| - I never noticed the restaurant until a friend recommended coming here for dinner one night. I go down Lee road all the time, but somehow kept missing this place...silly me.
I've eaten here twice so far, and had good food both times. Sometimes with Asian restaurants you worry whether they serve authentic Asian cuisine, or a more Americanized "fusion" version of Asian food. Luckily, this place serves the former rather than the latter.
I came here both times with a group of friends. Their menu is quite big, so there are plenty of dishes to choose from. Some of my friends are vegetarian, and it's great to see a good number of options for them besides the typical salad! The servers are very nice, and if you have any questions about any of the dishes they are more than happy to answer them. I couldn't make up my mind about which dish I wanted this time around, fortunately, our server was kind enough to list some recommendations for me to try. We ordered the following: papaya salad (this has a good kick to it!), veggie rolls, seafood dynasty, samlaw korko- tofu (#61), samlaw machu kahti- tofu (#64), mi chha noodles- shrimp, veggie pad thai, and two soups- tom yum goong and mekong soup. We tried each others' dish, which is the great thing about dining out with a group of friends! My favorite was the samlaw korko! The sauce was delicious with zucchini and rice. With southeast Asian cuisine, it's a great mix of sour, sweet, citrusy, salty, and spicy foods. They often use pungent fish oil, shrimp paste, garlic, and ginger etc. to make their delicious dishes...and I must say I love every bit of it! This place is worth a try if you haven't been here already! Warning, the portions are pretty big, so remember to share...sharing is caring!
