| - This place has 2 different Yelp pages which may be because it was a coffee shop and is now a Thai restaurant AND coffee shop? Either way, it's a great place that shouldnt be missed so I'm posting my review for both pages.
I've been to Cravings twice and have really enjoyed my meals. The first time I stopped in for lunch. The lunch menu is much smaller than the dinner menu. I was craving curry and didn't see it on the menu. I asked if they had it at lunch and they said they would be happy to make it for me, and my dining companion as well. We tried red and green curry. Both were some of the best curries we've had. This place was instantly a new favorite.
I came back for dinner last weekend and brought the whole family. We all tried the green curry again, jungle curry, and tom yum soup. I always order Tom Yum at Thai places and this has been one of, if not the, best Tom Yum I've ever had. The soups and curries come in a large cup-like bowl. It doesn't look huge, but as soon as you start eating you realize it is like a never-ending bowl. Especially if you've ordered it Thai hot, like I always do. My face was literally dripping with sweat as I ate the entire bowl of "8 on a scale of 1-10" spice. I loved it. I would suggest something around 5-6 if you just want a regularly spiced meal. My dad ordered a 6 and his was pretty spicy too.
The dinner menu is actually quite extensive. There are several pages of entrees with photos (very helpful!) to choose from. We tried the calamari appetizer to share. It was ok. I wasn't really a fan of the fried breading as it was thicker than usual but I would not let it discourage me from ordering a different appetizer next time.
Oh, and another perk is that the ladies who work here are SUPER nice. Very attentive and always checking to make sure you are enjoying your meal.
The only negative I see is that the menu is a little on the pricey side, even at lunch. Not extreme for Thai food, but around $15-$20 for a curry dish (depending on choice of meat or veggies), $10 for Tom Yum soup, almost $20 for some of the other entrees. For the location of the place (ie not downtown or anything) I went in assuming it wouldn't be expensive at all, but obviously I went back and will go back, so I think the quality of the experience makes it worth it. It's a very nice atmosphere that is warm and welcoming.
