CHARM CITY THAI KITCHEN

My husband and I were frequent guests at Thai Restaurant and so bummed when they closed. Ever since we’ve been looking for good Thai locally and just nothing has come close. Until now. I was disappointed they didn’t have yellow curry, so I ordered Drunken Noodles and my husband ordered his go-to Thai Fried Rice. We also got a Thai Iced tea. First off, the order was ready in 10 mins- we live 12 mins away and I left as soon as I ordered and it was ready before I got there. Pickup is super easy and straightforward even though I was new to the whole locker system. Parking might be tricky on weekend nights but it was easy on a weeknight. I drank the tea on my way home and wow! It set expectations high for the meal. However, the meal did not disappoint. The drunken noodles were the best I’ve ever had— spicy but not so spicy you can’t enjoy it. The noodles were perfectly cooked (I hate when places make them way too mushy). Every bite was just spectacular. My husband wished his Thai fried rice was spicy like at other places, but the flavor was good even though it wasn’t what he expected. This is now our go-to Thai place and we’ll be recommending it whenever anyone asks.

Ordered on GrubHub. The fried tofu was good, but the pad thai was very, very, very, bad. The noodles were spaghetti--round, taste and texture of wheat pasta, not flat rice noodles, matted together in an overly sweet sauce. No egg, no scallions, nothing, skimpy portions of meat. Essentially a pound of Chef Boyardee masquerading as Thai food. Hard pass 👎
