AHHH-MAZING! From the ambience and decor to the food and the staff. Everything was literally perfect. I've been trying to find the best Thai food in Las Vegas for quite a while and I think I might have just found it.
My friend requested this place because she said it was sooo good. I was down for something new so we went. Honestly, when I first entered the plaza, I was skeptical because it was located in a dark and sketchy place. I didn't want to get robbed! I also noticed it was the same plaza as the famous Lotus of Siam. Anyways, we requested a reservation for a party of four like 15 minutes before we arrived and they accommodated for it. When we entered I was already freezing my butt off from the cold and they quickly changed our table farther away from the entrance. So considerate.
It is a very small restaurant that probably seats up to 40ish people. The decor was modern, simple and delicate. They even had soothing ambient music playing. The staff was seriously so incredibly nice and caring. Overall it has an amazing ambience.
We ordered calamari and chicken satay bites for our appetizers. Ugh so good. I want some more. The calamari was so crispy and it was seasoned with hot peppers and salt like your traditional salt and pepper wings from a legit Chinese restaurant. It brought back some good memories. And the chicken satay bites were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious.
For our entrees we ordered the Arawan pad thai, pork pad see ew and orange chicken. I seriously fell in love with the pad Thai. It was so perfect and my spice level was on point. not too spicy but just a kick. The presentation was so cool. They cover the pad Thai in an fried egg lattice. How cool is that! I didn't try any of the other entrees but everyone said they loved their dish. We all finished our plates and it definitely filled up up.
Even though I was stuffed I had to order dessert. Duh. There's always room for that. We ordered the creme brûlée and the mango island. The presentation again wowed us. It was almost too beautiful to eat. The creme brûlée was also covered in a lattice but in sugar form. The dish was so delicate and delightful. As for the mango island it was a twist on the traditional mango and sticky rice. It was so good. It had mangos made into a few ways, it's purest form, gelato, and a sauce. It was arranged so that you can get a little bite of everything. It was heaven!
I definitely recommend this place and I already want to go back. Try everything. Literally I could die right now from how good it is.
Oh! And "go to the bathroom" as you walk to the bathroom they have a private little dining area that resembles a Japanese tea house! So cool!
