Sad that we need to drive out of our neighborhood for really good Thai food. Good for Marlton/Cherry Hill to have two Bhan Thai restaurants.
The host was so friendly when we first called to inquire about indoor seating and social distanced tables, upon which we made Saturday evening reservations, and even friendly when we called back on Saturday to change to mid-day reservations since we were ahead of schedule. Hence what we like to call a linner (late lunch - early dinner) meal.
Parked right out front, lovely new space, lovely design and welcoming. Upon arrival we were greeted at the door and shown right to a table a table each away from two others, hence distanced. Table setting was lovely, paper menus ready.
Upon first review of the extensive menu we my wife and I aligned on two appetizer dishes, chicken curry puff (puff pastry stuffed with ground chicken powder, potatoes and onions severed with a cucumber relish. Shaped like a mini Mexican empanada, flaky with a lovely taste complemented by the cucumber relish.
Our second appetizer was the shrimp dumplings, Thais Sui Mai steamed dumpling shrimp, crabmeat, black mushrooms and scallions served with a Shoyu homemade soy sauce. Fabulous taste, delicate, a hint of sweetness due to the homemade soy sauce.
Both, lovely plated presentations.
We shared two dishes from the entrees menu, the red curry, made mild (needed a hint of flavor) with chicken. Served in a bowl, lovely presentation, nice flavor. Our only oops, hence why not a 5 star review, the chicken pieces were too firm, not tender, we ended up bringing the dish home but only if we were hungry later which we weren't.
Our second dish was the Pad Khing with shrimp, this dish was a hit. Sautéed with fresh ginger zucchini, snow peas, mushrooms, bell peppers, scallions and onions. Very nice flavor, all fresh ingredients, the vegetables glimmered under the light, so thoughtfully julienned.
Super clean, staff was super friendly and attentive.
We will be back to try some other dishes.
