    Paneng curry?  Nope

    Orderd Paneng curry and received what was pretty much slightly flavored coconut milk. Asked them about it and was told this is how they make it...don't do it!

    Menu - August 2019

    We liked it! In town for a day and wanting a non-beef meal and liking Thai food, we decided to try Imperial Thai. I ordered Garlic Stir-fry Chicken and subbed Fried Rice vs white. My wife ordered Panang Curry Shrimp and subbed Rice Noodles vs white rice. She ordered Hot Tea as well. We were here on a sunny Saturday around 12:45 pm. The place was not busy at all. The wait staff was young females. They both made comments that they were sort of filling in for the summer. They did fine. The Tea came about 15 minutes after she ordered it. The water pot was about half full and was like warm. I felt the Panang Curry was excellent. My wife thought it was just okay. My Garlic Stir-fry was good. Lots of chicken and the sauce had good flavor. The Fried Rice was a bit too brown and sticky but quite edible. I'd come back for that Panang Curry!

    DO NOT ORDER ONLINE! They will charge you even though they never confirm the order and the websites order page will never finish. The owner themselves told me that they have no control over the website and no power to issue a refund

    wonton soup
    Lauren T.

    First I'm going to acknowledge that my group didn't get the usual Thai dishes, but what we got wasn't all that great anyway. We ordered wonton soup and Mongolian beef. The soup was kind of weird. It had large chunks of broccoli and carrots and the wontons had big bits of ground up pork. (There were no veggies in the wonton.) The Mongolian beef didn't have the worst flavor, but it had some strange chili sauce on it. When you're done eating, you get up the counter and pay. The young man asked us what we ordered. We were like, didn't you write it down?

    Decent Thai place. Not much in terms of ambience, but full menu of noodle and rice dishes, soup, and curries. The service was the best part. Super friendly and attentive, even as they were getting ready to close on a Monday night and we were the last ones holding them up. My mixed vegetable medley came with broccoli, baby corn, onion, carrots, zucchini, bok choy, and a standard brown sauce with a side of rice. Tasted good. Nothing to rave about, but predictable vegetarian Thai dish, and portion size was about twice as much as I could eat. My boyfriend was super hyped on his Imperial red curry peanut butter dish with coconut milk, chicken, and pineapple. I believe he even called it something like "one of the best curries ever." Maybe that was his whiskey talking from the Crystal Lounge happy hour just down the street, or maybe it really was that good. I can't say definitively. I just wasn't feeling it quite as much. But worth giving it a try to make your own judgement.

    Pineapple Fried Rice with chicken
    Miles K.

    We found this place while checking our Door Dash options and this is one of the several Thai places available here. I'm general, there seems to be a large number of food choices within a few miles. The heat scale here goes from 1-10. I had the Penang curry with chicken and asked for it to be a 7. The curry itself was fine, but I definitely felt like the heat was closer to a 3 or 4 by the standards of most places. I thought it had good flavor, but this is the first time I've had a Panama curry and there were no vegetables. It had plenty of chicken, but I think the vegetables are the best part of these curries and it would have been great to have some. I also had some pineapple fried rice with chicken and it too was lacking in vegetables. It had a decent portion of cashews, raisins, and pineapple, but I'd have loved more veggies. The heat on this one was requested to be a 5, but again, it wasn't spicy at all. I was relatively happy with the meal in general and wouldn't be against eating there again. It wasn't my favorite Thai food, but it scratched the itch.

    So good! Ordered both the curry and the pad thai. Varying levels of spice, wish it was a little more consistent. Will be back!

    Good food served in a really drab environment. But I guess you don't go there to gawk at the surroundings.

The bartender had a serious attitude problem. When my chili came with onions, I asked if I could get one without the onions. She disgustingly said "yes", making no effort to hide the fact that she was annoyed by the request. She stated that most places put cheese and onions on chili, suggesting that I should thought to request no onions when placing the order. A more common scenario is for the server to ask if you want these additional ingredients when they take the order. They will charge you extra (on top of their already high prices) if you pay with a credit card. This same bartender didn't share this detail with me until I asked why my bill wasn't the price listed in the menu. When I expressed disappointment and asked for a receipt so I could go to the cashier to pay with cash, she made the comment "I don't make the rules". I usually won't bother reviewing a place based on just a bowl of soup, but my experience here was so awful that I have little reason to ever return.

The restaurant itself is nothing fancy, but probably nicer than other places around. The service was at first only one server, but as it got busier I think they brought out another. That said our server was as nice as could be and gave us advice on our choices. We also decided to split a salad and she offered to serve it on two plates with different dressings... VERY NICE. I had the Elk T-Bone. I believe it came with huckleberry sauce... I thought it could have used a little more as it paired well with the steak, but was only enough for a few bites. The roasted brussel sprouts had some that were black... too done. I thought the potatoes were over done as well. My wife had the fillet. Overall it was cooked medium rare as ordered, but most of the center was probably more rare... but it's not easy getting that cut perfect throughout. The potatoes gratin were tasty as was the steak. Asparagus was cooked perfectly. My wife had the lemon bread pudding with berry ice cream. The ice cream was good but she couldn't eat the bread pudding as it was too dense. I had the chocolate bar for dessert and enjoyed it. Overall we had a nice dinner. I'm not sure I would go back but wouldn't steer anyone away wanting to try it there.
