Tried DA’s Thai Cuisine for pickup and had a little bit of a mixed experience.
First things first — the place itself is nice, clean, and the staff is personable. No complaints there. Ordering and pickup were smooth.
Now let’s talk food.
The deep-fried egg rolls (stuffed with carrots, cabbage, and clear bean noodles, served with sweet and sour sauce) were really good. Crispy, hot, and flavorful. Solid start.
The steamed dumplings? Now those were the star of the show. Made with pork, shrimp, crab meat, green onions, and carrots — and served with their special sauce. That sauce paired perfectly with the dumplings. Balanced, flavorful, and just worked. Out of everything we ordered, this was the clear home run.
I also ordered what I believed to be the Thai papaya salad. From what I can tell comparing ingredients, I did receive the Thai-style version (shredded papaya, garlic, fish sauce, tomatoes, lime juice, palm sugar, topped with peanuts). Unfortunately, I was not impressed. I’ve had papaya salad at other Thai spots where the peanuts are roasted and really incorporated into the dish. Here, it felt like the peanuts were just tossed in at the end. The overall flavor just didn’t come together, and I wouldn’t order that again.
My husband had the Thai fried rice (his second time ordering it), and he thoroughly enjoys it — so that’s a win on his side.
For me, out of the egg rolls, papaya salad, and steamed dumplings — the dumplings were the only real standout.
Would I go back? Probably not. But that’s just my experience — don’t let me be the deciding factor. Give it a try and see what hits for you.
