Bangkok Pad Thai

The food is delicious!!

Happy to see they are finally open, taking the place of Alex Chinese and Grill. I'll really miss Alex, but the new owners were super friendly when I stopped in for a menu, and I wound up ordering some cashew chicken to give them a try. The first thing I noticed was amazing portion size! Easily 3x the meat and cashews of the other new Thai restaurant in the area and it was NOT drowned in sauce/soup. You know what I mean if you've had the other place's cashew chicken.

For now I'm taking one star off because I ordered it medium and it was pretty bland / no heat. I'll have to wait until my next order to see if it was a fluke, or if I need to remember to order a few spice levels above normal at this restaurant. The flavor profile of the sauce was also not as complex or garlicky as the "other place" and almost had a sweetness to it, but it was still very good and I ate way more than I should have...again, the dinner portion was plenty for 2 people to share for $10.95. Can't wait to try a variety of other dishes here.

Bottom line, well worth giving them a shot and welcoming them to the neighborhood.
