Panang Curry

Food and service are great here, ambiance is not the best, but not entirely shabby either. They could do with a sprucing, but still totally worth it to come because this is hands down some of the best Thai food in the city.

Make reservations for prime times it can get packed with queue forming outside. It’s a very small restaurant, so waiting time could be long potentially.

We requested the specific table we wanted and they accommodated our request without any hesitation. We opted for a corner seat in the back, which was perfect. The restaurant has a very traditional Thai menu with all the familiar classics and favorites. Some of the dishes we’ve ordered:

1. Thai Basil
2. Thai Ginger
3. Massaman Curry
4. Panang Curry

All 3 are hits. Many times, the Thai Basil dish is made too sweet with a lot of added sugar or corn syrup, but that wasn’t the case here. It was just right and flavorful. The Thai Ginger had plenty of freshly grated ginger and I asked for it extra spicy, which they actually did. So many times they don’t take you seriously, but here, they made it perfectly. Massaman was spot on, too.

None of the dishes were too oily or too salty and they were great about customizing the vegetables. There was a large variety – broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, peppers, onions, green beans. The Massaman also came with cashews and potatoes. The Panang curry is one of the best versions of this dish around.

The Thai Iced Tea was a bit on the sweet side, though and we would’ve prefer it less sugary.

Ginger Stir-fry

No complaints about this place at all. Everyone was friendly and accommodating, the food is delicious, and the prices are great. Just that the establishment could be touched up a bit, but that doesn’t preclude us from coming back!
