| - After standing at the doorway for a few minutes, we were told to seat ourselves wherever we wanted. After perusing the menu, we decided to ask for recommendations of what is the most authentic on the menu. Jan launched into Thai and the conversation rapidly took off onto a tangent about ice cream. We finally got back to the food and was recommended these dishes:
- Pad Kee Mow ($10) - stir-fried wide rice noodles with variety of veg and basil
- Pad Grapow ($10) - stir-fried onions, basil, bell pepper
- Arizona Heat Wave ($12) - interesting name for red curry
Each comes with choice of meat. We picked beef and chicken. We asked for both white and brown rice which are provided without additional charge - a nice touch. We asked for medium spicy and the seasoning was spot on. Good balance of salty, spicy and sweet which is what makes Thai food so addictive. I also liked the amount of vegetables that come with each dish, although more than what is traditional, it seems more healthy. The food was so tasty we had to ask for another round of rice.
Even though we live 5 min from Osha, we've been afraid to try it for fear of being disappointed since we cook pretty decent Thai food at home. I'm glad we finally took the plunge and look forward to going back for the excellent Pad Kee Mow, in particular. Note that Osha is family run so the service can be a bit laid-back which is, actually, very Thai.
(Please note that the restaurant will be close Feb 1-19 for a family trip back to Thailand, according to the signs posted on the walls.)
