First off, this place is located next to strip clubs, behind the Las Vegas Strip - so when my beloved Siri told me to take a turn into this plaza, I was almost about to take a U-turn.
But...this place has raging reviews & was the only thai that is open until 4 am (...and now we know why ;)) so I set aside my differences and went inside.
TOTALLY different vibe inside. Wooden tables, artistic decorations, clean bathrooms and FAMILIES sitting inside enjoying their meal. My sister and I ended up ordering the following:
1. Crab Rangoons
*appetizer* This came in an order of 6...and it was pretty on par with other thai restaurants. Nothing too extravagant, and definitely nothing that made you turn back and wish you never looked again.
2. Papaya Salad
This type of salad is my MAIN. Shredded green papaya, green beans, little dried shrimp, and peanuts PLUS spice level 7.....mmmmm good. However, some of the shrimp were WAY too dried, and during one bite, I thought for some odd reason I was chewing a stone. I hope I didn't lose a filling, but here's to hoping I never have to find out.
3. Pad See Ew
My sister ordered this dish but with fried tofu - as stated earlier, it was on par (my sister likes her spice to be as low as possible, so this didn't have the thai flavor I usually crave) - but I'll blame that on my sister's taste buds and not on the restaurant.
Overall, pretty damn good place. There's a lot more I'd like to come back and try - preferably during daylight hours, but it puts my heart to ease knowing that I can come in at 3 am and still be given good service & food.
