So yummy! One of our easy local favs

Mom brought us here after she tried it last month, said she wanted me to try this new place (new to us).

We're Thai (born in Thailand) and have a long history with restaurants including working several Thai places and patronizing many more all over the world. In our family eating Thai food is well beyond an Olympic sport. So when she says good things about a Thai restaurant, I pay attention.

We started with Green Tea. Mom had Thai tea which I normally don't like but this was very good. She agreed it's one of her favorite renditions. Not too sweet.

Dragon lemon garnish.
As little as this seems it's important to me. Thai garnishes are known for adding colorful creative detail. It means their food presentation is important and as mom said a few times, they must have an experienced Thai cook.

The Spring Roll - tight roll finely chopped. Another good sign of an experienced hand in the kitchen.

They seemed to be caught off guard with today's lunch rush so I won't hold service being stretched a little thin against them. It happens. Service was fine, polite, personable. The waiter took the time to have a full conversation in Thai about dishes he wanted. But it was still not exceptional on this visit.

Everyone's food was pretty good. The calamari/seafood salad was exceptionally good.

I didn't like the green curry at all. It was way too sweet and thin for me and doesn't taste like the green curry I crave to try at every Thai place I go to. It's like the burger test or fry test for American restaurants. Someone that's never had green curry anywhere else might enjoy it. But I wouldn't.

Drunken noodles had a great flavor and nice heat (I asked for Thai hot) but I think the sauce fell victim to the lunch pop. It was slightly on the dried, clumpy side, maybe a little too long on the heat.

Thai restaurants aren't known for their consistency so it'll be interesting to go back. Def getting the calomari/seafood salad and something new next time.

Not bad not great but it does the trick for Thai style food, could be better
