A nice little Thai restaurant off Centre Street and worth venturing into. Dropped by for lunch and so far so good...
Fried Vegetable Spring Rolls...4 stars. Just your typical cabbage-filled spring rolls but cooked perfectly. Crispy and golden brown...can't argue with that. My only gripe is that the filling is under seasoned...I've had cabbage rolls elsewhere that were better tasting by itself, without the use of a dipping sauce.
Tom Yum soup w/ chicken...4 stars. A nice clean and flavorful broth that's absent of all herbs, with the exception of some chopped scallions...as much as I like to see the Kaffir lime leaves and lemongrass floating around, some places chop them up so finely that it's difficult to remove or avoid them and they become part of the meal (not a pleasant experience). Fortunately, Thai Bistro strains their broth. The broth also has just the right amount of spiciness and lime for a tum yum soup, though it may be too spicy for others. The only issue with this soup is the chicken...there's plenty of it (and mushrooms) but the chef needs to remove the tendon from the breast cause it's present in nearly every bite, despite the chicken being chopped.
Pad Kra Prow w/ chicken...4 stars. A chicken stir fry dish with chili, basil, bell peppers, onions and mushrooms on top a bed of rice. This dish is very light for a stir fry but flavorful and with just the right amount of heat. The only issue is the tendons being present in some of the chopped chicken breast pieces.
Pad Thai w/ chicken...5 stars. A well balanced dish. The sauce has just the right amount of peanut and tamarind flavor and not overly greasy. This is one of the better tasting and prepared pad thai's in town!
