| - Ate here last night with a friend. I hadn't done any research prior to our visit, and she had only skimmed the Yelp reviews, so we hadn't anticipated that it would be quite as much of a take-out only kind of atmosphere. But we sat anyway, and the service was pretty friendly. I can only assume that this place is owned and operated by a family? The girl who brought us our food was a teenager wearing ear buds, there was an older woman who had been sitting behind the counter who did not seem to speak English, and a younger man whose English was middling (there were definitely some moments of confusion, and I teach ESL haha) who took our orders. There was also an older man who kept coming in and out of the restaurant.
ANYWAY, the important part is the food, and the food was really, really good. My friend got spring rolls which were filled with beef, cabbage, and other shredded veggies. Super crispy and flavorful. I ordered the green curry with chicken, which had Thai eggplant, bamboo shoots, and pumpkin...and it was off. the. chain. It had a good heat: a nice, slow burn that kept me eating...I almost finished it, and it was a huge portion! And only $8.50. My friend got the Tom Yum soup, which was filled with shrimp (with the heads and tails still on, which I thought was pretty legit), chicken, and mushrooms. The broth had a nice fishy sour thing going on.
So, I'd highly recommend this place, but more so for take-out.
