I’ve been on a Thai kick lately and wanted to check out a new restaurant near work. I was never a fan of Blue Fish, but was interested in checking out the Thai restaurant that took up residence at it’s old spot. Knowing that parking limit in this particular area, I left early to avoid any potential parking issues.
I love basil and would have normally ordered the Pad Kee Mao, but several of the Yelp reviews rated it badly, so I opted for Pad See Ew instead. The meal was flavorful but sweeter than I remember this dish being. I enjoyed my meal, but the protein to noodle ratio left me a bit disappointed. While there was an abundance of shrimp and veggies, they skimped on the noodles and what noodles they did have, was a lot of broken up pieces. I know most people prefer the protein, but the noodle fanatic in me was hoping for more carbs. The meal also wasn’t cheap and came in at $13 with the $2 extra for shrimp.
The staff was super attentive and friendly. And while it wasn’t crowded, I did see a table of Thai diners eating there. I could see myself dining here if I’m in the need of a quick fix for Thai, but wouldn’t make a dining habit out of it just because of costs and limited parking.
Blue Fish is still printed on the receipt. I’m not sure if it’s just technical difficulties and laziness that’s preventing the name update, but diners should be aware that’s how the charge will show up on their credit card statements.
