| - I first came here a few weeks ago because I read all these great reviews about the restaurant and it's cheap lunch specials, ($4.99 for green curry??, can't get any better than that!). Since I'm such a thai food fiend I had to check it out and see whether the quality was up to snuff given the gross underpricing - If you guys aren't aware, green curry normally goes for over $10! So I did - got the green curry chicken with pad thai, naturally :), and though the portion sizes were not very large, for $4.99 I'm really not complaining. Quality-wise, it surpassed a lot of thai restaurants or 'make-shift' thai restaurants out there charging $10 for the same thing, or less than what i got, because really, who includes pad thai for $4.99 anyways? I've definitely never seen that type of generosity. The lady at the desk, who was also serving me was super nice and very friendly and smiley - I'm a server as well so I really appreciate when people have a good demeanor and "work" for their tip, so to speak. And generally I think for such a low price point, a lot of servers would not be so motivated to sing for their tip...
The 2nd visit which was today actually, I ordered one of the lunch express specials, the spicy chicken with rice and asked for extra spicy. I find that whenever I order extra spicy at restaurants it's never as spicy as I want it to be, maybe because many restauranteurs fear over-doing it, which as a result would potentially lead to less repeat customers.. But to add more praise for Thai Country Kitchen, the chicken was really spicy, just how I like it (think, eating raw chilies SPICY) and I know this because I didn't need to add any additional spice on top of it. On top of that I asked the same lady that served me the first time, (I'm guessing she owns the place), for some peanuts on the side, and she was happy to oblige, though my meal was a meager $5.99. Many other asian restaurants would have taken that opportunity to add an extra dollar or two for that same condiment. I know this because I've been to asian restaurants all my life due to being born into asianness lol.
In general, the food here seems authentic and much better price-wise and quality-wise than many "thai" restaurants I have tried since moving downtown.
If you want to try thai, it's a great place to start and to leave a great impression for any future endeavors into thai cuisine. Promise!
