| - How have I not reviewed Thai Thai yet? The last few times I went have left such a bad taste in my mouth (literally) that I can't let go of each bad experience I had. Just to start off with--I really wanted to like Thai Thai, truly, I did. I heard they had won awards like "Best Takeout in CLT" plus who doesn't love the idea of a take out only place?
So when I moved to Dilworth, I was stoked to have it nearby. I could call in my order, be there within 10 minutes and be on my merry way with a container full of noodles. That was the idea in my head at least. Like any Thai place I try, I judge them based off of their Pad Thai which is really difficult to mess up. The first time I went there, it was meh. There was absolutely no flavor to it, the veggies were funky and the tofu didn't seem like it was cooked enough. So maybe it was a bad batch, very possible. I gave it a second chance and ordered it with some extra spice that time around and it was not spicy whatsoever. Wtf? When I say I want spicy, I want my mouth to tingle a bit and maybe even sweat. I did try it the day after and it was actually better than it was fresh and was enjoyable after adding a few tablespoons of the rooster.
So now, each time I drive or walk past Thai Thai, a little piece of my heart breaks. I really wanted it to be my good-to takeout spot but I just don't see it ever happening.
