| - First: big thanks to the other reviewers of Thai Grill. I just moved to Las Vegas from California yesterday and needed some great grub to lift my spirits after the long drive.
I ordered what seems to be a local fave: Tom Kah Kai. For those not fluent in Thai, it's a sour chicken soup with mushrooms and a coconut base. My fiancé (Erin Ashley) was apprehensive at first. Then came the first slurp of the creamy broth. Words cannot describe the glory in that to-go cup. Do yourself a favor and order this when you come here. Oh, and we finished off the soup for breakfast this morning, too -- it was just as good chilled.
Since it was my first time visiting Thai Grill, I ordered Pad Thai. What spaghetti is to Italian, pad Thai is to... well, Thai. Peanuts and noodles and sprouts (which Erin Ashley ate; sprouts are one of two things I culinarily dislike) and hot sauce and shrimp. All exquisitly prepared. Big thumbs up for this staple dish.
While waiting for everything to be prepared, I enjoyed a Thai Iced Tea. Sweet, spice-y (not to be confused with spicy), creamy, smooth, rich... all the wonderfully exotic things the beverage was meant to be.
The owner (Jill) is also more than pleasant. It is obvious that she takes great pride in her restaurant. As she should, too! Not only is the food phenomenal, the interior of the facility is immaculate! Well-lit art hangs on every wall and tables, chairs & booths are all very fine in appearance.
5-Stars for Thai Grill. This is definitely a place I'm looking forward to going back to again and again.
Hope to see you there!
