The curry we tried definitely did not taste made from scratch.sophocleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03619794822543934239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-46953676371309419482018-07-20T12:44:51.357-04:002018-07-20T12:44:51.357-04:00This restaurant was once very good for many years,...This restaurant was once very good for many years, I started going there in 2006, and it was good maybe up until 2015, then some of the regular workers (a really pleasant woman with long dark hair, and perhaps her husband or brother), went back to Thailand. <br /><br />The food went progressively downhill, even though apparently the same chefs stayed on, two women, one quite old, and one middle aged. <br /><br />I reflected on this and think they must have cut costs due to rising rents. I noticed the quality of the chicken in particular went down, among other things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-46835455637645473552018-07-19T15:04:12.954-04:002018-07-19T15:04:12.954-04:00Oh no!

I wish they would have let others know they were closing so we could have had one last meal. While from the outside it looked like a hole the wall, it really was some of the best Thai I've ever had. The staff were humble and hard working too. So many closings this year thus far.

I feel less complete now. Some of my favorite food in the world, and one of my favorite THINGS about this whole city. These people can really cook. There are many Thai eateries in the city but this one's irreplaceable.<br /><br />To all you people reading this who are surprised to hear that EVT was the best Thai food in the neighborhood, you missed out. You weren't in on this particular cool secret.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-13576485973867879452018-07-19T11:08:40.418-04:002018-07-19T11:08:40.418-04:00Seriously the best Thai I've ever had, and nic...Seriously the best Thai I've ever had, and nice people.
