| - Solid 3.5. I desperately wanted to love this place. In terms of proximity to home and overall coziness, this seemed like an ideal Thai restaurant. I had the pad see eew and the girlfriend had the drunken noodles. We ordered the spring roll as well. Spring rolls were tasty, a great starter item per usual. Pad see eew was on point. I added baby corn, and lemme tell ya, they were liberal with the baby corn. No complaints about my favorite Thai dish! Flavor 100%. I was satisfied to the core. The drunken noodles were very, very spicy, but yummy nonetheless. We were warned by our server, but I only took a few bites and was done for. I would suggest ordering drunken noodles family style only...My girlfriend is a heat seeking fiend, and she struggled to eat her dish. She was warned twice that it was "very spicy" but agreed to it anyway. I found it odd that spice levels were not adjustable, but it is what it is.
We dined in on a Wednesday night. It was indeed busy - plenty of dine in customers AND take out orders. Unfortunately, we had to wait 50 or so minutes for our food. This left us a tad hangry for a bit - small Asian place like this...I typically assume hot plates to come out quick.
*note for vegetarians* I was hoping to try the Tom Yum soup and the curries...(hence the reason we got two noodle dishes), but they all have a fish sauce already cooked into it. That was a big bummer, and the reason why this place loses an additional star.
I don't think my girlfriend would return for the drunken noodles, but I'm not opposed to ordering the pad see eew again! ...I forgot to mention, the portions are HUGE! Plenty to take home. Definitely worth a try!
