PETER:
My chicken
in peanut curry sauce was nice, though, despite the star, I would call it
mild rather than "spicy." They didn't have Fisher beer, which was annoying.
EMILY:
Unfortunately, the Pad Thai was not as good-tasting as it was good-looking.
The outdoor seating is a tad campy and reminded me of the Brady trip to Hawaii.
A highpoint of my dining experience was my trip to the ladies' room. The primary
colors and upbeat music inspired me to electric slide to my table.
JULIE:
This creature of habit was less than impressed by the chewy pad thai (my standard
dish) -- not to mention the music in the bathroom (retro skipping record)
and the outside decor (water theme park log ride). But I'd go back for the
tragically-hip-people-watching (shimmer tanktops and suits).
CHRISTIAN:
Gotta love the back patio area. It brought back vivid memories of my recent
visit to Thailand (oh wait, that was Peter). The food? My chicken ka pow was
delicious (good quality meat!). Also, I like a place that brings you a lemon
with your wheat beer without your having to ask. This place has it all. By
the way, I've been to the Busara in Tysons Corner and it's just as good (minus
the patio, though).
AIMEE:
I would have to agree with Peter that the chicken in curried peanut sauce
did not rate a spiciness star, but luckily Bryce and I asked for spices on
the side, and I was able to bring it to Louisiana spiciness standards. The
sauce was very good, and I have since asked Richard to recreate it for me.
As another visitor to the women's bathroom, I would agree that the music was
exhilarating and the colors energizing.
Also in attendance were Bryce and Randy.
