Imm Thai Kitchen should be renamed Yumm Thai Kitchen!
I've had my fair share of Thai over the past three decades. I'm not going to go into all the various ones, however, recently it was EAT BKK and now Imm Thai Kitchen.
Thursday night at Imm should be date night. Nothing can compare to the rich wood furniture with accents from their homeland. Beautiful benches flank both sides of the walls, and a wall to wall bar welcomes you to enjoy the night away. Half price wines by the glass or bottle doesn't hurt either.
Shortly after 6PM, the quaint restaurant starts to fill up with hungry patrons. Foodies, first timers, expert travelers, all congregate into a mélange of conversations heard and overheard. Photos taken at every chance, quiet conversation by those who are on their first dates, more certain and confident tones from those who know each other well. Warm lightning provides glows on faces that enhances date night.
Thai food here is elevated with more flavor and kick than a lot of contenders. I can go down the list of thing that I shared with my friends, but that would make for a long review and no one wants that...right? I take your silence as encouragement to continue. :D
The FUUD - yes this is how I am going to spell food when it's off the charts! - was beautifully prepared, plated, and presented.
We enjoyed the Laap Tod, Papaya Salad, Lobster Khao Soi, Pad See Ew, Pad Ka Pao, and Lobster Tom Yum Pad Thai. We also had thai ice tea, dessert, and took advantage of the wine special. I hope I have the items right, must do justice for a fine meal. For those who know what the dishes are, you are going to be IMM for a treat - see what I did there?...clever me....self high-five! ;)
Though everything was fantastic, I usually like to PULL one dish out (you have to see the photos to get this reference) as my fav of the night...The Lobster Khao Soi! Egg Noodles drenched in their homemade golden curry with Lobster and crispy noodles. As a...dare I admit it?...a newbie-ish foodie?...I am always impressed with the inventive and delicious presentations made available to us on a minute-by-minute basis. IMM has to impress as they are located on the ever changing landscape of gastronomic glory that is Little Italy and the College Steet Scene.
Another great find on my never ending need to impress my taste buds and satisfy my hunger for new flavours.
Great company, great fuud, great service, and a great place. Happy weekend everyone!
CHEERS!!!
