text: It was difficult to get past the smell of the place when I opened the front doornnGrowing up in oil and cattle country the only thing I could compare the faint odor that I experienced when opening the front door was standing in a field where there was an oil well next to a feedlot Between the smell of manure and fresh oil the combination is vivid and unforgettable Unfortunately this was what greeted me when I walked into Tasty ThainnI had placed an order for Som Tom Thai hot and an order of jasmine rice to go The papaya salad had all the requisite notes lime chile spicy and sweetthe portion size was respectable cups of salad and cup of ricethe spice came in at about makes my nose run while makes my forehead sweat and brings tears to my eyes and the rice was OK not too sticky and not too drynnI want to give this place higher marks because the waitress was greatand the chef came out to say hellobut that smell just took about all the desire I had for Som Tom out of my eveningnnGotta hope this changes
