Thaiphoon - Palo Alto

I grew up in the area, so I've seen a lot of restaurants come and go around University Avenue. There's a reason Thaiphoon stays when so many (often really good) restaurants have fallen. They make seriously great food. Whenever I come back for a visit, my family and I always make a point of going to Thaiphoon. I do have some menu items I especially like, but I've yet to be disappointed by a new menu item. This place is the best.

The spicy eggplant dish was lacking in eggplant, and the prawn dishes were lacking in prawns. The Thai cuisine was mediocre overall.

Fair food. Not bad, not great. Fine service. There are probably better options in the area.

The food at this restaurant is good. The curries are the best I've eaten in the area. The decor is getting old and needs to be updated. Some of the servers are good others not.

We made a reservation but were kept waiting for over an hour. To make matters worse, when we inquired about the delay, we received exceptionally poor service, prompting us to ultimately leave.
