This place was pretty close to our hotel and had very good
ratings on yelp so we decided to stop in on a Thursday night. This is the kind
of place you would call a hole in the wall, definitely not the prettiest place.
Inside there were only six tables. When we came in there were two guys that got
up to make room for us because they said they were just ordering takeout. But
we actually sat at the other table that was available because it worked better
for us. Pretty soon menus were brought to our table along with ice water with
lemon. When the waiter came back to take our orders he never did ask for our
drink orders but water was fine for all of us. My dad and I both got the stir-fried
silver noodles with chicken I got heat level 2 and that night dad decided to
get zero or no spice added to his. And mom ordered the cashew chicken with spice
level 2. In a bit after we ordered they brought out a plate for my mom and then
after that a bowl of rice for my mom’s dish. And then real soon after mine and
dad’s noodle dishes and mom’s cashew chicken in a bowl came out.
The Silver
noodle dish with chicken also had broccoli, carrots, onions, cabbage, egg and a
very good sauce with chili sprinkled on top and dads without that and also raw
bean sprouts on the side which neither of us really cared for. The egg in the
dish was not over fried like you sometimes get with similar dishes. This was
downright delicious and definitely the best Thai food I’ve ever had although I’ve
only been to a handful of places.
Mom’s cashew chicken was great as well. The sauce was exceptional. The level 2 spice
on both of our entrées was kind of a bit spicy. Mom said if we go back she
would get the level 1. I thought it was a bit spicy too, but I think I still
might get the level 2. This whole meal was so good, but unfortunately I ran out
of room and couldn’t eat any more of it although it was so good I wish I could
have.
After they took our plates away they delivered the check and three little
dishes with a scoop of green tea ice cream. If I read green tea ice cream on
the menu I definitely would not order it. But since it was included and they
brought it out I tried it out and it was actually very good and a lot better
than I would’ve expected it to be. This was a perfect way to end a great meal.
The outside and inside of the building weren’t exactly too appealing but that’s
where some of the best food is found and this was especially the case with Chanpen
Thai Cusine.
