My son and I moved to Charlotte just over a year ago. I was on a Pad Thai kick right before we moved so when we arrived needless to say I was immediately in search of a new place. My son prefers Chinese dishes, so when I saw that Blue Thai (now Thai 1st) had fried rice and Pad Thai we had to try it. We were not disappointed. The decor is simple and modern with low light and some asian decor. It is a small restaurant, but we never have trouble getting in and the service is fast. Our servers have always been knowledgable and fast. Now to the food!
The fried spring rolls are great. I prefer the spring rolls to the egg roll wrappers so that was a major plus for me. They are rolled tight and are vegetarian, which is also a plus. The sauce that it comes with is sweet and spicy and really good. The first time we went I got the Chicken Pad Thai and my son got the Beef Fried Rice. You can add heat to either dish so I got mild and he got medium. The mild was almost perfect, but might be a little too hot for those not used to it.
The pad thai had a good amount of meat and vegetables and lots of pad thai flavor. I like mine extra peanut-y so I always get a side of peanut sauce, but it really is good without it. You get a decent portion too, so it could almost be two meals for a light eater.
The beef fried rice was so good I started getting that along with my son on future visits. Lots of beef, fried nicely and seasoned!
We've also had the chicken skewers and Pad Prik - again both great.
Overall a great place and the only down-side is they don't deliver!
