| - This is our go to Thai restaurant whenever we've been away from home and had visited Thai restaurants in other cities. The flavor is what we are used to and we usually get the same entrees which include. Tom Yum soup with shrimp, Pad woo sen, Beef basil, Pork Larb, Thai beef salad, and spring rolls. We've ordered other entrees, but these are the ones that we usually include in our order. We get it at spicy level 7, sometimes a 5 for my daughter. The spice level is usually what we can count on to be pretty consistent. Since my husband has been to Thailand a few times, he knows what Thai hot is, and most restaurants don't usually serve it that way for us Americans. I am sure a level 7 would be much hotter in Thailand. But we rather enjoy the food than be sweating it out and having a runny nose from the heat! Plus our insides would thank us!
This past visit though, the spice levels got mixed up somehow. The Tom Yum soup was not spicy at all. Hubby had to add more of the base that we keep in the fridge at home for when he makes his own. And the rest of the entrees seemed to be at a level 5, except for the larb which my daughter eats, seemed to be spicier. Not sure if they have a new cook, but its been months since we've been able to order from here. The flavors are still there, just the spice level was off.
I love how they get the beef so ground up in the Beef basil. Other restaurants use thin slices of beef, which I like too, but I like the ground better somehow.
