| - After spending time at the casinos, we were looking for some thai takeout to take back to the room for my brother and his gf since they were nice enough to watch our toddler son while we went on a date. This was the only place still open after 10pm. I remember eating at one of the older locations many years ago and the food was decent. The new location is much nicer and larger complete with live music capability and a small dancefloor. Only one table was seated, which I guess does not say much since it was a Monday night at a non-strip location. We try our best not to eat at any strip restaurants since the food is generally over-priced and in our experience, horrible. We like to eat where the locals would eat . The server was very friendly and welcoming and told us to sit down at a table since the counter was dark. The menu had a good variety, did not have my favorite pad ki mao, but I was able to order Thai Beef Jerky, Nam Sod Salad, which are my brother's favorite. I also ordered Pad Thai and Pork Belly with Chinese Broccoli for his gf. Portions were ok for the price, aside for the chinese broccoli, since it did not come with rice and it's not like the box was even half full. The Nam Sod had good flavor but I ordered it medium spice and my brother said there was barely any spice. The pad thai did not have much flavor to it although they did use fresh rice noodles, which is always a plus. They did not put any condiments in the bag aside from some cheap packets of soy sauce, which is useless to thai people. For restaurants that serve Isarn style thai food, I expect the spice level to be higher. I will make a note to order level 10 spicy if we decide to order from them again. I am glad the server did not handle any of our food since she seated us where we had full view of what was happening behind the bar. She blew her nose and did not wash or sanitize her hands. Had she decided to touch our food I would have complained and walked out. They must have a large crowd later on in the night since they open til 4am on a weekday. We probably will not dine in. There are many thai restaurants in the area so we will continue to try more each time we come to Vegas!
