It had been awhile since I had been back here, but I came back in April 2021, so decided to update my review! Like last time, everything was still tasty and flavorful! They're doing a great job of distancing (there were very few tables inside -- more than 6 ft of distance for sure) and there are also a few tables outside. You can use the QR code or they will give you a paper menu. Our waitress was sweet, and took the time to answer our questions about the menu... which isn't your typical Thai menu.
One thing that has changed due to covid, is that they have a new (smaller) menu, mainly to allow proper distancing by the kitchen staff and taking into account the increasing unavailability of certain ingredients as well as higher prices of some ingredients. This is noted on their website, but I didn't actually notice until I arrived and looked at the menu. I was a bit disappointed to see this since some of my previous favorites were no longer on the menu, but totally understand the rationale.
We ordered:
- Nahm Dok Neua appetizer (grilled flank steak w/ lime based dressing), which the waitress recommended. Flavor explosion!
- Kua Gling - beef in a sauce of galangal, lemongrass, etc. with rice. The waitress also recommended this dish. Very flavorful as well due the lemongrass and galangal but for me, it was a bit too heavy/rich. Still tasty but not my favorite dish.
- Pad thai w/ gulf prawns - so good! Ok, I realize you can get pad thai anywhere, but this one was super good! The prawns were huge and cooked the right amount and were not dry/rubbery at all. The pad thai comes w/ chilis and peanuts on the side and I'm no expert, but it appears pretty authentic, unlike some places where the pad thai is orange from adding ketchup! The noodles were perfectly cooked and overall flavors were on point!
The only minor negatives are that the menu is tad pricier for the portion size, BUT it's still worth it based on the quality and unique dishes served here.
