| - There's a new In-N-Out Burger on Tropicana just west of the 215. At any given time, there's a drive-through line that snakes across the parking lot and an In-N-Out employee assigned to manage the traffic. With all the activity surrounding In-N-Out, it would be very easy to miss a small mom-and-pop Thai restaurant directly across the street. It's tucked behind a Goodyear tire shop, right behind the Carl's Jr. Actually, if you weren't looking for it you'd probably miss it altogether.
There aren't many good asian restaurants in this zip code, so Corner Thai Kitchen is convenient and saves me a drive down to Spring Mountain (AKA that street with all the Chinese restaurants on it). We ordered some simple Thai dishes - Pad Thai, Panang Curry Chicken, and Pineapple fried rice. If a Thai restaurant can't get these right, it's not worth going to. The Panang Chicken and pineapple fried rice were good, but the Pad Thai needed to be redone because it was a tad salty. The staff remade it without hesitation and it came out in just a few minutes. The second time was just right. Prices are very reasonable ($6.95-$9.95 for dinner entrees). They even have lunch specials for $5.95 (haven't had a chance to try it though).
If you feel guilty after shopping at Wal Mart and contributing to the demise of small business, you can grab a bite at Corner Thai Kitchen and feel a little bit better about yourself.
Rating: 3 stars, but a bonus star for potential. There are more authentic dishes on the menu that I need to try.
