| - The more I come here, the more I like it. New management and staff took over in mid-January: wish they'd changed the restaurant name so reviews for previous ownership would be separate. However, keeping the name did allow them to inherit the constant flow of phone orders and takeout from regulars.
POK TAK: Seafood lemongrass soup with shrimp, mussel, squid, catfish, red onion, basil and mushroom infused with lemongrass, lime leaves, and galangal. Shared a hotpot among four diners, everyone enjoyed this.
YEN TA FO NOODLE SOUP: Noodles with fish ball, white mushroom shrimp, squid, fried tofu, spinach with Thai triple delight soup topped with fried wontons and cilantro. BF really liked this, the light citrusy broth was reminiscent of an Asian take on gazpacho.
CRAB FRIED RICE memorable, ample amounts of crab, huge portion. BBQ pork version is not nearly as good. Either can be made Thai-style, adding extra veggies and chili sauce.
PANANG CURRY and GREEN CURRY were both solid, appreciate that they offer brown rice instead of white without an upcharge.
DRUNKEN NOODLES: SO tasty! Generous portion of veggies, less noodles than other versions but palpable freshness. I inhaled this!
PORK & VEGGIE EGG FOO YUNG: Kind of an Americanized version, in that it's a gigantic portion and the egg is actually really crispy. Very vegetable-heavy (in a good way!), would get the seafood version to try next time.
Service continues to improve along with the kitchen execution. Lot is small so you may have to park and walk over from the Sam's lot.
