| - This is my favorite place to eat for lunch in the entire city. I go here at least once a week and most recently went here three times in one week. It is located on a non-busy side of town on Penn Avenue right past Pizza Parma. Inside there are gorgeous pictures and a dimmed lights atmosphere perfect for a date or a lunch gathering. I go here with friends and even by myself. Most of the lunch meals are under $9.00 and they include your choice of a house salad that has a unique pineapple flavored dressing or chicken & rice soup which is always extrememly hot and tasty. The server staff is excellent and very quick in bringing out your food. As soon as my order is taken my salad or soup is immediately brought out and once I finish that here comes my entree.
Onto the entree selections. I typically try and get something new here, but my very favorite is the Beef Phad Phet with a 9 spice level. I typically get between a 7 and a 9 depending on the day, but the spice levels go up to a 20 so if you like spicy flavors this place is for you. This dish includes beef, garlic, bell peppers, green beans, carrots, onions, thai basil and an incredible spicy chili sauce with rice on the side. i have also gotten the Spicy green beans, Spicy peanut, Jalepeno, and the Red Curry which are all amazing. My friend really likes the Green curry. I might try that once next time. You have the option of choosing chicken, pork, beef, shrimp, vegetable, duck or tofu. I like the beef the best and like the chicken with my curry.
I am always full when I leave this place and you cannot beat the prices or the quality of the food anywhere. I would recommend to make dinner reservations or if you go for lunch to go either at 11:00 or 1:30. I like to go at 1:30 because it is not crowded when I arrive and even less crowded by the time I finish up and leave the restaurant.
Bottom Line: Seriously give this place a try. Even if you don't like spicy food it is all excellent.
