Taste of Thai

After reading the other great reviews, we thought we would give it a try. It was out of our way and expectations were high. The restaurant is located in a strip mall, so we were surprised that the inside was as nice as it was. Our waitress was very nice. There was only one other customer there other than us. We ordered one lunch special, which was Pad Thai with Chicken, and a single entree, Beef Lar Nar. The lunch entree came with a tiny cup of very plain soup broth with a few grains or rice and a few bits of ground chicken. The egg roll was very small with more dough than filling, and the inside was mushy and rather tasteless. It was disappointing. Thai appetizers are usually outstanding, even from a mediocre place. The Pad Thai was awful. Rather than being chewy, the noodles were precooked and reheated, which made them absolute mush. The seasoning wasn't bad, but the texture was awful. The chicken was so rubbery, I didn't want to eat it. The Lard Nar used broccoli rather than the expected broccoli rabe or Chinese broccoli, which changed the taste and texture. The beef was chewy. The sauce was flavorful, but not as nuanced as we were used to. Lastly, it was served in a big bowl,

A small restaurant with a few tables. Clean and staff is polite and friendly. They recommended a variety of dishes. We ordered the Tum Yum Chicken soup, orange chicken w/ jasmine rice, crazy noodle beef, and green curry beef w/ jasmine rice. All the dishes were delicious and flavorful. The staff will accommodate your spice level. Light medium, high or extra. All meat and chicken is Halal.

Went for a family dinner. Located in a strip center - clean but small interior, wonderful service. We arrived around 8 and were rushed into ordering hurried out toward the end as the restaurant closes at 9 PM - just factor that into your plans. The menu was extensive - food arrived promptly and seemed freshly made. Ordered Taste of Thai platter as appetizer (spring rolls, fried rolls, crab meat fritters, shrimp, etc.) - good start to the entrees age easily fed the 7 of us. Mains/Entrees easily accommodated the vegetarians/vegans among us and consisted of Thai Tofu Panang and Red Curries, Thai Basil and Chicken Fried Rice orders, Vegan Spicy Noodles, Chicken Pad Thai, etc. Portions were plentiful, however the Curries lacked depth and flavor. Spice levels were customized from mild to fresh chopped Thai chilis on the side. Dessert was Mango Sticky Rice - nice and not too sweet. Overall, a satisfactory experience, although not something to be amazed about. Again, flavors were too muted - a pity, really. Staff were very friendly and solicitous. The entire meal for 7 persons (no drinks, but with taxes and generous tip) cost approximately $170 - quite reasonable in this day and age.

I liked this place a lot! the noodles had a good amount of sauce and were really tasty. the apps (specifically the crab rangoons and curry puffs) also slapped; the chicken satay was decent, chicken was okay but the peanut sauce helped a lot. what made the experience great was that our server was so incredibly nice and helpful. overall, while some of the food items were only okay, the noodles, apps, drinks, and service were great, so I'd recommend this place.
