Thai 5 is like a reliable friend and a solid lover all at once. As a Thai enthusiast, I regularly choose between T5 and Bangkok Thai to meet my Thai curry needs. But where Thai 5 edges out the competition is their sushi. It's unique for a Thai restaurant to offer such a deep assortment, and every roll I've had has been super fresh and tasty.
I eat here at least twice a month and it's one of the few places I eat the same thing every time. But you know what they say, if it ain't broke, don't break it.
So boom, here are my fail-proof recommendations, which are available on the lunch and dinner menus:
Apps:
Cheese rolls
Dragon Roll
Tom Yum Soup
Entrees:
Panang Curry (make it spicy!)
Pad Thai
Khao Soi ********
- I tried this dish on a whim because I wanted noodles AND curry one day. Hands down my favorite dish here, listed as a special, I will protest if they ever remove it. This curry is deep, creamy, and has a cozy spice level. There are so many interesting flavors, from the cilantro to the raw red onion - everything melds together perfectly! Try this if you're feeling adventurous or need comfort food that has a little bit of everything!
Beverages:
My cocktails have never been strong enough here, so I always go with either the Thai Ice Tea or Coffee. (The tea is the standout!)
We've done mostly takeout this year, but eating indoors here is cool - no frills, you won't find much ambience, but the service is always fast and the food is always good.
Enjoy!
