Everything about this place makes me happy. The food, staff, atmosphere is all top notch. The fried pork belly has an amazing crust all while the meat stays tender and moist. The garlic and chive pancakes are tasty with an incredible sauce to go along with it. These hand pulled noodles they offer have a great texture and chew. Just walking inside you can smell the basil and it lets you know you are in for a treat. Hurry up and try them out!
Overall, we had a good experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was nice however, the only item we weren't happy with was the G and Tonic drink. I'm not a fan of sweet drinks, but this one was so bitter that I couldn’t drink it. Also, be aware that there are no substitutions available here. We typically enjoy spicy food, so my partner opted for the Thai spice level and found it to be a fine level of heat. I chose the mild spice level and that was enough spice for me. The portion sizes were small but satisfying. I would say it's worth visiting at least once to give it a try.
This is going to be an unpopular opinion but I just didn’t think it was that great. My expectations were sky high as this place has been winning all of the awards from James beard to Michelin. It appears their space is newer than the place that was in many of the previous reviews so wonder if that has any impact. It’s located on the east end and the venue itself is well built out but the surrounding area is still sketchy. Mostly street parking but there is a small lot. Once inside the place is decorated well and the vibes remind me of Montrose with lots of loud eclectic music, hardcore trap to edm to hip hop. The bass was really hitting. As far as the food, just a heads up everything will come out pretty spicy. They give you a warning but most of the group felt the dishes were just too darn spicy. The best dish of the night was the fried egg appetizer, it’s quite interesting and nothing I have had at any other place before. The drunken noodles were solid, but nothing mind blowing, could be found at most places in town. Only difference is that it’s kicked up on the spice by default. The Khao Soi is okay the meat is very tender. The crispy chicken lard comes out dry and the topping once again is super spicy. The green curry was very light, a little bland even. Ended the meal with the mango sticky rice, once again good, but nothing special. Just hard to justify the prices when there are so many other amazing Thai places in town. The service was very good as they work as a team and it seems everyone is willing to help.
This is a great Thai place to try. The upbeat vibes for dinner makes it seem like a club or lounge but with the restaurant feel. We got the Khao soi, which was excellent with the soft tender beef and great spices and flavors of the broth. The noodles were also very delicious and chewy. The papaya salad was also great with a nice kick and refreshing. The green curry was also very excellent with good broth to go with the rice. All dishes are thai mild and is actually pretty spicy to keep in kind. I had the Bangkok 75 cocktail that was great. The bartenders and staff were very nice and attentive and accommodating.
The food at Street to Kitchen was delicious — everything we tried was packed with flavor and really well done. The serving sizes, though, felt a bit on the small side. We ordered six dishes and one small plate for four people, and it still felt like we could have used a bit more food to feel full. I miss the charm of the old gas station spot, but I’m glad the new location can accommodate more people. Overall, still a yummy and memorable meal!
