| - In sum, the food here is mind-blowing and simply to die for...if eaten as a take-out or to eat in person via a reservation only methinks. I prefer the former, I get a little claustrophobic sitting that close to complete strangers.
We are fortunate, us Pix'burgers to have a nice selection of Thai restaurants in the area. That being said this is the uncontested winner in my book. The servers are great, friendly, welcoming- it seems everyone enjoys working there. That is an excellent framework for any successful business. The parking can be rough, it is on Bryant Street. Any given weekend can make this messy. Best to use the buddy system. I call ahead for take-out, me husband drives a few laps around if his double parked car becomes an issue... I run in and grab the goods.
I ordered the Moo Yang for our starter. Grilled and mouth-watering, slightly smoky and sweetly marinated pork served on a bed of lovely greens. A nice pile of sticky rice to boot. Did I mention the dipping sauce? Not that the pork needs it, but seriously what is in this spicy plum sauce? I want to ask for extra next time and eat it with a spoon. Then again I am obsessed with dips, sauces and the like. If you are not- you are missing out! Nevertheless, the pork can stand on its own.
Soup. Oh dear. I am quite the sucker for coconut based broths. Let me tell you that the Tom Kha Soup is a pure creamy decadence of nirvana. I cannot say enough good things about this soup in general and especially their preparation of it. They obviously use a decent coconut milk. I honestly can say I can tell the difference. Moreover, the ginger or should I say the galangal the "kha" of the soup brings that sweet and zesty twist that complements the coconut milk fondly. A bit of mushroom, a hint of lemongrass, a splash of lime juice, and a dash of red chili paste (methinks) merry well together especially when one chooses to add the shrimp. I think non-shrimp eaters would like that one can add chicken, beef or tofu. But the shrimp, juicy medium sized scrimps! Love it.
I have a confession to make...I am that Thai-food customer...but it is okay- I can admit it...I love Shrimp Pad Thai. I order it every time I eat Thai food.
I know, I know. I cannot believe I am writing this in a such a public forum. I feel like I need to attend some sort of addiction group. "Hi, my name is Jordana and I cannot resist ordering the same Thai entree every time we go out for Thai." Nothing is more run-of-the-mill than Shrimp Pad Thai. In that essence, I am not a daring food critic of sorts. But- I promise the next time I order a Thai entree I will go outside of my Pad-Thai comfort zone and share all the details with everyone. Nevertheless, their Shrimp Pad Thai is the best in the city! After all-who would know better than I the purported amateur Shrimp Pad Thai eater =)
Enjoy the food, I know you will =)
