Read MoreI get a little jaded with the Asian restaurant scene down the Peninsula. There's only so many chinese-run teriyaki places, pho every pho blocks (sorry,) and don't get me started on chinese restaurants. So when we went to Charm Thai I was hoping it'll be different. It was totally unexpected.
It's not in downtown SM where Asian places almost outnumber Asian customers(jk). It's on ECR halfway between downtown and 92 almost next door to Mickey D's. We were a party of 8 which allowed us to order more food, and variety. Started with the chicken wings-crunchy, hot, with a little sweet sauce... Gimme a couple of orders and rice and I'm good for dinner, but that's just the beginning.
We had larb- lime-tangy, crunchy veggies, it's really good. Then the food started coming out - pad Thai, pad se-ew, green chicken curry, pineapple fried rice. Moat places skimp on the black bean with pad se-ew but Charm Thai nails it. The curry had enough spice and creaminess to be interesting without calling SMFD. Maybe the most impressive is the Garlic Fish-pieces of sole deep fried crunchy and hot, fish is flaky moist and tender. Change my order to the fish AND chicken wings with the rice and I'm good for dinner!
The place is kinda small but food comes quick and their quality is spot on. The staff is friendly, they keep the water coming...but splurge and try the lychee ice tea. A bit sweet but nothing some water won't fix, but if the curry's a bit hot you'll be happy you did. Great stuff Charm Thai, we'll be back!I
