| - Now anyone who's read any of my reviews has seen me say over and over again, that me and my partner have big appetites. We're not dainty eaters.
And so, it was with great anticipation, that we paid a visit to this restaurant after working out. Perhaps that wasn't the smartest thing to do, since we're usually not so hungry after lifting. Nevertheless, we ordered two Thai teas; the appetizer combo plate; a combo curry entree for me; the Penang Peanut curry for him.
The Thai teas were a little sweeter than I've had in other places, but sinfully delicious, nonetheless. The appetizer combo for $11 was a surprise. Frankly, I would have described it as "Asian fusion" rather than Thai, but that was hardly a problem. I've had similar combo appetizers in other Thai places for the same amount of money and they hadn't had half the amount of food this one did. I wasn't expecting to see tempura broccoli; and the fried scallops on the stick instead of beef was interesting and tasty. The crab puffs actually had more than cream cheese in it and nothing was greasy, which you'd expect from a plate full of fried food.
Unfortunately, by the time we were done with the appetizers, we had to ask them to pack the entrees to go without even having had a forkful. Back at home a few hours later, however, we dug in and can now report further.
The combo curry is so named, because it comes with three kinds of meat instead of the usual one. You choose the curry color (I chose red and hot). It was indeed spicy, but not enough to drown out the tastes of the meat. Perhaps, I would have wanted a little less sauce; but that didn't ruin anything at all. My partner thought the Penang Peanut quite good.
The restaurant is located in a quiet corner of a mall. We showed up there around 6pm on a Friday and it was not packed. Service was quick and friendly, as well as efficient. The decoration is simple, but doesn't distract from your dining experience.
I must say, that, overall, this restaurant deserves the very positive reviews it's been getting. I am constantly surprised at the quality of restaurants here in Goodyear. You wouldn't expect such skill and service in the middle of nowhere. Then again, with the economy slowly getting better, it may just be that the bullet we dodged five years ago, when they wanted to make Goodyear a metropolis in the desert, may just be boomeranging back and maybe we'll be seeing more such restaurants soon.
Oh, and it doesn't hurt that the place is open til 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays. So nice not to have to drive all the way to "the city" for a late meal, isn't it?
