I came across a few awesome reviews of Weera Thai as well as read John Curtas Eating Las Vegas's review in LV Weekly. Lots of stars and praise meant Weera Thai was a must try.
The service was impeccable! Our server was very kind and quite attentive. Good service is hard to come by in Asian restaurants.
The food however, I was a bit under enthused over. Perhaps we didn't order the "right" things on the menu? I normally can't pass up my favorite Pad Prik King, but I chose the Spicy Beef Holy Basil dish--good but not satisfying. A first-time Thai food newb, my friend ordered the Chicken Pad Thai which of course was delicious--a fool-proof dish. At our table, we also had Yellow Curry & a COLD beef salad which had a lot of flavor-similarities to Papaya Salad. The Yellow Curry was good but tasted almost like packaged Korean curry mix. And the cold beef salad had a dash too much of fish sauce.
Wasn't bad food, just not as good as I was expecting. I'll stick with my usual Thai place. But I may give Weera Thai another try in the future.
POSITIVES: Coconut Water (straight out of a real coconut)--you can scrape the meat out to eat when you're done!
