Today I had the pleasure to try a new Thai Restaurant here in Folsom. This was a hidden gem of a place. The atmosphere is very cozy with a wonderful balance of colors. Now the star of the show was the food. We started off our meal with a wonderfully balanced soup called Tom Kha. This is a very savory and well-balanced soup featuring coconut, ginger, lemon grass with a touch of fish sauce to add just the right amount of saltiness that really elevated the soup. The mushrooms and chicken added just the right amount of body to the soup to really satisfy. Next my wife had the Thai basil beef, the beef was absolutely superb and was so tender. The vegtables were still crispy and the sauce was wonderful and not super spicy like I have had during my travels. I am sure you can have them make it more spicy if you wanted, personally I thought it was superbly balanced. My main course was the Chicken Pad Thai. They really did a great job here on this dish, the sauce had just the right kick of tamarind and the noodles were perfectly cooked so they still had body to them. The chicken was cooked just right and the bean sprouts were nice and crispy. Our dining experience was 5 stars all the way. They even gave my wife a Thai iced tea to go. If your in the Folsom area I...
Read moreWow, was not expecting a strip mall Thai place to be this amazing. We had a feast tonight, cream cheese wontons, shrimp and curry puffs for appetizers. My wife and I were starving and we're not disappointed by any of these starters. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Nothing was greasy or fatty.
Our mains were chicken pad Thai and yellow chicken veggie curry with rice. The curry was rich and creamy. The vegetables were perfectly cooked The carrots which I don't even like we're still semi-crispy but slightly soft. Absolute perfection. The potatoes were firm but cooked. The rice was fluffy and hot. The pad Thai was flavorful and huge. Ample crumbled peanuts minimal bean sprouts and lots of flavor with chunks of tofu and chicken generously throughout. I can't wait to come back here. This was some of the best Thai food I've ever had.
The service was fine but I needed refills throughout the night that I didn't get but it did appear that there was only one waitress. She was on her game running the whole floor by herself so I feel they were short staffed and still held their own. Amazing experience I'll...
Read moreWe finally try this restaurant on Saturday night for dinner. We were the only customers there so we were seated immediately. The server was very attentive to us. He checked us often to refill the water and gave us extra utensils. The food came out pretty quick (about 10 minutes after we ordered).
Pad thai with chicken: very good pad thai. The noodle was perfectly cooked - chewy and still had a bite. The flavor was on point with a hint of tamarind. They gave pretty good amount of juicy chicken pieces . The portion was very generous - we couldn’t finish it between us. green curry with chicken: delicious. The curry was creamy and flavorful. The vegetables were perfectly cooked. The green bean still had its crunch. The chicken was juicy and there were plenty of them. mango sticky rice: YUM! The perfect dessert to end the meal! The sauce was creamy coconuty that wasn’t too sweet. The sticky rice was perfectly cooked and supple. The star was the sweet and refreshing mango! The contrast between sweet & creamy was a...
