We enjoyed the opportunity to check out another local Thai restaurant in Tempe. ASU is out for the Holiday break, so everyone in Tempe needs the business. That was true here too! We arrived around 530 on a Friday night and we were the only ones there the whole time. I ordered the combo appetizer platter ($12.95) for my entree, asking for peanut sauce in addition to the sweet and sour sauce that comes with it. It cost an extra dollar, but it was worth it to me for the ability to vary the flavors. It said it was a light batter and that was true. Everything on the platter was done perfectly. My partner got a smaller portion of the Tom Kha soup (5.95). I tasted it and it was tart-er than I like and thinner. But the overall taste was A-OK and appreciated by my partner (but the flavors of the soup were not addicting like some others are). The other entree chosen was Sweet and Sour Pork and that was good and wasn't too hot. The service was fine and the server filled our water every time when needed. I wasn't really in the mood to try the curries. Funny ain't it? I really wished for a curry sampler... something I've never seen anywhere, probably an absurd thing to ask for... (and I didn't ask for it). Wouldn't that be great, to be able to try 4 different curries, to be able to find one you really like? OH WAIT! That's called having 4 people at the table ordering one of each!!! What a concept! LOL Yeah I crack myself up sometimes. Anyway, back to the review...
I am really really glad I went to try Tasty Thai out. I might try them again to see if I like Yellow Curry or Pumpkin Curry. My partner isn't really interested in going back. Too bad it didn't pass our Tom Kha test.
