Thai food is always a favorite, which is why I noticed this restaurant soon after it opened. The…read morerestaurant is located in the parking lot of an office park, convenient on weekdays but empty on the weekends, at least for lunch. There was some take-out activity, though.
The restaurant looked appealing: comfortable booths along the wall of windows, large tables throughout, and giant drum lights. The menu was equally appealing, featuring a variety of dishes including several appetizers (spring rolls, crab rangoons, chicken satay), noodles (Pad Thai, Pad Se Ew, Drunken Noodles), curries (red and green), house specials, soups, and desserts (mango sticky rice).
I was glad to see Thai iced tea and duck on the menu, so I ordered both. I started with the crab rangoons, crab and cheese dumplings deep-fried and served with a sweet chili sauce. This version had more crab than the others that I've had, which I appreciated. Additionally, I liked the wrapper - it was thin and crispy.
The duck curry was a treat. Nicely crispy and meaty, the duck was served with red bell peppers, carrots, and pineapple chunks in a coconut milk curry that had just the right level of spice.
Although I don't typically eat a lot of rice, I did order the mango sticky rice for dessert. Fresh mango is served with a sweet coconut-milk sauce on sticky rice. All the components of this dessert were incredible: the mango was lovely and perfectly ripe, the coconut milk was fragrant, and the sticky rice tasted spot on.
Service was helpful and professional.
