Mini-Review: Arun's Thai Restaurant

Arun's thai - exterior

Note: this also appears with my reviews over on Yelp.

For 2.5 hours (it takes awhile to get through 12 courses) this past Saturday night we felt like judges on Iron Chef.

The food had its highs and lows, which I attribute more to my unorthodox tastes than anything else. Highlights included a beef curry and rice that was exceptional. Every other beef curry I have ever had was canned Chef Boyardee by comparison. Phenomenal. Also, the coconut and ginger concoction served within a leaf (didn't catch what kind) was sublime.

Service was good, but not spectacular. Not sure if our primary server was new or if the place was understaffed for the night, but we had a couple of hiccups and prolonged absences along the way.

Definitely a unique experience, glad we went.
