I never want this place to close. It is a spot that makes my mouth water and my belly rumble. I love to find reasons to go, like I need a better reason than, dang this is good food. I love that the decor has really transformed since the remodel years ago but the food has stayed the same. I honestly love it. It is hard to just pick one thing on the menu that I love because, honestly it is all so freaking good. This trip we came because I had a friend visiting from California and was craving Thai food. Of course this was the spot that we recommended. IT is so close to my house that I come more often than I should.
Starters:
Thai Spring Rolls (fried): Fried spring rolls stuffed with vegetables, glass noodles. Served with plum sauce. I mean their fried springs rolls are fantastic. I think that they were 2 in the order so if you are looking to feed a group it would be a good idea to pick more from the menu. Filling but I could eat the order of two myself, and I am not that big of a sharer.
Thai Cuisine Rolls (fresh): Fresh rice paper stuffed with lettuce, basil leaves, and vermicelli noodles. Served with Thai Cuisine special house sauce. These were also good. We added tofu to the rolls. They also come with only two rolls but are a bit bulkier so they are more sustainable for an appetizer.
We asked for these rolls to be cut in half to help us divide them up more evenly with the group. This worked out nicely for all of us.
Fried tofu (personal favorite/fried): Crispy fried tofu. Served with a peanut sauce. Personal favorite. I love fried tofu and Thai Cuisine does a really good job. Not to crispy and not too much breading. Just the right amount of fried to make you want to come back for more but not worry about the calories.
Main Dish:
Panang Curry: Broccoli, bell peppers, and basil leaves in a coconut curry sauce. Heck yes. This is what I get all the time. I add extra veggies and chicken to mine to make it a more filling dish. I love the sauce and could drink it if that wasn't super weird or possibly give me a bad belly ache. The veggies are always crisp and tasty. I like that you also get a choice for brown or white rice. I usually like brown but sometimes will mix it up if I am feeling peckish. I would suggest a nice even spice level of 3. I do not like to not be able to enjoy what I am eating so a level 3 is just up my alley.
I love it here. I think that more people should try it out. They are also BYOB so we enjoyed a nice bottle of wine for a glass fee that was really reasonable. They even brought us out a nice bucket of ice to chill the wine in.
The service and the staff were excellent. The food is top notch. Come here for a nice dinner and great conversation. It really is something else.
