Thai Taste, Charlotte, NC

For those of you who read this blog on a regular basis, you will know that Thai food is definite favorite of mine. I recently tried Thai Taste, located closed to uptown on East Blvd for lunch on a Tuesday.

When we arrived the place was packed with a whole range of different people. There were police officers, office workers, construction workers and others all crammed in eating delicious looking food.

The restaurant is fairly small, maybe with 15 tables but there were plenty of staff. The menu for lunch is limited to 7 options which at first I was slightly put off by, but thinking about it, with as busy as it was, limiting the menu makes sense. I chose Pud Prig Pow (number 2 on the menu) which was listed as “Your choice of meat stir-fried with chili sauce, carrots, green beans, mushrooms, cabbages, bell peppers and fresh basil leaves”.

Each meal came with a bowl of soup ( a chicken, vegetable combination when we went), a spring roll, Jasmine rice and iced tea included. You also have the choice of meat or seafood to add to your main course.

The soup was very light and flavorful. I very much enjoyed that as an appetizer. My main course though was stunning. The vegetables were fresh and a little crunchy, the chicken was seasoned just right and the chilli sauce was not overpowering. Looking around, a lot of other customer were eating a noodle based dish that looked amazing…I will try that next time!

I give Thai Taste 4 ½ stars out of 5 for excellent service and good quality food.
