| - Some friends and I stopped by Tasty Thai for lunch. One of them recently discovered it and suggested it as a nearby option. There are several to choose from in that area and I have been to a couple of others. One thing I liked is the location was close to work and thanks to many of the businesses in the shopping center being out of business; there were plenty of places to park - unlike trying to find a spot at Thai Basil. If I could continue to benchmark against Thai Basil, I felt cramped while seated there, but Tasty Thai was spacious and comfortable. It was also much quieter than other places.
The food arrived very quickly. We each had a lunch special - which consisted of the entrée, rice, Thai spring rolls and soup or salad. The drinks and soup arrived first, but as soon as we finished the egg drop soup, the meal came out. Each ordered something different- I know one was the Pad Gra Prow, which I understood was spicier and more flavorful than other similar restaurants; another ordered the Pad Prik King, and that was tasty as well. A third member of our party went with the Kung Pao from the "More Asian Style" selection, and the fourth person had the Red Curry with Tofu. I ordered the Masaman Curry Chicken - incredible! The flavors of coconut milk and tamarind were present, soft potatoes, onion and a sweet (but not too sweet) curry. It was one of the more flavorful plates I have had at any restaurant.
Based on my initial visit, I will definitely be back. Of the Thai restaurants I have tried in town, this new restaurant tops the list. And, as an added benefit if you live within a 3 mile radius and place a minimum order of $20 - they deliver.
