| - Tom Yum
Location/Parking: In the Walmart/Home Depot strip mall on Grand and Bell.
Atmosphere: Clean, quiet, bright, and open. Small bar but with plenty of decent enough wines.
Cleanliness: Very clean and tidy. Would you expect anything less from a Thai place?
Service: Attentive without being motherly. Your glass stays full but you don't feel like you're being watched.
Food/Drinks: On my first visit, we started with Spring Rolls. Very tasty and light. Always a good choice. I ordered the Red Curry Chicken with Green Beans and my husband got the Chicken and Broccoli in Peanut Sauce. Holy crap, they were so delicious!
On my second visit, we stopped in for an early dinner and a glass of wine. This time we tried the Summer Rolls. Yum! Fascinating little apps wrapped in rice paper. Good stuff. I got #5, Ginger Angel - Onions, mushrooms, fresh ginger and bell pepper sautéed in garlic ginger sauce. My husband got #8, Spicy Green Bean - Green bean in Thai'd up curry paste with a touch of green bell pepper.
On my third visit, a friend and I went in for lunch. I got Red Curry Chicken - Thai red chili pepper base, eggplant, green bean, bell pepper and basil - and my friend got Pad Thai. She said it was really good. We shared an order of the Crab Rangoon as an appetizer. That stuff was outstanding. I could seriously eat a whole plate of those all by myself.
Happy Hour: None that I'm aware of, but any hour that you're holding a glass of wine is pretty happy.
Price: $8-$10. Nice lunch specials. Delicious Thai food that won't break the bank.
I can't describe how good this food tastes. Pictures just don't do it justice.
I definitely need to go back until I eventually try the whole menu. It's really good and you won't be disappointed. Try it for lunch first if you're afraid of commitment.
