Sub par

by jlkramer

This food is decidedly mediocre. I ordered spring rolls and Red Curry Shrimp. The spring rolls tasted like fried nothing (I had not anticipated that they would be fried) and the primary flavoring of the Red Curry was bell pepper. When I order curry at a Thai restaurant, I want to taste bright, complex flavors like cilantro, kaffir lime leaves, lime zest, fresh chilis and shrimp paste--not just bell peppers with chili powder in watery coconut milk. There was also not enough shrimp in the curry.

Consistently Good & Take Out Friendly

by kimahigh

I live close by and pick up Tom Yum Noodle soup at least once a week. The food and the service are always the same - very good. Take out orders are packed with the noodles in a separate container so that the soup is perfect when you finally have a chance to sit down and enjoy. Because I can rely on Samui, we entertain more. The evening starts with cold wine from EVS and Thai appetizers. Whether we bother with dinner afterwards or just walk to the park to relax depends on the company.

• Pros: Prompt, relaxing service. Kids are made to feel welcome. No one minds if you read.
• Cons: None

Extensive menu, fantastic service - good place to take a date

Perfect for a nice, quiet evening out. Request to sit by the tropical marine fish aquarium or fireplace! Not your typical thai restaurant atmosphere - more like a cozy bed and breakfast. We thought that this added to the overall experience and will definitely be coming back soon. Good cocktails, extensive wine list and strongly flavored beers. Overall, two thumbs up!

• Pros: Sizable portions for affordable prices without sacrificing taste. Friendly service. Great atmosphere.
• Cons: Bit strong on the peanut sauce.
