| - Back in Vegas and with mom fresh off the boat from her Japan/Korea trip, the last thing she wanted was more Korean food. So we pick her next favorite cuisine, Thai. Having missed out on Pam Real Thai the last time out, I take this opportunity to make this our destination. Walking in, it's peculiar that we are the only party there. Turns out, we were the only party here throughout our dinner...
The interior has a clean and neat, if not exactly trendy, decor that give it a splash of style. The server is pleasant, and as expected with us being the only guests, appropriately attentive. Overall we were very pleased with the ambiance. To the food that I was really looking forward to, especially given the experience the other day.
We ordered a large Tom Kha soup, spicy pineapple fried rice, shrimp pad thai, and crispy pork with chinese broccoli.
Tom Kha soup - tasty but too salty and not spicy enough. Was more a fan of the reddish tint to the soup, here it is white.
Fried Rice - good, fiery taste but again not spicy enough. Also salty.
Pad Thai - Again salty but pretty good. Has an usually tangy taste which was just okay for me, others liked it.
Crispy Pork - Not bad, no gamey taste which is good, but taste-wise nothing spectacular.
So a bit disappointed because the food overall is a decidedly 3-star affair, but the service and the more modern ambiance gets a 1/2 star upgrade. So really a 3.5 star experience, but the fact that it can't fully be appreciated due to the emptiness it will have to settle for a 3.
Table-for-1 Factor: I'm guessing they'll take any number, but even IF the crowd was more brisk I think it would be okay to eat on your own.
