Especially when we have some VERY GOOD Thai restaurants in the SF Bay
Area. And I think a lot of Thai restaurants seem to use family recipes
so you can have a little difference between places.
I found Indian restaurant so-so in Fairfield and I also ate at a
California style pasta restaurant which indeed reminded me of many of
the pasta restaurants around here.... except for the ones run by
expatriate Italians. We have one really good Trattoria about 2 miles
from here that I like to take out-of-town folks to.

This stuff is like crack when we come to town. Make sure you come in
when it is fresh. (After dome is good) We cant get enough of the
creamy coconut potato dish. And the tofu and squash dish as well. They
both go great mixed with the fried rice. The noodles are good
sparingly when super fresh.
I cannot find anything like this in California. Sigh... Fairfield,
must you taunt me so!

The reason you'll never find a Thai restaurant like this in California
is because you can usually find actual Thai people voluntarily living
in the coastal regions of the country, and very few of them are likely
to express an interest in consuming the watered-down Grandy's buffet
slop this dismal little cafeteria tries to pass off as an exotic Asian
experience. If I were forced to explain their longevity, I would have
to say that I believe they remain in business primarily because of the
cult school up the road--an institution which seems to supply them
with a steady stream of stoned Dave Matthews fans, all of whom would
be lucky to successfully locate Thailand on a map after
hyperventilating through the magic levitation classes their hippie
parents pay for just because John Lennon told them to in a dream.

They nickname this place "Thai Smelly".It's small town Midwest buffet
meets new age crowd.Absolutely awful food.It's dirt cheap for a
reason.I mean honestly, I don't know how this place survives - I
wouldn't eat here if it was free.
