We've been Thai Thai fans since the beginning. And remain fans after the transfer of ownership…read more The "new" owners are still very invested and responsive and involved. They care about the food and the patrons.
This time, we got takeout. We tend to alternate between Thai Thai and Thai Express (both are wonderful and authentic, with great flavors and spice).
We got some of our favorites: drunken noodles (pad see Mao), packed with egg noodles, zucchini, broccoli, onions, bell peppers, carrots, mushrooms, and basil. They really do shove this dish full of spice and fresh veggies. I got the level 4, which is a level below "Thai hot."
Honestly, I will say they probably serve things hotter and more accurately in the restaurant. I didn't think my takeout was a level 4 . . . certainly nowhere near the next level of Thai hot . . . I suspect this is because they expect palm colored people to shy away from spice, and if not in person, they can't confirm what they REALLY mean when they say "spicy" or "hot."
We also got the pineapple fried rice and the lo mein. Honestly, a lot of our dishes overlapped, but we were fine with that because we knew this food would be high quality and would carry over into lunch the next day.
Thai Thai offers authentic takes on all of the above as well as pad see ew, lard na, pad wooden, various soups. They offer the whole range of noodles, from thick and beefy egg noodles to stir-fried glass noodles.
Fried rice with pineapple, sriracha, crab, sardines. In addition to noodles of all textures and sizes, they also offer a multitude of flavors: ginger, veggies, brown sauce, basil eggplant, sweet and sour, garlic, cashew, peanut, pepper, sesame . . . or even "three tase," or their special three flavor sauce.
Tons of curry . . . red, green massaman, panang.
Meaty dishes like basil steak, BBQ pork ribs, roasted duck, lamb . . . seafood like scallops, lobster, salmon, pompano.
This is a Western Kentucky mainstay. We must protect Thai Thai and Thai Express at all costs!
