I am a little unsure of Pha's Pepper Thai…read more First let's start with the service. The hostess was super friendly, polite and helpful. I was a walk-in order and the food was ready quickly. The ambiance was nice. Brightly lit and very clean. I went in rather late, maybe 8:30pm and there was a tv on and the sound was nice and low and not loud. I would have no problem having to eat-in if that was the plan. Now let's talk about the food. I ordered a pretty basic meal, chicken Pad Thai and a Hot and Sour soup. The amount of food in the Pad Thai was nice, it was definitely fresh and hot (temp) and certainly filling. I asked for medium spiciness but I think I should have just said hot because medium had no kick to it. The issue I found was the lack of actual chicken in the dish, very minimal but a lot of egg, it almost felt like egg was used as a filler to be honest. And then the sauce or lack-thereof. Not a lot of sauce at all so some bites just tasted like noodles and bean sprouts. Overall, I guess it was good but it could be better. Chicken Pad Thai: 7 out of 10 Now for the Hot and Sour soup. Although the flavor of the soup was "different" than I've normally tasted other places and the color of the soup was super dark compared to the lighter versions I am used to from other places, the real issue was the ingredients. Hot and sour soup is supposed to full of a protein, mushrooms and bamboo shoots. This order had a minuscule amount of anything. It was basically all broth and the very little amounts of everything else was settled on the bottom. Hot and Sour soup is one of my favorite soups and this was honestly a considerable let down. Hot and Sour soup: 4.5 out of 10 I am going to chalk my mediocre experience up to being late in the evening. I'll try it one more time in the near future closer to a normal dinner time and see how it goes. I'd like to give them another shot at a higher rating from me. Until then, I can only give them 3 stars. UPDATE As I said in my original review, I did go back today and my experience was vastly different than first time. I remembered to take photos this time too. I ordered the exact same food I ordered the first time so I could fairly compare. Pad Thai: This visit the food was still hot and fresh and the portion size was fantastic. The spice level was perfect. This time I did opt for "hot" instead of medium and it was spot on. Good kick, enough to make my nose run, so that's good. This time there was the perfect amount of sauce and I could taste it. And this time there was a perfect amount of protein and not an over abundance of egg. The Pad Thai was great the second visit. First visit score: 7.0 Second visit score: 8.5 Hot and Sour soup: When I opened the lid I could actually see all the ingredients whereas the first visit there was hardly any, all broth. This time there was a decent amount of bamboo, meat, and carrots. It also had tofu in it which I personally could do without but that's just a personal preference. It was a wildly different bowl of soup compared to the first time which makes me think I was kinda ripped off the first time since it was basically only broth. First visit score: 4.5 Second visit score: 7.5 Also, I am going to bump up my star rating from 3 stars to 4 stars.

I love how they have a variety of options of spice levels because it gives me the option of mild plus. Spicy, but not to the extreme of medium. I ordered the curry noodles, plenty of sauce and veggies especially bean sprouts which was really nice and a hefty portion. Two to three meals for sure. The Bangkok chicken was tasty and well sauced with plenty of chicken and a heaping amount of rice to go along with it. Lastly the ragoons were hot and crispy and a good amount of filling.

Their sign is easy to see as you drive by, but my friend did give me a heads up that their door was not obvious. You need to walk through a fence and then open a non deacript door. The artwork outside is awesome! When we walked in we received a friendly greeting and were quickly shown to our seats. We had made a reservation ahead of time and there was no delay to seat us upon our arrival. Our server was friendly and took our drink orders right away. I appreciated that they had multiple non alcoholic drinks and at a fair price. I started with the Thai Iced tea which was delicious, but I would have loved a glass 2x the size! We ordered multiple dishes to share amongst us. I did ask the server how many dishes they recommended that we order as I wasn't sure of the size. The items are brought out as they are made, so we had food being dropped off to is at random intervals. The only slight issue we experienced was when someone else tried to bring a plate of squid to our table. We let them know that we had not ordered it. They then went and talked to our server, who brought the squid back to our table. We also let them know that we had not ordered that dish. Our server did bring back our order slip and looked it over, and I believe at that point they realized that we really had not ordered that dish and just weren't rejecting it. I am not sure if it had been written wrong, communicated to the kitchen wrong, or what but we did have to state multiple times that we had not ordered it. The rest of our dishes arrived correctly. The crispy chive cakes were great, and the sticky spare ribs were AMAZING. The caramel glaze on the outside of the ribs was so good, and they were tender as well. The outside was super crispy. I would absolutely ordered these again. I would say that both of those dishes were only for 2 people. The sticky rice and jasmine rice were as to be expected, and I personally felt that the papaya salad was not as good as others I have had. The chilli noodles had an amazing broth and I would also recommend. Overall, I did enjoy our dinner but I am not sure that I would go out of my way to return. I am rounding up to 4 stars based on the sticly ribs alone, otherwise a 3.5 would be more fair. I have been hearing about Takoi for years, so maybe my epxections were too high but I was expecting a bit more.

I did try the coconut soup that was an explosion of coconut on my palate which I totally enjoyed. I took some on a visit to a friend in a nearby town and she kept raving about how good it was.

As regulars, my daughter and I truly appreciate the decor with the high bronze ceiling and elegant and decorative golden chandeliers. The food is certainly a delight for the palate. I definitely recommend this Thai Restaurant for the great food, wonderful service and great ambiance.

We started with Old Fashioneds, which were very good, although it did take a while for our drinks to arrive. Our server was friendly and attentive, but they were clearly very busy, and there was a wait by the time we were leaving. For appetizers, we ordered both the Devil Goons--seafood rangoons made with Sriracha and ghost chili peppers--and the regular rangoons. The Devil Goons were excellent; I had never had spicy rangoons before, and it was a great twist. The regular rangoons, however, were just okay in comparison. I ordered the red curry and thought it was just alright. I asked for medium spice, which was tolerable, but it lacked the rich coconut milk and curry flavors I'm used to from other places. My friends ordered fried rice, and their portions were noticeably larger than mine. For a similar price point, the portion sizes felt inconsistent. That said, they really enjoyed the fried rice. Overall, it's a cool spot to check out and clearly very popular. If I return, I'd skip the red curry. I'd also recommend making a reservation if you're planning ahead.
