Benefits from no direct competition
The service was prompt and pleasant. The decor of the restaurant was trendy. My table had a light placed in a funny way that it cast shadow on my food in a weird way. I don't think I had ever noticed my own shadow at a restaurant.
My girlfriend ordered some dish with tofu. This restaurant put me right back on my soap box about the stupid tofu. Restaurants should stop using these tough, fried tofu. It's not something that should be thrown in as just another type of "meat" at a Thai restaurant. How about some making/using fresh, non-fried, tofu available as an option. I love fried anything and everything except this stuff that's served at these Thai restaurants as tofu. Real tofu should taste better.
My dish was a seafood stir-fry with shrimp, scallops, and squid. It's not bad, but it also didn't distinguish itself.
Their rice is subpar. This is probably my biggest complaint. I can live with the stupid tofu(because I'm resigned to seeing it everywhere) stuff, and I'm ok with the seafood stir-fry being what it is(I'll even consider it tasty because I like seafood), but their ricecooker may be broken, or they do not know how much water to use to cook rice.
The dining experience wasn't horrible, and staff is nice, but I'd consider it expensive for what it is, and there are better alternatives out there. I suppose I would go there if I had to have noodles.
