I will preface this by saying I had no intention of ordering food to go yesterday. My family and I were doing a Pokémon raid outside of Thai Square when we saw an employee helping a customer carry aluminum trays of food to his car next to us. She then ran back inside to get another tray and ran it to the customer's car. She then ran inside to tend to customers inside. Now I understand it is her job to help customers, but seeing as she was running the front on her own, I decided I needed to give this place a try. Once inside, there was a good amount of tables and seating available for people wanting to dine in. The employee asked for how many and if we would be dining there or ordering to go. I told her it would be to-go, and she handed me a menu. I then decided to go with the chicken pad Thai spice level 2/5 for our first try and with a mango sticky rice for dessert as we had never had it before. She was very kind and asked about how we heard about them and was very appreciative of us deciding to order from them. She then told us the food would be out within 10 minutes. We waited at the little bar area by the front door, and sure enough, our food was out within the time she said.
Once I got home, I noticed the noodles were thinner than the pad thai's I've had in the past, which I have no problem with, but I know some people prefer thicker noodles. Also, there were chunks of tofu in there, which I had never had before. The flavor of the pad Thai overall was excellent; I could taste the fish sauce, tamarind, and there were chunks of green onion. The tofu was like a sponge soaking up all the flavors. In the future, I will probably order it at a level 3 or 4 spiciness. Now for the mango sticky rice, as I had mentioned, I had never had it before, so I have nothing to compare it to, but the flavor of the rice reminded me of arroz con leche. The mango was very ripe and sweet, and I will most definitely order it again in the future.
All in all, for my first experience at Thai Square, it was a positive one. From the nice lady at the counter to the delicious food, I would definitely recommend giving Thai Square a try, and I will be back. read more
