| - For me, this place teeters between 3-stars to 4.
Not the best thai in town. Not really sure to impress, but it's decent. I come here mainly for their lunch specials (Until 3PM daily I believe?). $6.95 for small salad, small soup, and you get to choose from their list of entrees like curry, pad thai, mongolian beef, and regular vegetable plate.
Don't expect dinner-sized portions here for lunch! Portion control is pretty awesome here.
Their penang curry is decent. Not the best I've had, but it feels like a home-cooked meal at my mom's house. My spicyness levels for my curry always come out just right. Flavorful. Lately, the lunch special one has been a bit smaller than normal though...
The vegetable dishes are a miss for me. Lean, cook pork slices with broccoli, chinese cabbage, and carrots are healthy and perfect for the dieters or light lunch crowd. But it's bland, boring. Again, reminds me of good home-cooking of a classic, ubiquitous asian dish. These dishes are not really meant for customers to be blown away or to be ordered to be 'wowed'. It's honest offerings of a culture.
The service is pretty good! They always come back to check up on you and refill your drinks. I'm a total water-drinking fiend when it comes to the curry. I'm a total bitch when it comes to spicy foods.
I always leave pleasantly full after lunch here. It's so close to everywhere I need to go. It helps that my food always comes out in a flash when I'm in a rush. I haven't seen this place super busy because I've always come at the tail end of lunch rush (right when lunch specials is about to end at 3pm). But, I've heard this place does get super packed from the people in the medical offices nearby. I'd rather spend money here than fast food.
Quick, convenient, the prices are unbeatable for what the food is. I've liked the food here, but some dishes are hit-or-miss. Definitely not a place to impress that cute copy chick you've been waiting to ask out on a date. But, maybe after you make her your girlfriend and you guys just want to order cheap thai takeout and chill out all night watching Game of Thrones reruns. Pad Thai is perfect for that, and that's okay.
