Finally had a chance to try out this place. I love pad Thai and actually wanted to order pad thai. However I saw that they are also selling khao soi! I had the khao soi from khao San road and I loved it! And it would be great if this one turns out to be good! Since it's much closer to home. So I thought I'll give it a try.
As a food court item it's not cheap. It's $11 while other food is generally selling at around $6. The owner was quite nice and talked to me while I was waiting for my noodles..,, saying that she's also selling macarons. Anyways my noodles was finally ready and..... Hummmm it's not as good as I thought it would be.
First the noodles wasn't egg noodles. It was just some Guilin rice noodles. And it was over cooked.... Sooo soft.
Then the soup, perhaps the one at khao San road was sooo rich I thought the soup has to be rich. But this one isn't. Perhaps it lacked the coconut milk....
The rest was just ok, some chicken some carrot some crispy stuff. Since the crispy stuff wasn't as thick as khao's it got softened by the soup very quickly.
All in all, I may not want to have this particular dish from thai5, but I'll come back to try the pad Thai. Also they have combo for one and combo for two which include pad Thai or curry as the main and spring roll, mango salad, or Tom yum Gung soup as appetizer at around $10/person.
