If you're looking for a date night spot I can genuinely recommend coming to Thai House Restaurant. I came with my date on a whim since the other place we wanted to eat was closed. It is in a cozy little corner of the town so it can be a bit easy to miss. The inside is ornate with decorations (reminded me of my trips to art museums and wondering through the Asian art sections!), and very intimate seating with you and other patrons.
On to the foodies: Started with an a chicken satay. I thought it would be colored in peanut sauce (I'm a sauce fan 1000%) but it was presented as grilled chicken on a stick. Peanut sauce on the side, and a sweet clear glaze to also dip into. A sweet roll underneath the chicken that was grilled also. This app was pretty tasty though I would definitely try something else next time, personally.
Pad Thai with squid was what my date got. He enjoyed it for what it was though it was a bit on the smaller side. I had a few bites and I thought it was subpar. The squid was a both dry and chewy, the pad Thai didn't have much sauce or flavoring to distinguish it from other pad thais.
Kang lychee ped: the star of the show. When this came out I was giddy with joy. I knew from the looks and smell I was going to had a fantastic time savoring this dish. The sauce was so creamy, so sweet with a contrast of slight spiciness that hit the back of my throat once I swallowed the sauce. I wanted to drink this-- luckily it came with some white rice so that soaked up all the flavor. There was plantains (not my personal favorite but my date ate them and said they were very good), spicy peppers, tomatoes, pineapple chucks; and my very favorite, lychee!! I love the sauce covering the sweet lychee and once I ate it: pure bliss. The duck itself was crispy on the outside, delivering that satisfying crunchy bite while being tender and fatty where it counted for the best eating experience. I didn't want to share but of course, my date some some bites and he wishes he got that instead.
Lastly, I got a lychee juice that was very underwhelming. I am a massive lychee fan especially the drinks that come with a strong flavor and sweetness from the fruit. This lychee juice felt watered down and very weak tasting, I was so disappointed--more so since it was $5 dollars and lackluster.
The service was pretty good, the waiter was attentive enough with refilling water glasses. Though a bit awkward when it came to taking our orders, like he wasn't too sure in what we were getting. Also had no recommendations which I usually enjoy when dining out. Small note: the menus are pretty obtuse in size, while the tables are small so it was strange that the waiter didn't take the menu after we were done ordering our entrees.
Thai House Restaurant: good if you want some duck, everything else seems a bit iffy. I only rated it with four stars because of the duck read more
