Haven't had a good Thai food for awhile, so my wife and I decided to search through Yelp and find a good Thai Restaurant to go to. From our research, we found this restaurant which is highly recommended by many. Upon entering the restaurant, you will smell a very light hint of orchid. The smell of the flower will just open your senses. As recommended by many, we ordered the fish cake, the papaya salad, the chicken feet (not being recommended, but with Asian heritage, I just had to try) and the Panana with Tom Yom Soup.
Maybe is the time frame I went, the waitress and waiter (kids of the owner) were not very attentive. My water and my wife's were both on empty and the waiter never bothered to ask for refill. Any way... going back to the food right now.
When the fish cake came out, just as most people said, the food is good. My wife loved the sauced pickles that came along w/ the fish cake. Next came to plate was the papaya salad. Even though we ordered mild, the spice was still more than my wife and I can handled. (I supposed if is not spicy, it is not authentic Thai food.) Therefore, we were drinking water and eating rice through the rest of the meal. The panana was okay, it was just like any other Thai restaurant. Nothing special. the Tom Yom Soup was okay too. My wife thought that it could be a little more sour. The last dish we had was the chicken feet salad. It was something unique and we have not try before in a Thai restaurant, so we did not know what to expect. The food actually turns out to be surprisingly good. If you are okay with chewy chicken skin, I strongly suggest you try this.Before we go, the owner also treat us to a cup of coconut jell-o. The jello was very flavorful and very tasty. I wonder how come I did not see this on the dessert menu.
Overall the food is good, better than average. Typically I will give this type of food a 4 star, however due to lack of service and the price of the dish (everything is priced around 6-7 but the plate is fairly small) I had to settle for a 3 star.
