| - Oh, what a wonderful experience.
My boyfriend and I were going a little nuts on Groupon yesterday (I think we purchased 3 different deals) when we discovered a Groupon Now! for Thai Buffet. My boyfriend is a huge buffet fan, and we both love Thai food. He got really, really excited and I couldn't say no, so we purchased our final deal of the day, went and ran some errands, and finished off at Thai Buffet.
We were the only ones there at that time, but we were a bit early for dinner and really late for lunch (I think we arrived around 4:15-ish). The buffet is not your standard type of buffet where you serve yourself, but it is all you can eat. Joann, the owner, described each of the dishes to us and piled our plates high with a variety of curries, as well as a bowl of soup and another plate of salad. We couldn't say no to any of the dishes, they all looked super amazing. And they were.
My favorite was probably the green curry; it wasn't as spicy as some green curries and it had green beans in it, which I love. Everything tasted more homemade than "restaurant-y," for lack of a better descriptor. I felt like I was in a Thai grandma's kitchen, and it was awesome.
As we finished our massive plates of food, Joann went back into the kitchen and prepared us bowls of coconut ice cream with mango, pumpkin custard, and sticky rice. This might have been my favorite part of the meal, but it's hard to say because it was all so good. I'm a total sucker for sticky rice, though.
Definitely will be back. You get a great value for the price (even without a Groupon, the buffet is $9.99/person), with quality eats and very friendly service.
