I decided that I needed to take my man out to dinner. He does a lot of work around here and he deserves a good night out! Bonus for him he has such a good lookin’ lady to be his date.
(I used some special money that two special people slipped into my bag – thanks ma&pa – xoxo)

I gave him the choice of going to the “Time to Eat Diner” or “Thai Kitchen II”. I had mentioned that on Sunday when I was at another store in the same plaza as the Thai Kitchen it looked totally packed with people – lining up outside their door. I almost didn’t have the word Thai out of my mouth before Hubby said … “Ooh Thai!”

As soon as we got to the restaurant we were impressed. It had a great atmosphere right away – the host station was made to look like a thai pagoda building, the walls had great thai elephant art and the deep red and black color scheme was really working. A large fish tank was right near our table and it was nice to look at the fish swimming around.

We decided that we hadn’t been out to eat – had a date – in awhile so we were going to enjoy ourselves. We each got an appetizer and an entreé.
(A quick note about the photos: Of course it’s iphone quality – booo. AND i didn’t want to be a big weirdo so i took photos quickly and wasn’t so meticulous with the quality of the picture.)

Hubby got the Thai egg rolls (there were three but we were ravenous and almost forgot to take a picture) and I got the Chicken Saté.

Both were really good. Best Saté I ever had actually – the peanut sauce was flavorful and the cucumber sauce was a bright and refreshing accompaniment.

Of course for my entreé i had to get PadThai – it’s my favorite – with chicken and shrimp. Hubby got a Thai Curry dish called “Gang Dang” – he chose shrimp as the protein.

It… was… the… BEST PAD THAI EVER!! SERIOUSLY!. It was so delicious, flavorful, sweet & tangy, rich, meaty, bright, peanutty, earthy – It was great! i squeezed the slice of lemon (which surprised me because usually it is lime but the menu made mention of lemon specifically) over the pad thai and it really brought it to life.

Hubby really enjoyed his Spicy Curry Shrimp – i did a tiny taste test and it had great flavor and heat. It wasn’t so spicy that Hubby was sweating or anything but it left a nice burn in his mouth.

We will definitely be back to Thai Kitchen II
Anyone who visits us may also be making a trip there with us – i can see it becoming a fast favorite :)! Or check out their website, they have multiple locations it seems.

I give it 5 out of 5 stars!
