| - I've been wondering about this place for a while. It looks tiny (like a hole in the wall) from the view of this restaurant located in a little low key strip mall. Recently, I got a certificate (for dinner only, 18% gratuity automatically added) on Restaurant.com. We were pleasantly surprised (and we are always looking for a good thai restaurant).
Inside it's much bigger, with a bar on one side, and a stage with a modest dancefloor on the other. Seating is tables and chairs only. There is a little alter as you come to expect- most thai restaurants have an alter of some sort. The decor is framed prints of what appears to be of a group from either the 1960's or 1970's- kinda weird. When you walk in the door, there are filled magazine racks and citylife magazines. There was a flat screen on with the tru tv channel playing.
There was one other party of two ladies who appeared to be family or friends, because our server was sitting with them, visiting, in between assisting us. It was not busy. When we were getting our dinner, a large party came; they had a couple tables put together.
We got an order of rangoons (creamy), won ton soup (more like wor won ton soup- it's excellent plus it's huge- as you may already know, many asian restaurants also serve chinese food- pretty standard), chicken fried rice (thai style, with tomatoes and sliced cucumbers- good size, but missing the fried egg that I love), yellow curry chicken with a bowl of white rice, and two drinks- the bill was $35.93 before the gratuity was added (many of the dishes are reasonably priced). Everything was really good- we order it mild and I add red pepper flakes to mine; I think my husband has found a new favorite for yellow curry (*smiling*).
The service was really good. Our server was attentive (drink refills) and was pleasant. He seemed a little rushed as he tended to the large party but we were nearly done with our dinner, so that was alright. We had leftovers of almost everything BTW.
Besides the modest pricing, there are lunch specials and family dinner specials, so there are even more reasons to eat here. It won't be our last visit. This is why I love finding new places. Oh yeah, the operating hours are pretty long 10 am to 6 am- kinda weird huh?
