I love that this place is in my neighborhood. It is rare to find a Thai restaurant that serves masaman curry, much less good-tasting masaman curry! This place is easily the best Thai place I've eaten at. In my opinion, Lotus of Siam does not compare.
Also, the combination fried rice is delicious and extremely flavorful. I usually order takeout; they are very prompt and accurate when quoting a pick-up time. The few times I have dined at the restaurant, service was probably as good as it gets for being an Asian restaurant. The servers and bussers were attentive and did not let your drink sit empty for long.
One negative thing about this place is that they only serve one small bowl of rice for two people. Extra rice is like $2.50 per bowl, which I find ridiculous, especially when both guests order curry and a small bowl is obviously not enough for two people.
I love trying out new Thai restaurants, but when I'm in the mood to eat Thai food and I don't want to be disappointed, I choose Pin Kaow.
