A friend of mine at work raves about the place, and was telling me suggestions on what to get to eat. We sort of took her suggestions - especially the ones about what to avoid - and made our orders.
The Crispy Beef appetizer with sticky rice was very good. The cream cheese wontons were great - although the dipping sauce wasn't quite what we were expecting (it was a vinegary sauce, instead of what is - at least around here - traditionally a sweet sauce). My Holy Basil Fried Rice with chicken was very good - not overly done, just very much the flavors that should have been there. There were Drunken noodles and a "7-vegetable Rainbow Medley" (which, I'm sorry, I did not taste). And Christopher got a Massaman Curry with Beef - and he ordered it "spicy" (which is their middle level of heat, apparently, and was probably about as hot as I would ever ask for).
We all really liked the food. And, as lucky as you can imagine, I got to take home most of the leftovers. So, for lunch today I had a mixture of Drunken noodles and Basil fried rice. For dinner tonight it was the leftover Massaman Curry (which had no beef left in it - although it still had a lot of spice).
Overall, it was a really good meal.
Christopher and I both agreed that we might not go out of our way to drive there for dinner, but that we would definitely go back if the opportunity presented itself. And, well, that says something in a town that is as full of restaurants as Minneapolis is.
