We went to Deejai Thai last weekend in search of a flavorful dinner and they were able to provide exactly what we were looking for.
We decided to sit outside to enjoy the lovely NC spring weather in their side patio - and we were both impressed on how much they had done to make their little space relaxing and elegant. Our drinks came in trendy mason jars, and my Thai iced tea was the perfect drink to enjoy outside!
We started with the Jeeb Sai Moo / Curry Pot Sticker, which was served in a light curry sauce, but there wasn't much seasoning on the filling of the pot stickers, which was disappointing.
My main dish Pad Kra Prao/spicy Basil chicken was fantastic! The portion that came out was more than filling for dinner and lunch the next day. The menu listed this item as "spicy level 3" but there was more basil flavor than spice. My only complaint with the dish was the half shallot randomly in with the ground chicken and other chopped vegetables. My boyfriend ordered the green curry, which he said he is often unable to find at Thai restaurants in Charlotte. We will definitely return to sample more items off of their menu.
I would also recommend this location for those unfamiliar with Thai food, since the menu has extensive explanations for each item and their descriptions are full of personality making for an interesting read. For example the Pad Prik is described as "oooooh! this is so spicy and healthy that there must be some mistake because the flavor is awesome."
