Original Thai Taste

Quite honestly the best Thai food I have ever had. Most places tend to make their Thai food, especially their Phad Thai, way too sweet. Everything here is just perfect. The place is a touch run-down, but quite clean enough to eat at. The fantastic food is worth it. I would reccommend trying far more than just the Phad Thai (you can always tell who knows absolutely nothing about real Thai food by who only ever talks about the Phad Thai), the Tom Yum soup is fab, the perfect blend of hot and sour. The curries are all great, hot but not too hot to be flavorful. The zuccini special has to be tasted to be believed it has so much flavor. I have to keep reminding myself as I eat it that this resteraunt does not use MSG! The eggplant is everything I could want out of an egplant dish, not too stringy or spongy but still recognizable as the original vegitable (unlike your typical eggplant parmesan, for example). Pretty much all the noodle dishes are great. The spring rools and crab cakes are good. I am not big into the liberal use of peanut in some dishes like the Swimming Angel, but that is a typical Thai thing and comes down to my personal preference. Another thing to note is this is a great place for vegetarians. They have a full page vegetarian menu filled with great options, and most meals can be ordered with tofu instead of meat. There are also many vegan dishes. The bar/ lounge next door is no longer there and is now a small church, just FYI. Also the lunch specials are full meals for under five dollars apiece. Seriously. more

I took the advice from the other review to order out (I'm glad I did), and was expecting some decent Thai food. I ordered the Pad Thai and was rather disappointed with the taste, and texture. If you're looking for good Thai, go to the Thai Hut downtown Gig Harbor. The service wasn't the best, but the food was quite good. more

we always got take out and thought it was great. I loved their pad thai. I have always thought that the couch by the door is gross and dirty and the fish tank needed to be cleaned bad but I had never eaten inside before so over looked these things. My family and I went to eat inside and were completly grossed out by the filth. There was mess everywhere and the service was really bad. the lounge is only a door away so there are always people outside by the door smoking that you have to walk your family through. and drunk people always wanting to come talk to you when you wait for your food. the decor could do with cleaning out even if they could not afford anything new just throwing away alot would make a difference. has anyone there ever heard of a dish rag and water to clean? It is a shame that we ate inside because now we are not comfortable getting take out. with the look of the restaurant it makes you wonder what the kitchen is like. however if you are a brave person the pad tai is really great, just don't look inside. more

I was so excited to finally see a Thai restaurant in Port Orchard- their food is ok- not the best. The atmosphere is not good at all- they have a connected lounge that reeks of smoke and overflows into the restaurant area- the decor is really tacky as well. The food is pretty good- we always get the Phad Kee Mao which is excellant. more
