  • Three and 1/2 stars - still better than Deejay Thai in my book. I personally don't care for hybrid restaurants but at least Vietnam and Thailand are neighbors and totally unlike Japan's, their cuisine share similarities Based on taste alone I would have easily rated it 4 stars but ... first impression is not so great. The place is dark and dingy, you're greeted by two banquettes with ripped seats by the door plus the Thai menu is extremely limited - only one page long. I wanted to try a duck dish -as always- but they don't serve any. M'kay, so we ordered a shrimp Tum Yum, a Pad Thai and a Shrimp and Eggplant stir fry and asked for everything to be spiced Medium hot. We were served a good size bowl of Tum Yum with the usual tomato chunks, mushrooms and shrimps but much more important also galanga, lemongrass, lime leaves, chili etc. Now THAT's how Tum Yum is made - caveat: it was a little heavy handed with lemongrass which could make it too strong for some. I've had better, but not much better and not in Charlotte. The Pad Thai was excellent, no other way to describe it. Lighter than the one we enjoyed at Thai orchid a few days earlier, but better for it. The Japanese eggplant was served with shrimp, onions and green and red peppers in a sweet chili sauce that left us with a sweet after taste. It was obviously stir fried to order and the eggplant was simply delicious, but for some reason I wished the red peppers had been cooked a little longer. The final result didn't make me think of "a dish" as much as of different ingredients sharing the same plate. Service was as expected, no complaints. We were charged dinner prices , $8 for the soup, about $13 for a dish because this was on a Sunday, which was fine because they made it up in quantity : we couldn't finish it all. To sum it up great food, wish it was closer. I think the limited menu and sad decor won't warrant what is a 20 mile round trip for us ... not unless we're badly craving for Tum Yum.
