Dress

Very casual

Cost

Quite reasonable. Most curry/entree items were around $12.

Items Ordered

Fried Spring Roll

Fried Spring Roll

The spring roll platter came with three spring rolls, cut into six halves. They were your typical tasty fried spring roll.

Chicken Panang

Chicken Panang

The chicken panang was a red curry dish with steamed broccoli. It was served with white rice, but if I had known, I would have ordered it with brown rice.

The curry was fairly spicy, as indicated by an asterisk on the menu. The curry didn't really soak into the broccoli at all, so in the end, I ended up eating the broccoli on its own (since the pieces were so large), and the curry separately.

The curry itself was just what I was looking for - it was spicy, and had a delicious coconut milk flavor. It was served with lots of chicken, but could have used some other vegetables.

Cashew Nut

Cashew Nut

The cashew nut was ordered with chicken and brown rice. It had a great assortment of vegetables, and a good amount of cashews and chicken. It was quite mild flavored, but still tasty.

Sweet Banana

Sweet Banana

This was an interesting dessert. It was exactly what it says, one sliced banana served in a bowl of hot milk. It tasted not bad, but wasn't very sweet. As seen in the picture, it was very soupy.
