Eastland
It's exciting to have lived in this city for twenty years and still encounter under the radar fantastic finds!

Inside a Thai grocer, in a small strip mall, is a nondescript white door with an adhesive sign above that reads 'entrance'.

On the other side of that door is Bangkok Restaurant a super cute and inviting dining space with an abundance of friendly staff members.

The menu is spiral bound with page after page of potential culinary delights.

For this first trip, I went with a Thai iced tea and Pad Kee Mao, wide noodles with egg, hot chili, fresh basil, green onions, tomato, shrimp, and chicken.

I'm by no means a Thai food connoisseur, but this dish was incredibly flavorful and very well composed. The Thai iced tea was refreshing with milk and maybe cinnamon? 

All of the food coming out of the kitchen was beautifully plated and made want to return again and again to check off more of their menu selections.

Staff was wonderful. Room was spotless. Great food and drink opportunities. Valet service was exceptional. Had to deal with a large conference at the same time which presented many challenges though.
