Ricky Thai Bistro

We drove thirty minutes just to try this famed Thai restaurant for the first time. Totally worth the drive! We were so excited about the food that we even forgot to take pictures, so you’ll just have to take my (and my fellow reviewers’) word for it.

They have some of the best drunken noodles (pad kee mow) I’ve had in any restaurant. For some reason, other restaurants’ pad kee mow are sweet and greasy, but Ricky’s is bursting with flavor and just absolutely delicious. I ordered mine with beef and tofu, served medium spicy.

My SO ordered the volcano seafood which was filled with shrimp, squid and mussels. We loved that the veggies were crisp and not soggy. Seems like they add it towards the end rather than letting it sit in the heat for too long. Also comes with a side of white rice. So yummy!

I also ordered the beef noodle soup to eat this morning. Haven’t tried it yet, but based on the amazing dinner we had last night, I don’t expect anything less.

If all it takes is a thirty minute drive for me to eat delicious Thai food and support a family-owned restaurant during this crisis, I have no problem doing that at all. Support local (and try to order from them directly if you can)!
