A regular at this place. Usually order the Chicken Pad Thai (noodles, tofu, chicken, a sprinkling of green onions and a pack of ground peanuts on the side), Spring Rolls (2, with sauce) and/or the Ginger Chicken (stuffed with chicken and different mushrooms, a few red peppers and a flavorful sauce). Note that each of these will feed 2 or can be used as leftovers (unless you’re really hungry).
It’s a great place for takeout or delivery. It’s not really a good place to eat in, since the tables are minuscule and if a crowd comes in to order, you’re stuck with their hip in your face as they line up – or you’re next to where the girls pack up the orders or by the bathroom. They have a few barstools in front which are good if you can get them.
Tips: the menu has freebies when you order a certain amount, but it’s only applicable if you’re not buying a discounted item in your total. Also, there’s a lunch menu which includes rice with things like the Ginger Chicken, or discounted items, but you have to pick them up. No delivery for Lunch Specials. Once you’re acquainted with how they do this, it’s usually no issue.
