** Generous portions with food on the spicier side, so keep that in mind when you pick spicy level from 1-10. Solid Thai option in Southside but nothing extraordinary.
I went here with a group of friends on a rainy day, so there weren't a lot of people here. I saw immediately that the pad kee mao and the pad Thai seemed to be the most popular options here, so I went with the pad Thai.
SPICE LEVELS:
Without reading any reviews on the spice level, I went with a spice level of 7, and they definitely packed the heat. Definitely had the waiter refill my water a few times, who probably noticed me sweating a bit and with teary eyes since he asked if it was a bit too spicy for me. I have a decent spice tolerance from eating other Asian foods, but not a super spice enthusiast. I'd have to say level seven was manageable but a bit too hot for me to the point where it wasn't the most enjoyable and took away from getting other flavors from the noodles... Going down to a 6 probably would have been perfect.
PAD THAI / PORTIONS: Generous portions considering the price, definitely felt satisfied at the end of the meal. However, I wish the noodles on the pad Thai had better texture and were more chewy. Noodles seemed a bit mushy.
SERVICE: overall friendly and refilled water plenty of times as he saw I needed it.
