S & I Thai

Along a strip of many small, casual ethnic restaurants, S & I Thai is a solid option for quick, cheap, and flavorful bites. Menu is extensive with plenty of noodle, curry, and protein (poultry, beef, pork, seafood) options. Spicy string beans, in a creamy red curry sauce, are of course heavy on the vegetables, also including pepper and snow peas. Cashews and peanuts round out the texture of the dish. Served with a side of rice or noodles.

Duck Choo Chee comes with a very similar sauce as in the spicy string beans. Plenty of vegetables (tomato, mushroom, pepper, onion), pineapple, and Thai basil with a small amount of tender duck. The variety in consistency of vegetables, pineapple, and duck make this a complex and interesting dish.

Other options include the dinner specials where you can pair a noodle or curry dish with your choice of soup (get Tom Kha) and appetizer (get Gyoza dumpling). For the truly adventurous, try pad ga pow moo krob with crispy pork and peppers in a spicy Thai basil sauce. One of the spiciest dishes (three stars) this reviewer has sampled. Note that S & I has dishes with up to five stars.
