We haven't been here in awhile; not sure why, because their food is really good and the atmosphere is brightly colored and warm, there are lots of booths, the service is good and the portions large.
But last night we didn't have one of our most memorable combo's. I usually order an egg roll (you can get just one for $1.25) which was delicious. Sometimes they are really dry but not last night. And i asked the waitress what noodle dish had the thin glass noodles and she said Pad Thai which we don't order very often but from my memory it does not have the noodles i wanted but I ordered it anyway. mistake. it had linguine sized pasta and not too many vegetables and no chopped peanuts on top.
As i was complaining and apologizing to Bill, he reminded me (too late!) that its the Vietnamese cuisine that has the thin noodles i wanted.
The other dish was red curry with chicken. It had a nice slightly spicy taste but only had bean sprouts and huge mega-chunks of green pepper and only 1 small piece of basil. I like the curries with more vegetables in addition to the meat. and the rice; it was one glutinous ball made more palatable by dousing it with the red curry sauce. Evidently they need lessons from me because my basmati rice is tender and light with each grain separate to appreciate its flavor. Luckily we have some of that rice left over from our grilled shrimp dinner and we'll use that with our leftovers.
We will be back though because the food disappointment was my fault and not any decrease in quality of the kitchen.
The restaurant is on 5th and Rosemont; close to the kosher jewish deli.
