| - I visited this place on the advice of the Yelpers, and it was lovely.
I hadn't had time to make a reservation and they were completely gracious about it and squeezed us in. Sitting outside on the back patio is really lovely, as it really does feel like a little oasis.
I had the red curry, which was excellent. Spiced perfectly and the vegetables were just cooked enough, but not mushy. The jasmine rice was also well prepared (I loathe mushy rice). I also had the spring roll, which was easily the best spring roll I ever had, with the balance of cilantro and basil perfectly complimenting the noodles and vegetables. The dipping sauce was also light, without veering into sickly sweet territory.
My husband had the noodle curry which was AMAZING. I like my curry, but kept trying to steal his. Again, perfectly cooked vegetables and the rice noodles also weren't overcooked. However, Nicky's has only four levels of hotness--mild, medium, hot and thai hot. I ordered hot and my husband ordered medium, and his dish was easily as spicy as mine.
Our two dinner companions ordered the chef special soft-shell crab, which I wasn't overly impressed with, but it wasn't bad, necessarily. The coating for the crab was a little greasy and a little soft.
The wonton soup which everyone else ordered was very delicious. The broth was extremely flavorful and the wontons were so light and well seasoned. I could eat buckets and buckets of the stuff.
They were quick to refill water glasses and attentive in their service. I wish I lived here so I could get takeout from here all the time. I would recommend for fresh, quick and extremely flavorful thai food.
