I thoroughly enjoy thai food and wanted to check this place out. I like to support local business, especially if they deliver genuine food, service, and the desire to return!
I would say that at first I was a bit skeptical of the buffet but upon entering and smelling the aromatic spices, my ears perked up and I couldn't wait to taste it. JoAnn and her family were delighted to have us as we were thrilled to enjoy her cooking. She makes all the dishes by herself and her two kids help her prepare and serve customers. She prepared a special dish for our table of four, and was also making dishes that were getting low at the buffet.
As for the buffet, here are some of the best things:
The vegetarian corn and broccoli dish was garlicy and saucy
The thai chicken wings were great: imagine a spicy sweet and sour chicken wing
The yellow curry was as thick as anybody could want it. Superb!
The shrimp fried rice had huge shrimp!
The Pad Thai was a little dry, but Pad Thai is not my favorite dish in general.
I asked her son if they had anything spicier than Sriracha and she prepared a spicy oil based chili sauce. LIttle orange and green chiles really gave it its kick, something I have been on the search for since I began eating Thai food. Every time I would go to a thai restaurant, they could never satisfy my need for spiciness. JoAnn certainly made the hot sauce that hit the sweet spot. All my friends thought it was too hot or just enough. I need some in my kitchen and asked her if I could get a jar of it so I could take it home. She pleasantly agreed!
JoAnn checked on us and brought us the infamous pumpkin custard and it was definitely the most decadent warm custard I have had. We thanked her for having us for dinner (because you genuinely feel like you are in her home and she is making a 5 course meal for you) and I will be in touch with her about the Fire Hot Sauce she made.
