| - I've been a repeat customer since my first visit here--late night post-drinking eats--and have yet to be disappointed after each visit (lunch, dinner, more post-drinking meals). I was definitely surprised when my boyfriend took me here (instead of Firefly), and I realized what I'd been missing out on for quite some time.
With the exception of anything extremely spicy (definitely can't handle that with my sensitive stomach), I've enjoyed quite a bit of the menu. I've had the following:
Mango Tofu - Iused to order this a lot until I realized what I was missing when it came to eating BEEF. Still a pretty tasty alternative, and large enough portions that if you eat this alone, you could probably still manage to take some home
Lemongrass Chicken - Pretty tasty and one of my favorites. The first time I had this dish, I almost finished it all by myself. Lol.
Teriyaki Chicken - delicious
Thai BBQ Pork Spareribs - I snatched one of these from a friend's plate and he almost bit my fingers off. Haha. He, on the other hand, demolished the rest of the ribs and seriously kept gnawing at the rest of the meat on the bone, cherishing every bite.
Beef Rendang - Tender, full of flavor, and another favorite dish that I've had from time to time. I can't say that I've been disappointed whenever I've eaten this dish. Even though it's marked as spicy on the menu, we were able to have the spice level taken down, thankfully.
Yakitori Chicken Satay - I generally tend to get an order of these each time that I eat here. The chicken is tender, but I really like the dipping sauce a lot more, in addition to the accompaniments--cucumber and onion.
Black Pepper Beef - I also like this dish. Yes, I seem to like a lot of meat dishes, but with pepper and beef, I figured you couldn't really go wrong.
Brown Rice - standard brown rice
Coconut Rice - Pretty yummy, although I don't really eat rice. It's different, though--sweet, but still rice.
Thai Sticky Rice - This is another dish that I have tried, but is an acquired taste, as I am not really partial to rice.
Vegetable Spring Roll - Another basic staple that I order when I eat here. Even though it's your standard fresh roll, the sauce is delicious, and the freshness is hard to beat.
Har Gow - what you would typically find when going out for dim sum
Pad See Ew - LOVE this dish. Noodles, eggs, broccoli, soy sauce = yummy. I tend to just grab a tiny bit of this, but usually end up eating half, if not 3/4 of the entire dish. Lol.
House Fried Rice - This is one of the few rice dishes that I will willingly eat, especially with some extra Garlic. YUM.
Thai Garlic Chicken - Chicken breast with garlic upon garlic? Obviously I am a fan.
Hainan Chicken - I like this as a healthy alternative, mainly because this is steamed. I also think that the sesame soy sauce helps bring out the tenderness of the chicken, as well as the full flavor. Be prepared, though, that this is a HUGE dish.
Thai Garlic Beef - Beef, garlic sauce, and garlic? Again, a fan of this dish.
Mango Sticky Rice - my boyfriend's definitely a fan of this dessert, as he loves rice, sweets, and mango.
Delicious, delicious, delicious. I can't help but talk about how much of this menu I love.
In addition, the service is great (I've eaten with larger parties of 10 to smaller parties of 2) and they're quite attentive, friendly, and helpful when it comes to suggestions and refills.
My only problem is that the lot gets packed at night, so plan accordingly (the plaza shares a parking lot with Firefly, Ruth's Chris, and other restaurants/businesses.
I will say, though, that I've enjoyed coming here--whether to grab a bite after going out, enjoying a quick lunch, sitting on the patio and listening to the DJ spin or even just sitting indoors and enjoying the company of friends/family/my significant other--despite the reason.
Can't wait to come back...
