| - Good food, decent service, nice neighborhood location.
I had avoided this place in the past because I made some assumptions about it based on its location. I didn't think it would be all that great, what with it being in a strip mall in a grocery store parking lot. I'm glad I finally got over that assumption, because this is a solid restaurant, and it's very convenient for me.
I went in at lunchtime on a weekday. There were a few tables of people in the restaurant, but it wasn't very busy. There aren't many offices nearby, so that wasn't really surprising to me. I imagine this place gets more dinnertime business than lunchtime traffic. There are only a few tables inside, along with some bar seating from where you can see a bit of the cooking action.
The service was mostly attentive. I was seated quickly and given some recommendations on what was good. The menu is separated into the lunch menu and dinner menu. There are a number of lunch options for $8, and they include soup (or salad, I believe) and a fried spring roll. You can get brown rice for $1 extra or fried rice for $2 extra.
I ordered the mango dish with brown rice and the egg drop soup. The egg drop soup was good--certainly edible, but nothing fantastic. The spring roll was fresh and hot and wasn't greasy. And the mango dish itself was quite good. There were plenty of vegetables--something that is important to me--along with the chicken and the mango. Considering that the dish emphasizes mango, there wasn't a whole lot of mango on the plate, but what there was was fresh and was a nice addition to the plate.
I'll definitely be back here in the future. I've certainly had better Thai, but this is a solid offering.
