TASTE OF THAI - HILLCREST

I lived in this neighborhood for some years and I eat at this restaurant every chance I get. The prices are great, the food is AMAZING, and the service is first rate. If you know my reviews you know I only rate the 5-star places and for me a restaurant can make it to 5-stars if I can count on provide a visiting friend with a memorable meal at a convenient price. This place never disappoints.

It is a vegan restaurant. All meat options are mock (soy) versions. That being said, I still enjoyed the food. I ordered yellow curry with vegetables, rather than mock meat. I asked that the dish be cooked extra spicy. I found it to be a medium level. If you are looking for a very mild spiciness, they can definitely accommodate you. The waitress was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice. I would recommend checking this restaurant out, especially if you are vegan or are trying to limit your meat consumption.

Really enjoyed our dinner here! I got the spicy noodle with squid and it was cooked perfectly and had a nice kick without being overpowering. My girlfriend had the egg noodles with shrimp and was all smiles the whole time. We also tried the plum wine, which was sweet and tasty, kind of the perfect finish to the meal. Chill vibe, friendly service, and the food hit the spot. Heads up, my girlfriend thought medium spice was too spicy for her, but I enjoyed medium spice.

Was expecting a lot better experience then it was, flavor was quite not there compared to other Thai restaurants i’ve been before, seemed a bit too dry, meat quality wasn’t great, when i ordered the most popular dish i was expecting more i guess. Altho it looked good.
