| - I came here with my boyfriend and his family; there was about 5 of us. We came in on a Wednesday around 6pm for dinner. Luckily there wasn't a wait, so we were seated right away. We actually had a problem with the first table we were seated at because the sun was shining through the blinds and burning our eyes, so we asked to move somewhere else. They moved us over to a better spot near the back that was half booth, half chairs.
Whenever I go out with my boyfriend and his family, we always get a lot of food, so I made sure to starve myself almost all day and by the time we got there I was ready to attack the food!
We ordered:
Spring rolls
Crab rangoon
Garlic beef - cabbage & broccoli with sauteed meat in garlic sauce
Cashew nut chicken - sauteed cashew nut, dried chili w/ Thai chili sauce
Chicken Panang curry - Thai special curry paste with coconut milk, green beans, basil leaves and lime leaves
Shrimp Red Curry - red Thai special curry paste with coconut mik, bamboo shoot and Thai basil leaves
Spare Ribs - Spare ribs marinated in Thai BBQ sauce
Chicken pad Thai - rice noodles sauteed with bean sprout, egg and crushed peanuts in Thai special recipe
Chow mein - stir fried soft yellow noodle with mixed vegetables
And of course, about 3 large orders of white rice
Our appetizers came out quick. They were both okay, nothing special though. I mean, how can you really make spring rolls and crab rangoons sensory explosive anyhow?
All of our food started coming out and that's when I said to myself, "Oh yeah, now that's what I'm talkin' about." All the plates looked so good.I didn't even know where to start, so I just started with everything.
The garlic beef was delish. I love almost everything with garlic, so that wasn't a surprise. The cashew chicken was good. The chicken Panang curry was almost orgasmic. Almost is a good thing though, since I was with my boyfriend's family! The shrimp red curry was interesting. I guess I'm not much of a seafood curry fan, but at least I gave it a try. Mmmm, that spare ribs were scrumptious! So tender and juicy! The chicken pad Thai was pretty bomb. It had lots of crushed peanuts, which I liked.
The whole time we were eating, which was about an hour, the waitress made sure to keep our water glasses filled and would ask how we liked our food. We never had to ask for anything, except lemons to clean our hands at the end because we're Filipino.
All in all, I really enjoyed this place. I'm glad they opened a location on S. Rainbow, because that's a 2 minute drive from my house.
