| - One the best Thai meals I have had hands down!! This is my first time to Nicky's and while parking is a pain, the food makes up for it. My 5 star rating is explained below on the basis of service, proportion of food, taste, quality and overall experience.
We went there at 10 p.m. on a Saturday, which was almost closing time. I have found that you get very good service around closing but on the flip side, you are rushed a bit and the staff starts cleaning around you.
Anyways, once seated we looked over the menu and made our selections (drinks aside). We got the Thai Roti as an appetizer, which was fried dough with curry and peanut dips, served with lettuce and carrot garnishing. One plate was well portioned for 4 people. While delicious, I was hoping to get some more curry rather than just a miserly dip-sized bowl.
On to the entrees: we ordered the Red Curry with fish (extra spicy), Basil Fried Rice with chicken and shrimp (medium spicy), Gap rap Lad Kao with chicken (medium spicy) and the Siracha Noodles with chicken (medium spicy). While their medium spicy was pretty hot, I really enjoyed the Red Curry too - a real good sweat!! The fish and vegetables in the curry were not an afterthought, and the curry flavors had permeated very well into them.
The Basil Fried Rice was tasty in its own way. I got the strong basil flavor and the spice level was perfect. I usually find the meat in the rice and noodles to be pretty bland, but not in this case. Very well flavored again and in the right proportion.
Siracha Noodles were flat noodles with hot Siracha sauce. I did find the noodles to be a little mushy (overcooked) in places but maybe that was just me being too nit-picky. Again a great noodle dish and it was not too spicy (atleast for my taste buds).
Another star entree was the Gap rap Lad Kao. It had minced chicken on top of boiled white rice, and a fried egg decorating the dish. If you mixed everything well, each bite was delectable and it definitely had some punch to it. I was afraid that the white rice would dim the spice and flavors but I was surprised with each and every bite. Truly, another awesome dish on the menu.
I have to say, the portions were huge, the flavors were plentiful and the service was prompt. We probably got our meal in 15 mins (closing time means faster service), but we did not feel rushed at all. A pleasant 5 star dining experience, coupled with elaborate decor. I look forward to visiting the other location and comparing my experience at Nicky's.
