This place has not been crowded the 3 times I've eaten there. But it should be! Slow down to savor the nuanced flavors & fresh, fresh, fresh ingredients! My uncle owned an award-winning Asian restaurant, so my taste buds are fine-tuned to Asian fare.
Chef Eddie suggested the Pla Rad Prik, and we just ordered it for the 3rd time! Tilapia surrounded by a very light, slightly crispy batter, with artfully arranged veggies and delicate, fragrant tamarind sauce -- not over-thickened or too salty like at many Asian restaurants. Also, the tofu Lad Na, tofu string beans and vegetable spring rolls are winners.
Can't wait to try the banana eggroll with chocolate sauce and sticky rice dessert next time if I can restrain from getting stuffed on the yummy main dishes! Maybe meeting a friend just for dessert might work?
RUN, don't walk, to grab a quiet seat or phone in a carry out here! Quiet enough for cozy conversation. It's away from the Coventry parking meter headaches, too, as there's a free lot around back.
I like the casual vibe, with plain ( no tablecloths) wooden tables topped with small vase with a flower floating on water. A small candle at each table, Thai music and no TV at the bar would add romance to the atmosphere!
