Ahh Pin Kaow. Now I have been going to Pin Kaow for years and the customer service has always been a hit and miss. The food though always satisfactory. We visited Friday night with the wonton soup hotpot in mind....because I had been sick I thought that the soup would be good for my sore throat.
We did call ahead. Alway recommended because this place gets busy. It always seems to have people waiting outside on the weekends. When we got there we were seated almost immediately even though alot of people were waiting-thats why I recommend the call ahead.
We ordered the wonton soup hot pot. If you havent had the hot pot before it is a pot with a hole in the middle where they light a running flame. I would say its for two people but probably could feed four. The first time I had this I was so impressed. It just sets an ambiance...an experience. You definitely must try it.
For our entrees we ordered the Chicken Pad Thai. Probably the best I have ever had that I order it everytime I come here. I order the spicy at an 8 or 9 and never seems too spicy to eat. Especially if my BF can eat it. He ordered the mongolian beef. It is always great too. It is different from other mongolian beefs I have had....the sauce is more like a gravy consistency. But it is good. All paired off with a glass of chardonney and the night was bliss.
This is a great place for a date, for a group, for a celebration. It is a Thai experience. So if you are trying to impress someone it would be a good spot to take them. Like I said the service is hit and miss. I do recommend the take out. They have a little section in the back where they do the to-go orders and I have never had a problem. In and out. Food is just as good as eating in. This place isnt very close to home but I will drive for the occasional Thai fix! ;)
