| - I really enjoyed this place years ago, it was one of the first places I ever had thai food. I was really looking forward to going here again since I recently moved back to the area. Felt too lazy to cook on my day off so thought it would be the perfect opportunity to see if they still measured up.
First I checked the reviews here, and I almost didn't bother. But I'm quite happy I took the chance. Everything, while not the best I've ever had, we quite tasty!
I had the authentic pad thai, the green veggie curry, the cashew chicken and the spring rolls.
I ordered through a delivery website and went to pick up the food. It was ready in about 15 minutes, and although they normally offer the free spring rolls for orders over 30 dollars only when you order through them directly, they still added them to my order free of charge when I asked why they weren't there. They were quick and helpful although they looked very busy and I might have felt differently if I was dining in.
Also I forgot to order rice and was quite pleased to find some in the bag when I got home!
As for the food:
- the spring rolls were meh, like a slightly higher quality grocery store spring roll,
- The cashew chicken was very nicely seasoned, although it could have been a touch spicier for my tastes. The quality of the chicken was excellent, all white meat peices that had absorbed the sauce really nicely. Their could have been more cashews, but I have yet to find a thai place ANYWHERE that puts in enough cashews, so I'm starting to think my standards are too high.
- The green curry was also well spiced, quite hot and it had broccoli which wasn't meantion on the menu but I was very happy about. They fry their tufo before putting it in the sauce which isn't my personal favorite but was still good. Became very happy while eating this that they had included rice.
- The sauce for both of those dishes was fairly thin
- They authentic pad thai was quite nice, subtly seasoned and I LOVE the crepe they wrap it in.
Overall quite a pleasant experience, and I have lots of leftovers for tomorrow!
