why why have I not been here sooner?????? I love thai food but am tired of all the pomp and circumstance vegas food establishments have. vegas eateries and customers alike seem to think that the better, flashier, newer, more money spent on, and froo-froo a place looks = good food. no so. there are many hole in the wall mom and pop establishments that have amazing food but fail to get recognition because of appearance. sadly not many make it in this town.
the food here is ridiculously delicious, authentic thai food served at a great price. during both visits, we collectively ordered yum woon sen, pad thai, crab Rangoon, mango sticky rice, thai iced tea and thai iced coffee
yum woon sen - this one sealed the deal for me. it's hard to find a place that's not afraid of the fish sauce and lime dressing. this salad was pungent, flavorful and done right with both shrimp and ground pork. the level of spiciness is something I have to get right. mild had no distinguishable kick and thai spicy was fine for the husband. next time, we'll try medium for me and see if they have anything more spicy for the husband.
pad thai with chicken and tofu - their pad thai rocks! great balanced flavor, not overly sweet, chewey noodles and an abundance of your protein of choice which was chicken and tofu for me. I ate the whole frickin container. don't judge.
crab Rangoon - typical and standard. crispy wontons filled with flavorful cream cheese, crab and onion. addiciting and yummy, it's the perfect snack.
mango sticky rice - this was great too. the rice was cooked well without any hard, uncooked pieces of rice (which I've had the misfortune of having) it was both creamy and firm, sweetened nicely with the rice giving a great balance to the mango's sharp flavor. must get.
thai iced tea - super good. ordered one while waiting for the food and it was gone on 2.5 seconds. I've recently found myself taking a break from thai tea. a lot of people want to serve it, but not everyone knows how to do it right. so I abstain. until now. it's really good y'all
thai iced coffee - strong, creamy and S W E E T, this is great stuff. I like some now and some later so I split the drink between 2 20oz cups, top it off with milk and refrigerate the second one for the next day. still insanely potent, still sweet and delicious.
great job Penn's Thai House, you've got a new regular.
