First off, let me say I have frequented some of the best restaurants around. Thaicoon offers one of the best and cheapest Thai experiences you can get. I do not know what the other reviewer had as an experience but EVERY SINGLE TIME I travel to Greenville, SC, my very first stop, before even unloading my car, is Thaicoon! From the excellent sushi, I like the spider roll, as well as the spice tuna, and my fiance, she loves all of their sushi but especially the BBQ Eel and the Volcano Roll! \r
The fried rice is excellent as well, try the 3 King Friend Rice! The curries are brilliant as well. They use only the freshest ingredients and this is going on my several years of patronage. They never use anything but the best ingredients. As for the service, Bobby, the owner, is always walking around greeting and grabbin a quick chat with you. If you go, HE WILL REMEMBER you!! LOL Trust me, very nice guy and always answering any question about the great food, fantastic drinks or the immensely cool Asian decor. Honestly, I am from Washington DC area and am pleading with Bobby to open one up here so I dont have to drive 9 hours for some excellent Thai food. Try any dish, or ask the servers for recommendations. There are several things I consider a MUST to try!\r
Starter: SPRING ROLLS!!! Youll want to bathe in the Thaicoon sauce! Also try their wings or calamari!\r
Main: Spicy Catfish or Massaman or Green Curry\r
Rice: 3 King Fried Rice (Beef, Chicken and Pork) 4 King adds shrimp! \r
Sushi: Spider Roll, (I live near the Chesapeake bay, I know crabs!! The roll here is to die For) or the spicy tuna roll and the avocado or volcano roll. \r
Drinks: Thai Coffee is amazing as well as their plain sweet teas! Really amazing flavor. For acoholic beverages, the saki is great and the regular wine prices cant be beat...honestly...every night theres some sorta drink special. \r

Everything has a spice level too so you can customize your dish!
Pros: Spice level to customize dishes...Great food HUGE portions
Cons: Sometimes a wait, they take reservations tho.
