| - What a cool, quirky little place with a very friendly hostess/waitress! It is nothing special to look at outside, but inside, there are many interesting and attractive pieces of art/junque everywhere, bright colors, plants, and huge windows. The entire restaurant is very clean. There is ample, free parking to the side and back of Le Thai Cafe. BTW, while the location may initially seem as if it is in the middle of nowhere, it is fairly close to Ross Park Mall and McCandless Crossing.
We came for lunch and were not disappointed. We are Pad Thai junkies, so, of course, that was what we ordered - he had the Beef Pad Thai and I ordered the Shrimp (both were $2 upcharges). Despite the menu stating that lunch came with an egg roll, a small salad arrived at our table, composed of greens (no iceberg lettuce - YEA!), shredded carrot, red onion and a tasty dressing. Our Pad Thai dishes were delivered hot and attractively plated. The sauce on the rice noodles was a pinkish color and pleasant tasting, although a little sweeter than we are accustomed. Just a note: you might want to dial back your typical spice level. We always request a 7 for me and he likes a 5; we both thought that our meals were very, very spicy - although not too spicy to still be enjoyable. We will go with #5 and #3 levels on our next visit - which will be soon!
