It’s always intimidating to walk into a restaurant at lunch time to find it completely empty when all the other places are packed. I decided to give it a go and was pleasantly surprised to find that the food was quite delicious.
The owner took our order and went in back to cook it up. Chicken satay, thai fish cakes for appetizers (approx $8 each dish), vegetarian phad thai ($16) and stir fried chicken with fresh veggies and basil leaves ($10 lunch special).
Food came out one dish at a time because the owner was in back cooking and serving on her own (Thank goodness it wasn’t busy), but each dish arrived piping hot, fresh tasting and extremely delicious. The fact that there was no msg in the food made it even more enjoyable.
The restaurant offers lunch 1100 – 1500, and dinner from 1700 to 2130.
Gluten free dishes as well as customized dishes are available for those with allergies. It’s BYOB (wine and beer only) with indoor and outdoor seating.
The menu says bookings are essential, so perhaps it gets really crowded in the restaurant, or the owner needs to know how much help she needs on any given day. At any rate, if you are looking for a authentic Thai restaurant, I’m pretty sure this place will satisfy your cravings. The only down side (beside there being no bathrooms), is that there is no Thai dessert – like mango on sticky rice, or that sickenly sweet and yummy Thai iced tea).
