This is a corner lot hole-in-the-wall on commuter alley Bloomingdale. For a Friday night, it was almost completely empty, but then we watched take-out after take-out orders being picked up.
Hubby and I had been coming on and off for years and the food was always good, but service was inconsistent.
This time, I was here with a girlfriend.
After we ordered the soup, the waiter brought shrimp crisps with home-made duck sauce (free). Oh yum. So much better than the Chinese corn syrup version.
Then Tom Ka soup. It was very good, and a bit lighter than some others that I've had, which is a good thing.
Next, Yum Duck salad. It was the size of an entree and very tasty.
Then, entree, but I was too full, so I took it home.
My husband likes noodles, so I got the Pad Se-Ew for him (to go). It was sweet, and he didn't like it.
I got myself the beef basil entree to go (since I was full). Well. It didn't make it until the next day. Possibly the best Thai basil I've ever had.
My friend ordered the cashew dish and she loved it and it was so much that she took half of it home. Amounts are relative to the person, so someone else, especially a guy, may have finished it.
Their prices are pre-Covid, unless you order a specialty. Beef is priced the same as pork and chicken. Where can you get a beef noodle dish, beef curry, beef basil for under fourteen?
The waiter was incredibly nice and courteous. We stayed a bit after dinner, catching up. He brought pineapple and water melon for dessert (free). We stayed longer. He brought wonton chips with a sweet drizzle (free and yum). I know it only costs pennies, but it was very courteous and attentive.
Then we found out it was just him and the chef in the back. Kudos.
This has just become my favorite girlsnightout go-to place.
