| - Having read lots of good reviews, I decided to try My Thai for myself one Saturday night recently. I have always been a big fan of Thara Thai, but thought I should broaden my Thai food horizons a little.
First, I have to say, the crab rangoon definitely lives up to the great reviews here! It's a refreshing change from the usual commercial fare. I personally would have liked it to be cooked just a tiny bit longer, but it was still the best I've had in a long while.
I ordered the Tom Kha Gai soup, but it was a far cry from what I usually have for this soup. The soup was very bitter, and almost inedible (for me, anyway). The broth had very little flavor, and I couldn't get past the overpowering bitterness. Perhaps it just had more of something than I was used to having. It was definitely a disappointment though.
My entree was Pad See Ew (chicken), ordered to be spiced as a 2 on their 1-4 scale. I definitely should have gone higher. I thought it was a bit bland, but overall a very average dish. I felt the portion size for the money was pretty good, in comparison to other establishments around.
I will give them a few more chances. Bonus star for delivering to west Champaign, which is a bigger oddity than you would think. They have a diverse menu, so I'm sure I will find opportunity to try more items. The president's fried rice has received good reviews here, so that might be my next adventure at My Thai. :)
