| - Came in at 12:40 am on Saturday, after trying to go to dragon house which was closed (not apparently 24 hours). I was the only person in there besides the family who runs the joint, kinda weird because it is in a bland strip mall, dark, at this hour. They try to make it more festive with Madonna videos on the tv, but it only made it more awkward.
I saw duck curry, and was really disappointed to find out they didn't have any. Last time I had Thai duck, it was in Santa Cruz, only because everybody got quiet when I asked where the nearest fried chicken joint is (probably only place in the world where you have to ask for the non-vegan menu). In any case, I had the pad thai chicken; now, I have friends that are Thai food snobs, but I'm not one of them, so I thought my plate was pretty decent. I felt like the noodles were drenched in a sweet/spicy sauce, but again, from what I understand this is a standard practice in Thai. I also had the egg rolls which were nice and crisp, but I would have preferred some meat in it.
At the end of the meal, things got really Asian when a regular came in and busted out the Thai karaoke. No stars off the restaurant for the performance.
This is a nice place to stop in if you're in the area and really feeling Thai. The family was nice and polite, but the whole abandoned strip mall thing with the dim lighting was definitely uncomfortable when you're by yourself.
