5 miles 1 mile half mile 3 blocks 1 block Mark M. Hancock Thai orange beef is artfully presented at Thai Garden. The peaceful feeling pervaded right from the start as we were given small bowls of intensely spicy broth, full of vegetables such as crunchy baby corn and chewy mushrooms. Our appetites whetted, we headed to the salad bar, included with our entree. It became something special, though, when glazed with a sweet, translucent dressing that foreshadowed what was to come.
Soy sauce is dispensed the same way.
Typical Thai dishes abounded on the menu. Also garnished with cabbage and fresh mint leaves, it was almost too pretty to eat. The menu lists sodas, Thai coffee and iced tea as options, but water is the only beverage we were offered during our visit. The quiet dining room with a bamboo mat on the wall and simple but interesting wooden furniture make Thai Garden a good bet for a midday escape. Tell us what you think.
