This restaurant is located in the Essex Shoppes outlet mall. The store really is tiny, you could walk by and miss it without the sandwich board advertising the specials. I went at lunchtime where you can get a trio for 7.95: pick one item from each category: soups and drinks, appetizer, and main course.
I’m used to eating Thai fast food that is on the salty side and kicks you in the gut with spice. This doesn’t. The spice is there but it’s warm and pleasant, you taste all the flavors not just fire. And it’s not salty. it’s wonderful! I love it and would go back if/when I return to the area.
The lunch special came on a large oval plate. I got a bowl of beef curry, a mound of plain rice, a decent helping of salad, a pork skewer (my chosen Group B item) and a glass of iced tea (see below).
The curry has a good amount of liquid, so use the rice or mash up the chunks of potato to soak up some liquid. it also includes chunks of carrot, a crown of crushed peanuts, and an undertone of coconut. Boy was that good! You will have a pleasant tingle in your mouth and you can taste a variety of spices.
A special shout out for the ginger iced tea, included in the lunch special above. This was icy cold and very refreshing on a boiling hot day. Not too sweet and the ginger flavor was fresh and distinct without overpowering. I could have drunk a whole pitcher of this.
