| - It's always the family owned ethnic restaurant in the of the hood that be DA BOMB! Don't be afraid to venture into the hood, if you need to take a friend it's OK, totally understandable. Hell, I'm always on ALERT, but this is not a review about the neighborhood , this is a review about some DELICIOUS-ass Thai food.
The restaurant is situated at the back of the small shopping area, 2 doors down from family dollar. Very spacious restaurant, very clean, a few pics of dishes on the wall. Unlike other restaurants that uses pictures as the menu you won't find that here. I believe 8 or 9 pictures on the wall.
If you've scanned through my reviews you might have noticed my pad thai addiction. Pad Thai is like America and apple pie, it's an automatic. If you fudge this up, I don't want to try any other dish at your restaurant. Pad Thai is my safe choice when trying a new place.
So the pad Thai, the flavor was good, not too sweet. Tofu, slightly firm, a little crisp at the corners of the tofu. Green onion, crushed peanuts and bean sprouts w/ a little file sauce. The only complaint that I have would be the bean sprouts. They were kind of limp, no crunch, I mistaked them for noodles. But all in all it was delicious.
Check in on Yelp and you get a free soda or iced thai tea. I almost made the mistake of getting soda instead of tea. I'm glad I didn't, the Thai tea is nice and settled. The tea used is a strong brew but the chai mix balance it out. Th sweetness of the chai and the bitterness of the the tea, which kicks in again at the end of the sip. Go ahead and bring $2.25 b/c your gonna wanna 2, drink your free one and save the other for later. It's really good.
I'm going back, I gotta try the chicken larb next...and get 2 iced Thai teas
