🍴 Richmond Food Guide Vol. 3

📍 Crazy Thai Restaurant 🍛 Cuisine: Thai street food 👅 Flavor: Sweet & curry lovers, this is for you! 🌟 Specialty: Thai-style curry 🏠 Atmosphere: Small shop, mostly takeout 💵 Price: Around $20 per person 📋 What We Ordered: 🍜 Main Dishes: Pad Thai ($15) Drunken Noodles ($13) Spicy Basil ($13) 🍗 Snacks & Desserts: Crazy Wings ($8) Mango Sticky Rice ($7) 🍜 Pai Thai (Pork + Beef + Chicken Combo): This dish is like a dry-style Vietnamese pho with thin rice noodles, loaded with meat, fresh bean sprouts, crushed peanuts, and a wedge of lime 🥜🍋. The textures and flavors are rich and complex—the crushed peanuts especially reminded me of Chinese hot dry noodles ! It’s sweet overall, so if you’re not into sweet savory mixes, maybe skip this one. 🍝 Drunken Noodles (Chicken): The noodles are wide, similar to those in stir-fried hor fun. It comes with carrots and a few greens🌿. The flavor is mildly salty and a bit spicy. Pretty good, but not as exciting as the Pai Thai in my opinion. 🌶️ Spicy Basil (Beef): Tastes almost exactly like Chinese-style green pepper beef stir-fry—salty and savory! A nostalgic taste that takes me back to snack shops in China. Definitely a comfort dish. 🍗 Crazy Wings: These are a must-try! Super crispy skin, tender meat, and the sweet chili sauce takes it to another level. 10/10 recommend! 🔥 🥭 Mango Sticky Rice: Okay but not great. The rice was a bit too sweet, and the mango was a little sour and underripe. With coconut milk poured over, it was just… fine. Pass if you’re looking for something exceptional. ✨ Also previously tried & liked: Red Curry Minced Chicken with Basil Worth a try if you’re feeling adventurous! #URichmond #WeekendVibes #FoodReview #ThaiFood #RichmondEats 🥢🌶️🍚
