Tonight was my first time to eat at Just Thai, and it's just as well as I've been meaning to find the best Tom Yum Soup for me. I have eaten in other Thai places in the city but I have yet to taste a Tom Yum Soup that can balance just the right amount of lime, subtle taste of lemon grass and a flavorful kick of the hot and spicy.
Nothing is worse than eating a Tom Yum overpowered by milk or one that does not meet the standard scale of sourness. I had one of those before and I left the place feeling full but not satisfied, which was a really sad moment for me.
However, with Just Thai, I'm happy to say that their Tom Yum soup lived up to my expectations. Not too spicy! Sourness, check! Much like Baby Bear's porridge, it's Just Right.
My only grumble was I wish they could've put in more shrimps and mushrooms. And a bigger serving perhaps? :)
We ordered other food such as Khao Krok Kapi (Bagoong Rice), Phad Thai, Tom Kha Gai (Chicken Soup in Coconut), Pad Gaprow Talay (Seafood in Basil).
I liked the Bagoong Rice, but I suggest don't mix all green mango strips too much with the rice because the mango taste is overwhelming. The rest are pretty good too and I would recommend them.
With that, I shall MOST LIKELY return to this establishment should I ever crave Thai food again. read more
