It's funny that I was so hell-bent on eating only non-Asian food when I came back from Asia because all I've been eating every time I go out is Asian food. (I guess you can take the girl out of Asia but you can't take the Asian out of the girl.) On that note, we decided to go for fake Thai Thai-style food this evening at Pho Pad Thai:
Stir-fried pineapple beef with cashew nuts
Thai green curry chicken with roti
The food is decent for what it is as long as you don't compare it to authentic Thai food. (To be fair, you come here knowing that it's not the real shit. It's Chinese-owned and they serve multiple Asian cuisines, so at least one of them is gonna be lacking.) My only real complaint is the portion sizes here. They are noticeably small, especially for the price. (Maybe I spent too much time in Asia. Where food is way cheaper and there's no tax or tip.) In fact, we were contemplating whether we should order another entrée, but then thought it wouldn't be worth the money so we just got some Vietnamese spring rolls to share instead. (I've been here a few times before and I do think the Vietnamese food is pretty good.) Whatever they lack in value and authenticity, though, they make up for in service. The servers and owners treat you like family here and that's what keeps people coming back.
