| - Just a little personal opinion before I go on to my review. I think it's funny how some people.. who are not from Thailand, probably never been to Thailand, challenges the authenticity of Thai food cooked by Thai people. And said people probably forget that a dish may be cooked in so many different ways depending on region and personal preference. End rant.
One consensus about this place I can agree on is that it's COLD if you go on a chilly day. The place is on the small side, and not properly insulated either. We went on a Sunday during lunch, there was one other family there but other than that not busy at all. It is popular for takeouts as there was a steady influx of people coming in to pick-up and the phones did not stop ringing. There was only one person tending the front and serving, but she was still able to be efficient and friendly. We ordered from the lunch specials menu with the exception of Tom Yum with shrimp.
Padthai with combo (comes with pop/tea, mango salad, and spring roll) - decent size, very saucy, my mom and I found that it was rather too sweet.. but easily fixed with hot sauce on that occasion. Not the best pad thai but still beats food court Thai.
Red curry chicken - comes with jasmine rice, not my dish but I did have a taste and it was good.
Tom yum was my personal favourite, it has that nice sour/spicy balance I like. Overall, a solid place in the area if you are craving for Thai. Not the best, but better than most. There are some street parking right in front of the strip.
I would return to try other stuff on the menu.
