It's a shame that the past two times I've eaten at Kesone it's been empty or nearly empty. I'm very particular about how my veggies are cooked, but the dishes I've had here are nearly perfect. At other restaurants, the veggies are too crunchy (Beau Thai), the dishes not very authentic (Typhoon!), the food overrated (Typhoon!), or the flavors have not come together (Thai E-San). Kesone does a perfect fried tofu, and the spring and summer rolls are delicious. \r

My only complaint is that the wait staff is hesitant to take your desired spice level seriously (they held back on my dish), and the rice noodles in the Pad Kee Mao could be heftier. Ask for bamboo shoots added to your dish; they make it all the tastier.
Pros: Quality and quantity of food for the price; wonderful dishes
Cons: Could use some more upbeat music
