I had the best coconut chicken curry in my life at Khmer Thai!
My sister who came for dinner with me that night, (a world traveler and diner) also agrees the red curry flavour is subtle with distinct character, it is not overpowering. I found it interesting that straight coconut milk is poured over the dish giving that velvety smooth texture. The chicken breast was cut into finger strips and the dish is served with a side of rice that compliments the curry perfectly. The fragrance, the taste, was oh so delicious I can eat Phanaeng Kai for a week straight. :)
Atmosphere is casual dining affair; restaurant layout is fairly basic. Tables for four surround the counter/ kitchen. There's a big painted mural of a village scene, cactus at the window sill and the only missing was the humidity for a full Thai/Cambodian experience. :)
Seems to be a popular take out establishment with many regulars patrons picking up and having a quick chat with the staff.
Service is diner style. Order at the counter, pay at the counter dealio. Don't go in expecting someone to wait on you hand and foot. Come here for the food.
When I went up to pay I peered over to the kitchen and saw this 5 foot nothing older Asian lady cooking behind the scenes. Aha! that confirmed my suspicion.. this stuff authentic.
Recommend!
