| - This location has always been some sort of Asian-inspired restaurant for as long as I can remember. They never seem to last, and quite frankly they've never really been all that good. It seems like FINALLY this has changed with La's Thai!
I'm not sure how long La's has been here, but mom has been ordering takeout from this place pretty regularly for quite awhile now and always has good things to say about it. A couple months ago when I was home for a visit we tried ordering from here, but discovered they were closed on Sundays. When I was here over the Christmas holiday we tried again (the day before Christmas Eve) and were successful.
My mom suggested that we split some spring rolls and Panang curry. Now, I'm a big eater and was skeptical about one appetizer and one entree being enough to split, but my mom insisted this would be more than enough food, and per usual she was correct! This place gives you a TON of curry...and it's delicious! Split between two people we still had leftovers. There are a a lot of vegetables (that taste fresh) and the chicken was tender. The spring rolls were yummy as well, and surprisingly not too greasy.
When I went to go pick up our order the place wasn't that big, but I actually thought it looked pretty nice and I wouldn't hesitate to dine-in with a few friends. The food is affordable and if the other entrees are the same portions as the curry, you certainly get your moneys worth.
One thing I have to say about this place (and for me this isn't a bad thing at all), is IMO the curry is a bit on the spicy side (but I like mine spicy!). I generally find Thai curry to be less spicy than Indian curry and I ordered "medium" (with the other options being "mild" or "spicy") to balance things out for me and mom (who has been know to find "mild" salsa to be spicy), and it had a good kick. She later informed me that she normally orders mild from La's, but she was able to handle it.
When I'm back visiting the 'rents, I'll definitely come back to La's Thai!
