| - The sign doesn't do much to tell you it's a Thai restaurant (if you're not looking carefully. It does say 'Thai Cuisine' on it), but this sometimes forgotten spot offers up some of the only true Thai options in this part of the King West neighborhood.
The interior is well appointed, spacious and comfortable. There's a bar, a TV, and booths to sit in with a glance of the action on the street to be had.
I went with a date, and both is of us ordered the Pad Thai. As an appetizer, we got the feel fried spring rolls. The rolls arrived quickly and were tasty, but not out of this world or really special like ones I've had at Pai or Suko Thai. My date thought the same, although points are awarded for the serving size (4 rolls instead of the customary 2-3). Next up, the Pad Thai. It was surprisingly good, considering the underwhelming nature of the spring rolls. Both were very good save for one thing: underwhelming flavor. At first we commented that the tamarind wasn't too sweet as it often is and that was a good quality, but upon reflection (at least on my part) the flavor was understated and needed a bit more of the customary sweetness commonly found in this sauce. NOT ketchup, but sweetness.
Anyhow, besides this the food was great as was the service. Waitress was friendly, helped with menu selections and the food arrived quickly. As an added bonus, the Pad Thai was only $10.99! You won't find a better deal anywhere else (serving was a bit smaller but generous, still).
I'd definitely say it's worth a visit.
