I'll admit to occasional skepticism of DDD featured restaurants, but I've dined here pre and post DDD, so its not a factor in this review. In fact, I'd much rather drop into the Wild Thaiger (love the name) than its more illustrious and aging neighbor Durant's.
We sampled a couple of soups and peanut chicken on our latest visit and, as usual, loved all the selections. We arrived for dinner a bit early on a weeknight and had no wait. Service was prompt and courteous. Menu pricing is reasonable for the quality and location. The kitchen is open concept (sorry, I'm mixing up DDD with Home Hunters) and visible to the curious if you like seeing your food prepared. And the décor is part tiger, part Thai.
There are a lot of excellent Thai spots in the Valley, making it a very competitive category in which to earn a five star review. Wild Thaiger is very close. It's also just a bit different from the norm. We always do soup at the Thaiger, not our norm. If you have a passion for Thai cuisine, definitely give Wild Thaiger a try. I wish it was located a bit closer to where I live so that I could more easily frequent it and ponder an upgrade to five stars.
