| - Fantastic Flavors, service, and price! I am no stranger to settling for mediocre food at a moment of weakness onset by the growls of one's insides, however what was to be a quick bite at a unremarkable strip mall turned out to be a pleasant surprise! It seems nowadays if an Asian restaurant can pull off a half way decent "orange-Meat o'choice" dish that they can float by in the world of economic Asian cuisine. I exhaustively disagree (despite how much I may love crunchy deep fried tidbits of meat drowned in sticky sweet sauce) and Sakun Thai is a perfect example of what I would like to expect from such a restaurant.
The food was flavorful and packed with great fresh ingredients. I was most surprised by the Hot and Sour soup which was full of great bits of vegetables, mushrooms, and a small kick of chili heat. There's some love that went into making the soup and you can taste it! I was in for lunch so the rest of the lunch special came with an egg roll and crispy wonton which were nothing to "Yelp" about, however the red curry was exactly what I hoped for. Nothing fancy, just done right, with the heat level I asked for. The red curry primarily contained chicken and bamboo shoots which I ate over rice and enjoyed thoroughly.
If you are looking for casual Asian dining, friendly service, good prices (between $6-10/per person), and most importantly flavorful food, check out Sakun Thai.
