| - My husband picked up some take out from this place and I have to say that I'm soooo glad I have an awesome asian place across the street from where I live!!
We had the yellow curry with mixed seafood, vegetable fried rice, orange chicken & crab puffs.
PROS:
Everything tasted FANTASTIC! I just came from a trip from Las Vegas where I just had the most fantastic thai food and was craving for more like crazy! With this place opening up just minutes from my door I felt like my dreams were answered!
The yellow curry tasted just like the kind my mom used to make when I was growing up so I felt like I was instantly transported back to a happy place =) Savory with just a tiny hint of spice, great portions & I felt like I nearly wanted to drink the curry sauce with a straw LoL.
The vegetable fried rice was great. The vegetables were fresh and incorporated the flavor of the fried rice so well, I probably could have just eaten that and been already satisfied.
Orange chicken = done right! So many places heavily dredge chicken with so much breading I end up wondering if there's any chicken in it. Here, the breading is light and I can taste & see the fresh taste of orange rind in the sauce. THANK YOU!
The same with the crab puffs. Finally actual crab and not just a bunch of mushy cheese inside!
Now, I can't be all roses and rainbows, otherwise this place would have 5 stars. Every restaurant has a couple of flaws and hopefully the next time I return with these changes amended I can give a full 5 stars (I hate to do this since the food is sooooo good & they just opened).
CONS:
The yellow curry had a wonderful mix of big chunks of fish & shrimp so why ruin it by putting imitation crab in it? I would rather have no crab than have the fake stuff. I ended up picking it out and throwing it away, they were just taking up space. Though the scallops tasted great and absorbed the flavor of the curry well, they were so small they reminded me of cereal puffs. Yes, I ate them LoL. However I would rather have one big piece of scallop than a bunch of small mini ones.
I'm unsure if the chef had a one time mishap and was in a hurry when adding onions to the fried rice & yellow curry. One could definitely tell the most outside part of the onion was used (where it is dry and hard) so was difficult to consume. I also ended up picking those FEW pieces out.
The crab puffs were slightly overdone on the edges, but again, my family still consumed them. LoL
Like I said, overall 4 stars. This place is a great place and sooooo thankful to happen in this part of Gilbert. I'll definitely be getting food from here again and again and hoping those few cons I mentioned can be considered by their management. Once it does (and they incorporate delivery) I'll give them a concrete 5 stars!
Oh and btw, I had the most fantastic dungeness crab fried rice in this thai place in vegas. If that could be added to the menu, I would probably write yelp to add the option of rating a bizillion stars....LoL
