will visit again. my dining companion and i visited neisha thai cuisine shortly before 7:00 pm on a friday evening and were seated promptly. they were running a special on singha beer of three for two bottles and were even offering tastings as we were seated. we took advantage of that special.
we began our dining experience by sharing an order of the yum talay appetizer. we both liked the squid, mussels, and shrimp as well as the light lime-fish sauce dressing, but we did not think it was very spicy.
for entrees, i had the crying tiger steak, which was done very well. thesteakwas well seasoned and grilled and cut into thin pieces. most required a bit of additional cutting to make them bite-sized, but they were tender enough to cut easily. there was also a light fish-sauce, pepper, and onion sauce in a small bowl, sticky rice in a nifty bamboo container and some steamed vegetables. the vegetables were bland, but everything else was very good. i enjoyed the sauce on the rice more than on thesteakas thesteakwas delicious by itself.
my companion had the pattaya noodles, which had a heat rating of two peppers (the highest i saw on menu was three and there were very few of those). in retrospect, the protein in this dish was very similar to our appetizer so something else may have been a better choice for added variety, but the cooking styles for both were different. crab meat was in this dish and not the appetizer and the addition of the noodles was another difference. the sauce for this dish was a thicker and spicier one which we both enjoyed. the seafood was tender and flavorful and the noodles were plentiful, tasty, and had a good consistency.
overall, we agreed neisha thai cuisine was definitely worth another visit.
