Thai Thai was recommended to us by multiple friends and, after moving to the Dilworth area, we decided there was no better time to walk over and try it out. We frequent Basil and Thai Taste for casual Thai comfort food and thought that this would be a great, walkable addition to our repertoire.
The menu is large with options for customization on almost all dishes and the prices are considerably less than most other local Thai restaurants, which made sense to us since it is takeout-only. We decided to start with the Shrimp Rolls which were basically shrimp wrapped in egg roll wrappers and fried (as described on the menu). They were flavorful for a basic dish and the accompanying chili sauce was delicious. We followed the shrimp rolls with Pad Thai--a classic favorite of ours that both Basil and Thai Taste make very well. The portions lived up to the hype from our friends, big enough to make 2+ meals out of--which is a great deal for around $11. Despite the large portion sizes for a low price, the flavor and spice were lacking.
We ordered one chicken and one shrimp pad thai, both at a 3-level spice (on a scale of 1-5). The spice was lacking...it almost tasted as though no spice was added at all. The sauce was very runny and bland, there was little to no flavor in it and the chopped peanuts were thrown on top added zero to the dish whereas they typically add some additional flavor.
The staff at the restaurant was very friendly, but disorganized--they weren't sure of what went in our order when we arrived for pickup as a result of not asking for a name when we called it in. We plan to try Thai Thai again and choose some alternate dishes in the future to see if we can have any luck since this restaurant is so close but we certainly will not be running back, especially with other Thai options within a 5 mile radius.
