| - So after a Glorious Day in the sun and hitting up some of the Vegas pools...my roomie his girl and myself defintly had the munchies...we were sitting in the car exiting Encore trying to decide what we wanted and I was like..."Dude I always see you bringing takeout from that Thai place...I've never been, lets go!!!"...Awesome Thai Style Noodle House it was!
Going into the place I knew beforehand it was kind of a hole in the wall kinda joint...small and cozy, it was about what I had expected...about room enough to hold 25-30ish peeps at a time betwen different 2 seaters, 4 seaters, that could be pushed together to hold more (like a 10group that was chowing down as we entered)...1st things that hit me were the smell, and I automatically saw how big the soup bowls were from the 10group...YUM!!!....My mouth had allready started watering!!! HAHA
Started looking at the Trifold menu...and my sillyass spread my arms out wide, put my hands across everyones menu's n was like....I don't care what we get...DUDE!!!...whats the name of the cocunut spicy soup cuz we are SO getting that!!!...(Tom Kha)...Mmmmmm!!!
Between the 3 of us we had a Huge Bowl of Tom Kha (medium), Duck Fried Rice, Pad Thai, and Mongolian Beef w/ Rice... (all for $35 w/ tip mind you!!!....)
Before I start all I am going to caveat with is the fact that we ate around 6...it is 1am and I just woke from my Food Coma!!!
Portions were Big!!! Usually I like everything spicy spicy!...we order the Tom Kha medium, and it was a perfect blend of keeping all the flavor without being overpowered...Medium is a good hoice is someone can't handle spicy well as was in our case, De-Ri-Cious!!!
The Duck Fried rice was over the top...again great portion size and you could see the large cuts of duck in there, YUMMM!!!
Pad Thai (combo)...portion size was a lil smaller then the previous 2 but totally adequete...great taste
Not gonna lie, Mongolian Beef was tasty, but nothing to rave about like the previous ones...
ok, without even meaning to I totally just listed those in order from: Totally Yummy!!!...to...it was allright...haha!
Forgot to mention the service, service was quick and the waitress didn't lollygag at welcoming us or taking our orders! Water glasses were allways filled...and trust me we were sucking it down (so to speak) after a day in the sun. I know next time I will totally have to order the Thai Tea.....you could see these large, almost beer mug looking tea's being passed around, but yea....I was totally craving water at that point, LOL
So overall, food wise, 5 STARS!!!....I ALMOST took it down a star, cuz yea if your looking for the ambiance and the cheeze of chinatown this may not be your spot, go into it knowing it's a holeinthewall, but with that also comes the best food and the best service!!! Hell I hear during lunchtime it's packed so that has to speak volumes right...and plus for all that food it was only $30 +tip!!! (AWESOME prices, totally took it back up to 5 stars!)
Too far from my work to make it for lunch, but if you ever see a guy in late afternoon/night wearing a uniform, know thats me coming home from Nellis craving some soul food to satisfy the tummy!!! ^_^
