Roong Fah - 2008

I tried the pad thai noodles at Roong Fah. I did not like it. The scrambled eggs in the pad thai noodles were runny. Either the noodles were not hot enough to cook the scrambled eggs or they failed to cook the scrambled eggs and pad thai in the wok.

I also tried their seafood noodles. It was a mess too. They just didn't have a concept of how to cook seafood with noodles. Its as if they gave up and dumped some black bean sauce and lots of black pepper and said there, eat that.

Drive up farther on Valley Blvd, and go to the Green Papaya.

Tasty Thai Cafe - 2008

I tried the pad thai at Tasty Thai Cafe, it was descent. On another visit I tried their Thai Sausage Salad. My mind was open as to what a thai sausage would be. It turned out thai sausage was the same as chinese sausage. A sweet fatty chewy, hard, rubbery oily sausage. I was expecting something original but it was reversion to a familiar. I was disappointed.

House of Thai BBQ - 2008

While driving home I got stuck in a sig alert. Fortunately, I had bought some beef pad thai from House of Thai BBQ. I thought I was going to enjoy this at home. Nope, just put car in park and ate it right there.

On another visit I had their beef satay. I was disappointed. Their beef satay lacked juiciness, their peanut dipping sauce could not overcome the beef jerkyness to the dish.

Bell Gardens Thai BBQ - 2008

Pseudo-Thai, faux-Chinese, it doens't matter its in Bell Garden. Most of the people won't know.

Thai House Express - 2008

Thai House Express was not memorable. I'd have to visit the place again just to remember.

Thai Eagle Rox - 2007

My litmus test for any Thai place would be to see how well they can cook pad thai or barbecue chicken. If I like how well they've prepared those dishes I'll usually come back and try other parts of the menu.

My verdict for Thai Eagle Rox is I'd come back to try the other dishes in their menu.

BCD Tofu House - 2007

From the BCD Tofu House menu I had the number 17. I found it unexceptional. The fish was a small deep fried mackeral. The tofu soup consisted of ...what else tofu... in a chili soup mixture with an egg...all boiling in a very hot stone bowl. There was pickled green beans, pickled dai-go and other assorted pickled items. My disappointment was because I probably expected a bigger fish or more deep fried mackerals. It has a good variety but the whole meal wasn't filling.

Maybe the Beef and Octpus Tofu Soup might have been a better choice. Oh well, there is always a next time.
