| - I usually get the same few dishes on a first order at a place new to me, but that was thrown out the window on this trip. So, I don't know how their pad thai and see ew compare to any of its neighbors, but the dishes we did order from Thai Thai were pretty good. (and the portions were huge)
The Chili Duck we ordered with a 3 star (out of 5), and it had pretty good flavor. Some of the duck pieces were overly fatty but I was happy with the spice level and the flavors.
The pud kee mao - basil noodle - (with pork) we ordered at a 4 star. Very happy with it. Awesome spice level, nice flavor, everything cooked well.
I was a little surprised that the "very spicy" 4 star never triggered the waterworks. It made me slow down once or twice, but not as intense as I was expecting. (I have a feeling the jump from 4 to 5 is pretty intense, though.) Enjoyable, especially in the company of others, as I wasn't really looking to be crying in my corner of the couch the whole meal.
Also, we called around 830 on a Sunday night and they said it would be 30 minutes (and it ended up taking a little bit longer) Really? Didn't seem to be any other orders being made, but oh well, good thing we weren't starving.
Overall, I think I'm more partial to other thai places in the area, but thai thai will definitely be on my list of options.
