My photo gallery 		Thai Garden is right next to the bowling alley, Bowlers Paradise. Judging from the interior, it appears to probably be the original decoration when it was a snack shop or whatever it was..vinly seats, candy counter, old school bootts and tables. I would date it back to late 60s or 70s.

Eddie and I wanted to try something new today, so we decided on Thai Garden. We didnt know anyone thats tried it so why not. When it comes to Thai food, Im extremely cautious when ordering my food spicey hot. I know I can tolerate super hot food but Thai is absolutely one of those cuisines that will hit you the next morning. I went with medium spice chicken with Thai Basil.

Along with out plates was some thai soup. I dont know what it was called but it was salty. I dont think I finished it. Service was friendly and my water was filled 2-3 times throughout the lunch. After a short wait, our dishes were delivered and ready to eat. I was somewhat disappointed with the servings. They were quite small and knew my $7 meal would require me to eat 2-3 hours later. There wasnt even that much chicken...take a look at the picture 5. The chicken was tender but like the soup, it was salty. For something rated medium spicey, this would rate sweet in other Thai restaurants. The brown rice was good but thats all I can say.

I would like to give Thai Garden another try but for the price and portions, its makes it quite difficult for that return visit. Well, if the food doesnt please you, at least you can walk next door and go bowling.
