| - We literally live down the street, and drive by here at least once daily. Finally tried it tonight, as we were in the mood to go out, and could not agree on anything. This was lucky!
The place is tiny, and eclectic. I love purple, so the walls made me happy. It seems to be part coffee/tea house, and part restaurant.
Our server was incredibly friendly and helpful. She offered suggestions, and answered questions. I asked a lot of questions. The menu is large, and has good descriptions. I've been to other Thai places that were yummy, but this seemed a bit more authentic.
I had a lovely iced tea, which was a nice blend of green and black teas. Refreshing and wonderful. I need to do that at home when I make tea.
I purposely tried things I've never heard of and I was pleased with both choices. I started with a cup (big cup!) of soup. It was Tom Kha Gai, which is a coconut milk soup with chicken (or shrimp), lemongrass, baby corn, mushrooms, and carrots. I cannot fully explain all the flavors happening in that cup of soup. It was creamy, but not heavy. Each spoonful popped with different flavor, and they all complemented each other perfectly. I want that soup again, soon.
My main course was from the specials menu, and had shrimp, carrots, cilantro, some other yummy veggies with ginger and black pepper over mung bean noodles. I'd never heard of a mung bean noodle. Served with a nice lime wedge, which gave the perfect zing. It was also surprising. The ginger was so fresh and perfect, and the mung bean noodles were springy and light. After the soup, I was unable to finish (or barely dent) my meal. I'll enjoy it steamed for breakfast, for sure.
I'm so sorry we never stopped in before. I cannot wait to try more of the menu.
We had a few folks at our table to check on us during the meal. Everyone was wonderful and friendly.
