I'm usually a fan of pad see ew so I ordered that and a classic pad thai and WOW. This was the best pad thai I have ever had! I've gone to countless thai restaurants and this one knocks it out of the park.
Man this used to be our go to spot for Thai in the valley. First off, not sure why they're still not doing indoor dining, which is a bummer. That aside, the food quality has gone down in the last year or so. Everything here used to taste authentic and fresh. Tonight we ordered our standard chicken pad thai and chicken Rama Thai. These plates used to have very distinct flavors. But tonight they tasted very similar with a reddish gingery sauce on both. Keep in mind the Rama Thai used to be in a light brown, peanut based sauce but that flavor was not present at all tonight. The spinach used to be cooked down and wilted in the sauce but tonight it was like a handful of fresh spinach with the chicken and sauce thrown on top. Just not the same...might give it another shot some day but for now I think we'll pass on our old favorite spot for a while
Good flavor and quantity - even the "mild" was quite spicy for me... nevertheless, good flavor.
The yellow curry and fresh spring rolls are delicious. One of my favorite spots to eat. There is no in door dining when I was last there about a month ago.. not sure if it's still limited to take out.
