great lunch specials. the best deal in thai food for lunch is at thai cuisine ii. only $4.95, great selection, and all come with soup and egg roll! what's more, they serve the specials all the way up until 3:00 pm. weekdays only, unfortunately. they are open saturday lunch, but evenings only on sunday.
don't let the fact that the building used to be a der wienerschnitzel deter you. when you walk in, take a sharp right -- if you go straight through the doors in front of you, you'll end up in the kitchen! the dining room is nice, once you get into it, and there is also a bar (no alcohol, i don't think) for individual seating.
the food is good but not great. my objection to their massaman curry is that the potatoes are barely more than quartered. each chunk is at least 2 by 2 inches, making it rather difficult to eat with chopsticks.
the owner is a card, one of the funniest waiters i've ever had the pleasure to be served by. he truly made the meal a delight.
they have a lot of competition, with orchid thai virtually across the street, bangkok and thai house (formerly thai ginger) a mile away, and mom thai 2 miles away. i would rate thai cuisineii#4 out of the five restaurants.
they also have another location out on the west side that i ate at once. the food was good. i ate there on saturday, so i don't know whether they have lunch specials or not.
