| - This is by far the best Thai resaurant I've found in the valley.
I like that this place is family-operated. We always go during lunch when its near empty and get waited on hand and foot. The waitstaff talks to us like we're friends, not customers.
We always order panang. The panang is, as my friend puts it, "to die for." She gets chicken panang, I get the tofu panang. Either way, all you're really going for is the sauce. One day we'll grow the balls to just ask for panang sauce and a couple straws.
We also order tom yum to start, nam tok (beef salad), and I get my standard green curry and sticky rice. Green curry is my favorite Thai dish ever, but Komol's is pretty lackluster. But everything else is always really good. My friend told me you're supposed to make little balls with the sticky rice and sop up the juices.
The last time I went they were pushing Moonstone Coconut Lemongrass sake. They sell it $7.50 for a half bottle. It tastes mostly like coconut milk + nigori sake. The lemongrass, I caught more aromatically and at the end of the taste. It was really good.
Komol is located in the Commercial Center, sparsely populated with small businesses, including an Asian (Korean) market. I go there for some dessert mochi.
