Land of Thai — Restaurant in Clinton

This restaurant is roomy. Tables are not close and the place is spotless. The food we ordered came quickly and was beautifully prepared. Steamed pork dumplings were starters. Delicate pockets with a perfect, light dipping sauce. All veggies were fresh, bright and beautiful to look at. My friend ordered ginger chicken. It was absolutely delicious. I ordered curried, soft shell crab. It too was fabulous! Both dishes came with sautéed vegetables and the sauces were individually prepared, specific for each main course. No ubiquitous brown sauce here. The menu described each dish thoroughly, so it was easy to understand and choose a meal. After tasting both meals, I decided that I needed to return often in order to try more dishes. They all sounded so good. I plan to order curried duck next time, though ginger chicken calls to me still. This restaurant is wonderful! The ambiance is basic and unadorned, but spotless, as I said earlier. Staff are very...

We were excited to see a Thai restaurant open in Clinton, so we gave it a try. The spring roll appetizer was very good but the fried calamari was obviously that frozen, over-breaded kind, rather than lightly-floured, flash-fried which I was expecting. My wife had the lettuce-wrapped tofu which was horrible. The tofu was deep fried and was so salty we threw it out. It wasn't "lettuce-wrapped"; it was simply a pile of over-fried tofu cubes sitting on top of a bowl of lettuce. Now the good news.....I love red curry and they did a fantastic job with the red curry which I got with the shrimp....8 rather nice-sized shrimp in a wonderful red curry sauce made with coconut milk and mixed with tasty vegetables. So, the moral of the story is....get the red curry with any of the offerings except tofu because I'm sure they would have thrown in those salty, over-fried tofu cubes into the curry...

Some big changes here:

They got rid of the lunch menu, so now it’s a really expensive lunch (dinner!) option.

Today, it’s frigid outside. When I pulled in the parking lot at 12:15, there was no other car. I knew that was a bad sign.

When I walked in, they were wearing heavy winter coats. They had the heat and lights off in the restaurant. Yet, it’s nearly February, and they have a Christmas Tree and decorations up and lit.

There was this extremely slow, irritating instrumental elevator music playing that nearly put me to sleep.

The women all had frowns, not a single smile. In fact, the older one who came out from the kitchen actually made nasty faces.

Food was great.
