Short but tasty and reasonably priced menu. I really enjoyed the Crunchy Chicken Lemongrass Salad with a side of Chicken Sate. My son loved the Crispy Chicken Rice with Melon Soup.
People have already said this, but this place is special. The menu is not your typical Thai food menu. Check the menu yourself and you'll see the choices have a lot of unique elements compared to a lot of Thai places. Between my wife and I, we have tried everything. The quality is excellent, the flavor is amazing, and the staff are so nice. You can tell they have put their heart and soul into this place.
Place is sparsely decorated, staff is really nice, food is good (not that great), portion sizes are small for the price. Menu is also pretty limited. Crispy Chicken is okay and boring. It relies heavily on the sweet chili sauce for flavor, but the rice was good. Basil Wagyu is pretty good, and possibly super spicy if you order it with more spice (we ordered it in mild and it was spicy enough for us). Egg on top of rice is a nice touch. Chicken Satay has nice peanut sauce, chicken is a bit dry. Still have room to improve and have high hopes for this place.
Came here for lunch on the weekend for the first time, had a great experience. Their menu offers some variety compared to other typical Thai restaurants.
The pork toro and chicken satay are very tasty, and the accompanying sauces are flavor bombs.
I also had the basil wagyu dish. Its packed with flavor and has a great spiciness to it.
I'll definitely be coming back to try out the other menu items.
This is a gem of a restaurant. I don't know how to judge the authenticity of Thai food but all the dishes here please my palette. When I eat here, I get the feeling that the chef cares about the output a lot because it is clear that good fresh ingredients are used and the food tastes clean and healthy. I particularly like the various sauces which compliment very well the dishes that they accompany. Service is excellent. Plern has become one of the few go-to places when I want to eat out.
