| - Seriously one of the worst Thai restaurants I have ever been in this country. Whenever I travel and visit new cities, I visit a Thai restaurant (I crave Thai food more when I travel!). I was visiting a friend near Pittsburg and we were looking for a place to eat near the airport. This looked cute and clean from outside, so we decided to go in. The menu looked ok (although there were many non Thai items such as triple delight, which is a Chinese item). The appetizers (Thai toast and spring rolls) were ok..but the spring rolls were more Chinese-y than Thai. The toast was better , but not the beautiful shrimp and pork paste on toasts that you get from a really good Thai restaurant. Then came out main dishes-Lemongrass stirfry with you and Chile stirfry with chicken. They were not Thai at all! They were both like gooey Chinese buffet dishes. Thai stir fry dishes are never gooey or starchy, or too sweet without much definition of flavors. I could taste a bit of lemongrass, but there was so much sweet and strangely flavored sauce on that I could not enjoy it at all. Broccoli was cooked well, and the the chile stirfry was a bit better (closer to what it's supposed to be) , but I just couldn't believe how bad it was. Usually Thai food does not fail like this. Maybe I should have known that it was a "fusion" place. Service was good, food was prompt, and it's clean.. hence the 2 stars, not one.
