This review is unlike any I have ever done since it is one more of emotion, bc this wonderful establishment just closed its doors after two years of being open. I am truly going to miss Thai Garden and even the parking lot before walking in the place itself, food presentation and overall flavors of the food brought back awesome Thai Gourmet memories more than any Thai restaurant around. Many Thai cafes have typical styles of Thai food almost mirroring one another. However, both TG I mentioned had authenticity and their own unique touch without tampering recipes if that makes sense. I wish the owners and staff very well on their ventures for being such great people whom truly cared about their customers. Even with the new chef they got in recent months, a few dishes changed some, but were still full of potential as one could tell by their basic prep, sauce texture, noticeable ingredients in entrees and balance of taste profiles too. They were still better than so many of these fake, Americanized and pretending to be authentic at the same time "modern" Thai restaurants all over the city. This place never over-did anything on the extra cream, excess sweetness and so many bagged green beans with their curries like other mediocre to just decent Thai places either. Many of the dishes were 80-90% like Thai Gourmet depending, which was a winner for the true Thai Gourmet fans like myself to name one of many. As for environmental vibe, this spot wasn't too small, too fancy, too casual like fast food or overdone in trendiness. It was cozy, authentic in nature in its own way like the food, great lighting, artistically designed in a calmer fashion, traditional and welcoming all in one. People sometimes way too often prefer crappy places while pretending to know good food. I have read several of those crappy ideas on several negative reviews this place sometimes had in the past. Anyway, Thai Garden will be missed and best of luck to the owners and staff once again. Thank you so much for the borderline Thai Gourmet experiences when they sadly closed, bc even 2 more years brought back was better than nothing.
