I asked while pointing to my Pixel Wings, "Are these wings double-fried?"…read more My waiter gave an emphatic, "Yes!" The Pixel Wings were deeply golden, with crunchy ridges that were audibly crisp. The chicken wings were adorably small, but every wing was crunch-worthy, with tender, juicy meat inside. Paired with the bright, chili-flecked house sauce, this small plate left a big impression! This was the second time my husband and I visited Must Be Thai. The other times we attempted to come here, the restaurant was packed, and we had to go somewhere else. This time, we found a nice window of opportunity for a Monday lunch. I enjoy this restaurant because it has a unique way of organizing its menu, emphasizing the regions of Thailand from which the dishes originate. It encouraged my husband and me to explore something new on the menu, as though we were traveling to that region ourselves. Besides the Pixel Wings, we traveled to Southeast Thailand to try The Ex Rockfish. The presentation was wonderfully dramatic. The whole rockfish arrived opened and deep-fried, curving around the bowl while a colorful tumble of buttery pieces of fish and peppers filled the center. A zesty green dipping sauce was also provided to cut through the richness of the dish. Pair that with a bowl of jasmine rice and some Thai iced tea and *chef's kiss*. This was a dish we had never tried before, and I'm glad our waitress recommended it! Another thing I enjoy about this restaurant is the youthful cheekiness of its ambiance. The dining room has a playful, urban-industrial aesthetic softened by warm wood and light colors. It feels both relaxing and energetic. The mural boasts a chaotic depiction of what appears to be a tuk-tuk and Godzilla fighting off some durian. The menu has a similar vibe. Despite all this playfulness, they don't mess around when it comes to food quality. Friendly service, great food, and a fun ambiance - we'll be coming back for more!

Fresh spring rolls with shrimp we're served instantly which is always a sign they've been prepared and sitting in the fridge therefore clear wrap is hard and not soft as it should be. Patay with chicken okay but lacked in flavor. Tom yum fried rice extremely salty. In fact I couldn't eat it. The shrimp and calamari in it were okay and not salty like the rice. I ate here 2 years ago and wasn't impressed then, but my friend wanted to go here so I thought I'd give it another try. Never again. I will stick to the Thai restaurants I know.

I really enjoy the fried chicken over fried rice here because it is crispy and a big portion. I also like the panang curry which is mildly spiced, creamy and quite flavorful. Service is friendly but can be a bit wonky at times with a language barrier or missing items. But it is the food that keeps me coming back. They have lunch specials that start at $12.95 and finding something for less than $15 is getting less and less these days. I love their Thai iced tea as it is creamy, not too bitter and has that nice milky tea flavor I love. Other standouts include the angel wings, the pineapple fried rice and any of the other curry dishes. If you are looking for a small no frills Thai restaurant that is inexpensive and big portions, Santi Thai Fusion checks all of those boxes.

Will take pictures next time!

The five stars are for the massive amount of cashews on top of the fried rice. At most other…read moreplaces, the number of cashews on the plate can be counted on the fingers from both hands. But over here, it's as if they were trying to pour out the cashews from a five pound bag and ended up with a mountain of them on top of the plate. The cashews might have been piled in this manner in order to keep them crunchy, so this was appreciated. The picture shows what it looked like after mixing the cashews together with the rest of the ingredients on the plate. The pineapple slices were not sweet this time, but the sweetness in the raisins made up for it.

It is the kind of place that you line up to order and are given a number to take to your choice of open tables. There were several people in front of us and it did take longer than we thought it would. But the delay was because people were all chatting and asking questions of the staff. Not in anyway delayed because of the staff. They are very friendly and attend to each customer fully in their turn. The taps are VERY unique and they will offer you a taste of their special brews. My wife got a sour and enjoyed it. I played it safer and got a ca of cider, which was delicous. For food we share a salad and and veggie burger. Both were good. The food takes a few minutes. So don't expect fast-food. This is a slow food place that makes ever item to order and tastes like it. Everything we had was very good. Note - This is a vegetarian restaurant that offer vegan options too. So, you need to know that going in. If you're in the area I recommend this place.
