| - Pork Fried Rice $12 - A+
I think the name Pi-Tom is inviting and it translates to mean "older brother Tom." If you're staying at the downtown Hilton Garden Inn, this restaurant is located conveniently right across the street. I came here for dinner on a Monday night and the place was pretty quiet. The restaurant is nicely decorated (casual atmosphere) and there are both tables and booths to choose from. They serve beer and wine, and I went with wine for dinner. It was a generous glass of Cabernet for $7. They also offer house wine around $5. The service was great - attentive but not overbearing.
There were many things to choose from on the menu, including different kinds of fried rice and noodle dishes to a variety of specialty fish dishes. They even offer duck, which I was tempted to try, so perhaps next time. The pork fried rice was full of goodies - pork, Chinese broccoli, onion, red bell peppers, egg and carrots. It was pretty tasty and even came with a small side salad. The portion is pretty big and I couldn't finish my meal in one sitting.
I've also carried out one of their lunch specials. For about $10, I got an order of chicken pad Thai that came with a mango salad and a spiced pumpkin soup. Both the salad and the soup were especially tasty. The noodles in the pad Thai was cooked perfectly.
Other dishes I've tried:
Chicken Pad Thai lunch special - comes with a side of mango salad and spring roll. Pretty good deal and good noodles.
Thai Fried Rice with Chicken - Comes with Chinese broccoli, eggs and tomatoes. Good Thai flavoring, but I would have added more soy sauce if I had some on deck.
