| - They have a small lunch menu here but the choices all sound delicious...Chiang Mai Beef Noodle Soup, Massaman with Braised Beef and Rice, Thai Omelette with Ground Pork and Rice, and Khao Soi to name a few. Also not the typical choices you have at most Thai restaurants, which is a nice change of pace. It's like a menu of Thai comfort food.
For my first time here, I dined in. A couple of my friends ordered the Tom Yum soup and raved about it. It looked pretty good loaded with shrimps, mushrooms and whatnots. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and she said everything is good but one of her favorites is the Pad Gra Prow. After going with that, I decided I could dine here every day and did so for the next 3 days. I'm hesitant to order the pad Thai because I tried a bite of my friend's pad Thai and didn't like it (soggy and bland).
Pad Gra Prow (pork with basil) with Fried Egg ($12) - One of my favorite dishes in Thailand but is rarely done right elsewhere. However, they did it very right here, top notch. The flavors were authentic (could be saltier as it was on the sweet side) and delicious! It even came with a side of chili fish sauce (prik nam pla!), which was not needed, but was nice to be offered. The pork was minced to perfection. The portion of rice given was also spot on.
Thai Omelette with ground pork and rice $12 was absolutely tasty. This is not your traditional omelette as it was deep fried scramble eggs. It had ground pork but it also had dried shredded pork (moo yong), which I haven't had in the longest time. There were also basil, onion and red pepper that added to the great flavor of this dish.
Massaman with Braised Beef and Rice $12 - If you're in the mood for coconut based red curry, tender beef, and potatoes, you'll like this dish. There are also onions and peanuts in here which I really enjoyed.
Thai chicken fried rice $11 - It was ok, kinda plain. I got it as a takeout and it could have used some fish sauce. Unfortunately, I didn't have any at the office. Where's the prik nam pla when I needed it?
Small Tom Yum Soup $5 - This soups is pretty good. I got it medium spicy and it was just the right amount of spiciness. There were 2 jumbo shrimps in the soup.
Thai Ice Tea ($4.50) - They didn't have Thai ice coffee, so I went with this. It's a bit more expensive than other places, but they do give you a big cup of it.
Mango and sticky rice $8 - One of my favorite Thai desserts. It was good here, but not quite $8 good. I'll can go to Sabai Sabai for my Thai dessert fix for $5.
The service was friendly. The décor is nice and gives the place a Thai ambience and not just Thai themed. The take out counter is in the back towards the kitchen. They take credit cards, including American Express.
I read that the owners are also part owners of Sukho Thai and consultants at Sabai Sabai and used to be associated with Khao San Road.
