Khao soiiiiiiii!!! Been searching for a spot that compares to the khao soi I had in Chiang Mai! None came close, but this place is probably the most tasty I've tried yet.
When you try Thai food in its motherland, it's pretty difficult to find a place that satisfies your Thai tooth here in America! I don't know if it's nostalgia, or the craving for authenticity that draws me into Thai spices...other than the pure fact that Thai spice is inherently addicting to my existence! When youve had an amazing sexy bowl of khao soi in northern Thailand, you're hooked! And there's not many places that serve that heart warming noodle dish!
Thai st cafe comes close! I'm all about the drumstick to maintain authenticity and of course the flavorful broth! This joint meets the standard! Pretty yummy! I actually cannot stop thinking about how it made me feel every time that spoon and chopstick of goodness entered my mouth!
What I will dock off a star for is an unfortunate matter! MANGO STICKY RICE! I'm the largest fan of withholding the coconut milk! Just too much sweetness! The sweetness and sticky ness of the rice is more than enough. Butttt...I asked for the coconut milk on the side, and it came out drenched and the sever insisted that it's for flavor! So I politely asked for just the sticky rice and mango. An unbelievably disappointing event happened after that! The rice was hard as a rock! And had zero flavor! I see why they drench it in coconut milk. I couldn't even enjoy it and it truly bummed me out!
In conclusion, no mango sticky rice to be enjoyed for me at this establishment, but I will come
Back for that khao soi!
