| - Hidden in a little strip mall off of Decatur and Lake Mead is this little gem called Thai Grill. May not look like much on the outside, but inside....boy oh boy can you smell some good Thai eats going on. Coconut. Mint. Basil. Lovely. My wife took me here one night for dinner because her work office nearby often calls in for lunch take-out. She told me the folks in their office like it here.
Nice atmosphere, very cozy. Not too busy on a Friday night, granted it is in a less then affluent part of town, but the hostess was very hospitable. Ok fine. This place is in the ghetto...."In the ghetttoooooo...." but damn this is where some of the best food is. Best chicken? F-U KFC. Ghetto. Best ribs? Forget it Famous Dave. Ghetto. Best Mexican? Eh, ese are you lost? Ghetto. And I have no problem with that. As long as you don't try to steal my food. Then yous going to have a problem. Yeah, I'll show you Hunger Games!
For the life of me, I can't remember what we had for dinner on this night. But here are a few of my favorites:
-Beef Salad ($9.99) - Grilled marinated beef with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Served with lime juice dressing.
-Spicy Basil with chicken ($8.99) - Signature entree, with garlic, fresh chili, onions, and jalapenos.
-Pad Thai with chicken ($8.99) - Rice noodles in home-made pad thai sauce, egg, bean sprouts, and topped with peanuts.
All the food? Excellent. The beef salad is so good with that dressing, bright and refreshing. From what I can gather, lime juice, fish sauce, salt and pepper, and some other spices in there make that salad pop. I like basil so the spicy basil dish was a natural for me. The savory of the meat with the sweet touch of basil and the kick of the jalapeno, yummy! And yes, their pad thai is one of the better ones I've had in Las Vegas. Great when it's hot out of the kitchen!
The menu at Thai Grill is pretty extensive, there's so many things on it that I haven't tried yet. Besides Thai appetizers, soups, and salads, there's a diverse entree menu. So many dishes: noodles, rice, seafood, curries, house specialties, just way too many to list. They even have a section of the menu that's dedication to food from different regions of Thailand, a very nice touch. I hope to eventually try more of these!
And of course for those of you on a budget or wanting a culinary sample of Thai food, you can always go for Thai Grill's lunch special from 11 AM - 3 PM M-F. There's over a dozen entrees to choose from and each come with Jasmine rice or fried rice and a cup of soup. I'd go for one of the curries (yes people, please be adventurous every once in a while) or the pad thai or ginger entrees. Choose chicken, beef, pork, or veggies for only $6.99. Choose seafood for $7.99. Super great deal! Forget your burger combos and your $5 footlongs every payday Friday and go exotic! Your taste buds with thanky thanky you!
If you visit here late at night, please keep your Range Rover, Hermes, Christian Louboutin, and blingy-bling at home! I will not be responsible for intimitable stare-downs and your impending robbery! And above all...respect people, respect! Keep it all good in the Hood.
