| - We're just finishing our lunch from Touch of Thai now.
On everyone's recommendation, we chose to order out, and I'm glad we did. The strip mall was horrifying (ToT is next to a biker bar), and the restaurant decor was almost enough to make us turn right back around.
Our server was adorable. Cute high school kid, really eager, came over and chatted with us while we waited for our order. He was just effortlessly likable and efficient. Major points here.
We ordered just the basics: the chicken satays, the pad thai, and the shrimp and pineapple red curry.
The portions were what I would consider lunch-sized, though we ordered from the dinner menu. Thai food to me is about the spices- the portions can easily be bulked up with tofu or veggies or something.
The satays were okay, nothing special, but done nicely.
I've had better pad thai at Pei Wei. Blech.
But the red curry... I'll admit to drinking the extra broth, it was just so good. It was creamy and well spiced and cooked long enough to bring out the flavor without tasting like it had been going all day. It could have used a little more "meat"... even if not shrimp, maybe some veggies or tofu or something.
We got everything medium hot, which wasn't hot at all. Spiced, but not hot. Next time (and there will be a next time), I'll ask for "Thai hot".
The lunch prices on the menu were great. I wish we had gone then. As it was, our bill for an app and two entrees was over $30, which was a bit much.
