I think Thai food is quickly becoming my favorite ethnic cuisine, as every time I see a Thai restaurant I always look forward to dining there. I've driven past Benjarong dozens of times, and only finally decided to try it out after a recommendation from a friend of mine who had a positive experience there.
At the time of this review, I have dined there twice, once for take-out and once for lunch. First off, I'd like to say that the service is on par with many other Thai joints, friendly and attentive. I think it'll be hard to find bad service at any given Thai restaurant because I've noticed that Thai people are very friendly in general.
The food however, was slightly disappointing. Not that it was bad, it just didn't live up to my expectations. Food was average and the service was actually above average. I came here during lunch time and opted for a lunch special. I had the Spicy & Sweet Basil Beef. The portions were decent and the food was presented quite pleasantly.
In the end I was satisfied with my dining experience, but nothing more. But I must admit if I lived within a mile of this place this would be a local go-to Thai spot. Despite my review, this friendly neighborhood restaurant is worth checking out at least once.
