New Thai Restaurant in Southington CT

On our way up to Hartford saturday night to see Cirque Du Soleil we stopped at a new thai place on Queen St across the street from the Hollywood "Gentlemens Club". Sorry but this was the only landmark I could think of. I can't remember the name of the restaurant. It's located in a small bldg right on Queen St and there is a sign out front that says "Thai Restaurant". My partner found out about this place from a coworker, it's only been open for a few months. The inside was very nicely decorated and it was very clean, right down to the men's room, which was interesting with all the candles everywhere. We started out with the fried calamari which was a bit tough but flavorful with the accompanying chili sauce. We both had thai chicken curries, I had the yellow and I can't remember which one my partner had but they were both flavorful and mine had just enough heat, I don't like my food flavored too hot. My curry had chicken, carrots, potatoes,pineapple,coconut milk and so on. The portions were good size, I took half of mine home with me. I know most of you never seem to find anything in Southington but this place is now an option. On the way to 84 going towards Plainville we also noticed a sushi place on Queen St that we have not seen before so there is another new option too.

I dined with a friend for lunch this weekend and it was my first experience with Thai food--I have to say, it was excellent. I had the drunken noodles (after reading the rave review in this post) and they were amazing, really. I cannot wait to go back and have them again! My friend had the beef pad thai and that's something she gets on a regular basis and she very much enjoyed it. Very small place (probably holds about 40 ppl or so) with an even-smaller parking area, but well worth the trip.

I've now been back two more times since my original post. We've had the crispy green beans every time - and they are so yummy! So far they have been consistent with every dish we've ordered. My second time there I tried the Chicken Pad Thai. Just fantastic! Then this weekend I tried Chicken Satay (since we had a larger group and needed more than one appetizer) and #71 on the menu (can't think of the name and the website seems to be down at the moment) - but everyone at the table was fighting me for it. I just adored the Drunken Noodles the first time I went - and I have to say it's going to be a VERY tough choice next time I go because #71 was just as fantastic. I can't think of the names of the dishes that other members of the party had - but I do remember one was just above mine (#70) and I was very pleased with the taste that was offered to me. Lunch is the best time to go and give this place a try.

We stopped in for lunch this weekend. I think this is now our favorite Thai restaurant - it surpasses every other we've been to in the area. We started off with Thai Iced Teas - they were fantastic. Definitely the best we've had. For an appetizer we tried the crispy green beans. They had a very light crispy exterior - not greasy - served with a great zesty ranch style sauce (for lack of a better description - not sure what was in it). I believe the crispy green beans were a daily special - they should definitely add this as a regular menu item because I'm hooked now. For our main dish I tried the drunken noodles (after seeing so many people recommend it) and I must say they were TO DIE FOR good.

The bathrooms were very nice and the kitchen looked spotless. The only thing I could find wrong was the limited parking available. If you like Thai food - this is a must visit!

we've gone there a few times, it's great. tiny place, so make a reservation if it's more than 3 or 4. my husband loves the mussaman curry, i like the crab fried rice with added shrimp. there's a salad with ground chicken that's spicy and oniony and really good. i've been with friends who enjoyed the thai iced coffee, but i can definitely say the canteloupe smoothie was fresh and ripe. great spot when it was 99 degrees in CT!
