What a nice little surprise nestled in the heart of the Piedmont district! I'm pretty picky when it comes to Thai food, but I must say that I was very pleased with Infinite Thai Eatery. It definitely boasts an 'infinite" amount of delicious Thai spices and flavor!
It was one of those nights where I had been drinking it up at the Kona Club with Porsche C. I had a light meal of sushi before I went to the bar, but if you know me... I can eat... at just about ANY time. Porsche was hungry, so we decided to walk down the street to find a taco truck... that we unfortunately never found. On the way there, we spotted this place and an Ethiopian option right next door. I'm a lover of both Ethiopian and Thai, but Porsche wanted Thai food that evening, so I complied.
When I walked in, I instantly noticed how homey it felt inside! The ambience was very calming and we were greeted and sat right away. The olive painted walls and cherry wood furniture played very well off of each other. The whole interior setup was just extremely appealing. Another observation was their extensive wine selection! They carry a pretty nice selection of wines for a place of its' size. Although I'm a lover of wine, I didn't want to continue drinking since we had just left the bar.
I already knew what refreshment that I wanted; my old and faithful Thai iced tea! Damn, they are so addicting. And, Infinite Thai sugared me up really nice with their Thai iced tea! It tasted perfect! I was also quite impressed with the origami style rose that they created with the paper straw cover. Can you say, talent? We also ordered Pineapple fried rice, angel wings, and Tom Yum Goong which is a spicy hot and sour herb soup with prawns, tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions.
Thaaaaat soup, though! It was bananas! Or wait... it was tomatoes! Or mushrooms... or onions?! Well, in any event... it was crazy good! Very flavorful with a subtle spiciness to it. The broth was just ridiculously good! It's one of those soups where I could just drink the broth all by itself without any additives to it. The pineapple fried rice was very tasty as well, but lacked in having an adequate amount of pineapples. The prawns, nuts, and other veggies more than made up for that though. I would have to say that the star of the show were those angel wings! Such a fitting title for them because they truly tasted "heavenly". Sweet, sticky, and perfectly glazed with a nice little kick to them. Basically, all that you'd want in a chicken wing!
Service was spot on, and our server (who I believe was also one of the owners) checked in on us plenty of times during the evening. We ended up being the last table to leave, and they didn't make us feel uncomfortable or try to rush us out. All in all, this is a great spot to dine at if you're craving for yummy Thai cuisine in the Piedmont neighborhood! read more
