| - Thai House is one of my favorite Thai places ever. Their Panang curry is second to none, and is the reason why I fell in love with Kaffir lime leaves as a seasoning. The Pad Thai, which is of course the standard dish by which to judge any Thai restaurant, is just right; not too sweet, not too salty, not too fishy. The chicken satay is always moist and creamy, and the soups are delicious too. It's always a tossup between the creamy tom kha and the hot and sour shrimp soup.
Now, I'm not saying Thai House is perfect. We've been coming here since they first opened years ago, and have watched their service consistently improve. Service is now friendly and fast, which several years ago it was not. It can still be a little spotty - for example, on our last visit, the server forgot our beverages until well after the entrees arrived - but it is always earnest. And spicy food lovers, beware: on their scale of 1-5, I always order a 6, and usually it comes out about a 2. (Of course they have a chili paste you can add at the table, but I find it too acidic; it changes the flavor of the dish too much.) It can get a little tight in their small space, but it's well worth it for the food. And at these prices (less than $8 for a large dinner portion of the curries), Thai House will continue to get my business for many years to come.
