text: I have to admit - growing up in LA I became somewhat of a Thai food snob.  When we moved to the Northwest 'burbs of Las Vegas, we were certainly surprised when we discovered Pin Kaow in a very nondescript strip mall so close to home.  Really wonderful food that easily rivals any we had in LA's Thai Town. \n\nThe NW space has expanded over the years - but the interior has always been pleasant with wood floors and tasteful Thai art on the walls.  The wait staff are in traditional-style attire and flawlessly pleasant.  We usually get the pad thai and panang curry - at a spice level of 6 or so.  The food is wonderful - with my only gripe being that the spice level seems to fluctuate wildly from chef to chef.  Sometimes a 6 is just right, sometimes the heat is barely there.\n\nNow, if only they could import Thai Elvis...
