| - Thai Hut did not live up to the hype. Maybe we didn't order properly, but eh.
We went on a Thursday evening, and it was moderately busy. The waitstaff was prompt and attentive, and the foodservice was quick.
The place has a slightly gungy, dirty feel though. Just enough to be "ew" but not so gross that we had to leave. It smelled like cleaning solution, which gives me mixed feelings.
I ordered the yellow curry with tofu. It was weird. Thai cooks are famous for their ability make tofu spectacular, but that ability was not used in this dish. The tofu was cut into chunks and added to the sauce - not rocket science, and certainly not a great preparation of tofu. There were carrots and "potatos" in the mix as well. I call them "potatos" because I wasnt sure if they were just undercooked or if they were some other, unidentified vegetable. I would not order this dish again.
My husband had the spicy fried rice with tofu - it was definitely spicy, the tofu was prepared in the same way, and it had that terrible greasyness that bad fried rice sometimes has.
We also had fried spring rolls. They were the highlight of the meal - Small, light and crispy, they were really really good.
I don't think that I would go back to Thai Hut. We have not found our downtown Thai place yet.
