  • So the plan for the night was to hit up some mini-golf. I have not been in so long it sounds like allot of fun...and it was! But that's not what this review is about. Before mini-golf we decided to come on yelp and throw a dart against the wall for thai restaurants near by the golfland area. We came across this Thai Buffet & American Sandwiches place and to be honest....the name threw me off. If my date wasn't so persistent about how many 5 stars this place got...I would have kept scrolling down. After reading a few reviews we made up our mind...we were going to try it. One of my buddies tagged along for the ride but had recently ate so was just going to observe. When we pulled up....I honestly didn't know what to think....a hole in the wall with signs up like most of those typical Asian restaurants. I thought "ho hum, this is going to be boring". The time was about 8pm when we showed up and there was only 1 other table sitting down and the buffet area was empty...no food. Perhaps the sign saying close at 9 was wrong? We were greeted by the hostess (who was the owner/chef's daughter) and told that this isn't that kind of buffet place...actually the chef is going to prepare things for us. OK! now you have my attention!. We sat down and were brought soups. I had the beef soup and my date had the chicken soup. I thought both soups were good, but i preferred the beef soup even though my date couldn't stop pointing out that the beef looked like cow tongue. (Which actually I've had and is not bad imo) Joanne (The Chef/Owner) came out and greeted us and told us about her place and took our order from an extensive list of items...some of which will make you scratch your head about as they dont really fit the motif. (Philly cheesesteak sandwhich...umm what? lol) First came the appetizers, we ended up getting Sticky Rice with Peanut sauce (make sure to enunciate the T if you are with immature kids like me at the table), Chicken Satay, Beef Satay and guava salad. Now you may think...mmmm Guava salad sounds so refreshing!!...yeah well before you take a heap of it and slam it down your throat...you may want to think about the fact this is a thai resturant.....that son of a bitch was so damn spicy!!! lol I think we drank like two cups of water each....and it was so good that I kept torturing myself and depleting their water pitchers in the process. For the main course we got the pad-thai and red curry which were both great! I liked the pad-thai better but im partial to it because I freaking LOVE pad-thai. Joanne felt bad for my buddy who wasn't eating, so she brought him out a dish too. Joanne would come out from time to time to chat with us and tell us stories and also talk about the food and it was a great time. I can honestly say that being there was like being in my Grandma's kitchen. She would just make us food and say..."oh try this, oh now this....oh go on...eat that" It felt very warm and I really enjoyed that experience. Dessert came out and it was a bowl with Coconut ice cream, pumpkin tart type of thing and sweet sticky rice. I like coconut but dont adore it....but this ice cream was amazing..I dont know if she makes it herself but it was damn good....the pumpkin thing was delicious and the sweet sticky rice was a good texture combo to mix with the ice cream. All in all, this place gets 5 stars....from the food quality...to the level of service to the Grandma's house type of warmth it puts out....and then you want to talk about value? Lets recap. 3 soups 3 sticks of Satay Sticky Rice w/ peanut sauce Guava Salad Pad-Thai Red Curry Something she brought out that was like a dipping sauce with meat that I dont remember the name of. More sticky rice for that sauce 2 bowls of ice cream 2 pumpkin tarts 2 Sweet Sticky Rice for the ice cream How much?! $7.50 each. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! lol Please Joanne...charge more....I dont want you to close down. Our bill was like 16.50 or something because of the coke my buddy ordered and we ended up tipping like 15$ because we almost felt like we ripped her off at $7.50. Everyone should try this place at least once if you like Thai food, Joanne will give you a memorable experience. Maybe try to go after dinner rush to get a more personal feel. PS: I beat both their butts at Mini-Golf
