Lakewood has become quite the attraction for Thai restaurants. Must be something about Madison Avenue!
Heard about this place via Facebook and decided to give it a try. I get very picky about Thai food as I grew up eating it in our household.
Parking can be kind of tricky due to Angelos pizza being next door. Try parking on one of the side streets for better luck.
Walked in and the restaurant was very clean and open. It's pretty small and only had a few tables. There was bar seating.... Maybe for those eating individually? I would recommend maybe just adding more tables. We were able to grab a small table and pull up a chair for our son.
Kiwi was promptly over to our table and asked if we had any questions. My go to is always Som Tum papaya salad and gai yang (chicken). If a Thai restaurant doesn't have that, I question their authenticity. My wife ordered green curry, mild.
Our food came and I was extremely excited for my dish. The som Tum was very flavorful. It had the perfect amount of spiciness and the heat carried after you took some bites. The gai yang chicken served as a really nice compliment to the papaya salad. You can tell it was in a great marinade and prepared very well. If you've ever been to Bangkok and has street food, this is the combo you'll find. It tasted just like in the streets of BKK.
My wife really enjoyed her green curry. It looked like the portion amount was just right for her. I was too consumed in my dish that I forgot to try hers.
We finished with some Thai Tea bubble tea. It could've been blended a bit more, but still really delicious.
If authentic street food is what you are looking for, Thai Thai has it. It combines many of the street vendors you'll find in Bangkok into one spot right here in Lakewood!
