Thai Home

Edit... Went back. Still didn't feel particularly welcome. Rice on the togo order was a disaster. Wrote a second review on their second google page... dropped another star. Thai Noodles popped up under the search, “Pho near me”. I was a little surprised as Pho is a Vietnamese dish, but hey, what does this old Tây know anyway? I would suppose that with the popularity of Pho it’s becoming a required dish at all Asian restaurants. Heck, I guess they’ll start carrying it at the local 7/11 soon. So as I was deciding on the Pho du jour, I saw they have a Tom Yum noodle broth, which makes a lot more sense to me. A good mix of spicy, hot, sour, fish funky broth can inspire the attainment of enlightenment, or at least a feeling of deep satisfaction. So that’s what I got. Not a huge bowl, but pretty with peanuts scattered on top and the good rich red/orange color that I associate with a good Tom Yum. I dip the spoon carefully and take my first tentative slurp, like a wayward son peeking inside the door of his ancestral home after many years abroad. Is anybody home? Am I still welcome? Can I taste the fish sauce, the lemons grass? The Kafir lime? The oh so wonderful chilies? First sip is yes on all counts. Great broth! I take off my coat, I know I will sweat. I know my nose will run. The noodles are perfect. The shrimp? I wonder is there is a rule that the shrimp must be bland and rubbery? The chicken is good, the squid is… well I’ll be honest, I don’t actually eat the squid. I never eat squid. Looks too much like extruded plastic, so I don’t count that in the final rating. So it was good broth, the shrimp didn’t light my fire, and the server didn’t really make me feel welcome or attended too. Distracted although I was the only customer there and the bowl was a little small. Solid 4 out of 5 because the broth was great and I had a good time chasing all the chopped peanuts around the bowl.

Very very disappointed. First off I order online and I select the option of paying in store with my debit card. When I arrived they tell me my order is a dollar more. I show my receipt with the credit/debit card price but they basically didn't care. Against my better judgment I pay the total with the extra dollar and leave. I tell myself it could still be good food. Then I get home and my pineapple fried rice is full of chicken, chunks of onion and tomatoes. No carrots, peas, bell peppers or cashews as you can see in the attached picture. The curry completely over powered the dish. I had a few bites and that's all I could eat. I asked for medium spicy but no spice at all in the dish. The chicken was chewy and just taste like a mouth full of curry. I've had Pineapple Fried Rice from many Thai restaurants and this by far is the worst.

I thought I knew about Thai food and by happenstance, stopped by this place last week for takeout lunch, which was a Pad See Ew and a Pumpkin Curry! i WENT BACK THE NEXT DAY...and the day after for some more Pumpkin Curry with White Meat Chicken and...OMG: this is the best! Chef Paul is just amazing!!!! And if you like duck....you must try the Duck Curry and the Duck Pho. These are not small, hacked up pieces like you would expeience in other Asian restauraints....these are actual duck ribs with rib meat on them: think mini steaks/chops!!! AMAZING! Went there last night for a sit down and I had the catfish dish! Oh my god! Just fantastic!! In a short time, Chef Paul and his masterings have become my favorite 'go to' restaurant!

I am so glad that I got to stop and try chef Paul's (don't let the name deceive :)) authentic Thai cuisine. I would have loved to stay in their dining room since it was so nice and cool, especially at this time of year. However, you can indulge in the view. There is a cool bar area with good alcohol options, and a nice big TV to enjoy while having a nice lunch. From the moment I opened my coconut soup ( Tom Kha), my mouth instantly started salivating all the different aromas that coming such a nice little package. The chicken pieces were bigger than I anticipated, and every vegetable, from the fresh tomatoes to the mushrooms and chopped onions, every ingredient tasted fresh and clean. One of my favorite things was finding a little leaf that I assume makes this soup a must try. You have to pair it with the steamed rice as it soaks all the flavors that remind me of the days me and dad indulged on any given night where we had to have authentic Thai. There is plenty of parking for those who are driving and it's also conveniently situated near a bus stop. Are you hungry yet?

(Forgot to post review from few weeks ago) Amazing Thai food!!! We ordered the basil fried rice and a fried fish dish to go. Both were amazing dishes and larger quantities than expected (def good value!). The basil fried rice (vegetarian) had so much flavor and the rice and veggies were cooked to perfection. This stood out as our fav item of the day. Paul, the owner, is also super friendly and seems to care about both his "dine in" and "to go" customers. P.s. If you ask him about his restaurant's dishes, you'll realize why the food tastes so good. Pro-Tip: The prices on the website (+ doordash) seem to be a dollar lower than actual prices. Make sure to check prices by phone or at the physical location to not get surprised.

This Thai restaurant is fabulous! The pad se ew is some of the best! The Tom ka Kai is superb! Larb and sauté are yummy. Really can’t go wrong. I’m excited to go back and try the papaya salad and crispy fish! This man recreates his mothers dishes from many years past. A lovely business man and his talented wife and daughter! This restaurant would be packed every night if it was in a bigger city. I hope you go! You’ll love it. Very happy we stumbled into it on our way from Oregon to Canada 🥳
