5 R Cha is a nice little Thai cafe that we hit every now and then. We're big Thai food connoisseurs, and this place passes the test.
The cafe is quaint, with a nice little patio in front. If you are familiar with the neighborhood it used to be Cafe Roma. The inside is nice and everything is clean.
The Thai Iced Tea is a trip! It is wonderful, and is in a giant margarita chalice...this thing is huge! The panang is great, with the spice just how you ask for it every time. My husband recently tried the beef boat noodles (I could be making that name up) and he thought it was flavorful and the meat tender.
When it comes to dessert, we will pass from now on. The rice they use in sticky rice isn't the white glutinous, but a coarse kao neow dam that I was not a huge fan of. Mango is in season, but the mango used was not ripe and was cut with some rind left on.
The service is always fast and friendly. I would recommend 5 R Cha for Thai food if you're in the area.
