Sivalai Thai Cuisine II — Restaurant in Dartmouth

Hidden between a Liquor Store and a laundromat, this restaurant is amazing. My party of 12 arrived at 6. The restaurant knew we were coming and had it set up for us. We were given fried wantons with a house sweet/sour sauce. Our water glasses never went empty as we were well taken care of. The inside of the restaurant was interesting decorated. The bar is a shrine to Elvis with memorabilia scattered around it. My party ordered crab Rangoon. Expertly fried, the outer coat was golden and stuffed with crab and cream cheese. My friends rate them A. I ordered an order of Moo-Ping but the waitress came back to tell me they were out. Instead I ordered the wings. The dry rub wings were served with a beautiful garnish (carrot rose). The only problem with the plate was the garnish was mostly raw chili and jalapeños . The wings were interesting seasoned...so good! I give them an A+. The wings were meaty and really well fried. Equal number of flats and drummies! For my main meal, I ordered the crying tiger beef. So fresh tasting. The salad balanced the lite spiciness of the beef. The steamed jasmine sticky rice was the highlight. The whole meal was under 40.00 including tip. Really fresh tasting and...

I just noticed the restaurant a few weeks ago and have been wanting to try it so I finally decided to take the plunge. The location is unassuming but once you walk through the doors you are immediately delighted with decor. We were greeted by a friendly woman who showed us to a funky booth with seats that appeared to be hanging like a swing. There was green foliage all around and the atmosphere was welcoming.

We started with Tung-thongs, so yummy!! minced chicken, shrimp, corn and water chestnut in a round shape fried crispy spring roll bag.

I decided in the pad Thai and pork fried rice and my sister had the penang curry. The pad Thai was perfect spiced and a generous portion. The fried rice was cooked perfectly and not salty like many other local restaurants fried rice .

The Penang curry came out in a cute pit and was served with jasmine rice. It smelled amazing and my sister loved it. The portion was also generous.

This place is a must if you...

Just ordered my lunch to go and I was disappointed. It was extremely expensive for just a lunch order of chicken pad Thai with shrimp. First off it was $3.00 extra from shrimp and they gave me 3 small pieces of shrimp($1 per baby shrimp!!!). A bag of baby shrimp is 5.50 and you get 40 pieces!!! Online says coke cola 2.50 and I’m thinking 16.9 ounce bottle. Nope can of coke. This lunch cost me $21.00 btw and it was not even equivalent as pad Thai I have gotten from two different places. One chicken pad Thai from a place in Hanover Ma cost me a total of 15 dollars and it was loaded with shrimp and chicken and came with a bottle of coke. Same for Thai taste Swansea Ma!! Loaded with flavor chicken&shrimp and you get a 16 ounce fountain soda for 2.50 not a 12 ounce can. I food was okay at best priced at 14-16 dollars but 12.50 then 3 dollars for baby shrimp I was expecting more flavor and bigger portion for...
