I have seen Pin Kaow several times while in the shopping plaza and we decided to stop in for lunch. As soon as we walked in we smelled the insense and noticed the Thai style decor, a very Thai experience. We were greeted quickly and sat in a booth near the bar.
The server gave us the lunch specials menu which offered 10 different dishes including typical Thai dishes of pad thai, red curry, thai salad as well as some chinese dishes of sweet & sour, chow mien and fried rice. It was a nice variety and had several vegetarian dishes as well.
We chose the chicken pad thai and chicken red curry. The lunch specials come with soup of the day which was chicken egg drop. The soup and drinks came out quickly. The egg drop soup was excellent, some of the best I have had and adding chicken was a nice touch.
After my second spoonful, the lunch entrees arrived. If your on your lunch hour and in a hurry this would have been fine, but we were not. I hate to complain that food came out too fast, but it really did. I didn't get to enjoy my soup and felt rushed.
The pad Thai came with an egg roll and fried wonton and the red curry came with fried rice. The spiciness was perfect for both of our dishes and the flavors were great. We were both happy with the food. Pin Kaow has a great selection of desserts as well. They have sticky rice and mango as well as a selection of home made ice creams, of which I chose coconut. I thought it was okay, nothing special though.
Overall we enjoyed the food and Pin Kaow but we felt a little rushed with the food coming out so fast. If your in a hurry though you will appreciate it! Definitely a place I would return to when craving Thai.
