I was looking for a nice place for dinner on the East side. A friend suggested Peppermint Thai. I'm not a frequent Thai eater, but I'm an adventurous eater and like Asian in general, so ok, let's go. Peppermint Thai delivered.
It's located in an upscale strip mall with a big parking lot in front.
The dining room was pretty crowded when we arrived about 7:30 on a Wednesday evening. We were seated quickly and the server came round fast asking for a drink order. The menu is pretty extensive and has excellent descriptions. I have to admit a lot of them sounded very good. We started by sharing chicken satay. It was well prepared with two different sauces. Then we each had entree items from the "Signature dishes" list. They both arrived together very quickly. My friend ordered mango curry and I ordered chili duck. The mango curry had chicken and shrimp. It was not too sweet nor too spicy. The duck was boneless with crispy skin and well prepared. The sauce was only mildly spicy which is nice because we were sharing and that's what my friend preferred.
I would recommend this place to someone who doesn't really know about Thai food and wants to try it. It was clean and the service was fast with a very easy to decipher menu. And hey, it's P.W.s "go to" Thai place.
