A quick review - Studio Thai

Media_httpphilspraybl_zaywp
For my birthday my wife booked us a table at a new thai restaurant which has just opened in town. She told me we were going out to eat but kept the choice of venue a secret. I was pleased when I realised where we were going as the place is right near work and I've been walking past for the last few weeks thinking I would really like to give it a try. The restaurant itself is quite large and airy with a nice traditional yet modern feel to it. I'm guessing that they hope to grow over time as there were loads of tables and I can't imagine it is full very often. The menu was a good mixture of classic thai food and other asian style dishes including excellent noodles.
We started off with a thai platter, which included dumplings, prawn toast and vegetable rolls. It was a good mix with plenty of flavour and a good size for the two of us, although those with larger appetites might be left wanting a little. The food came pretty quickly after being ordered and an explanation of which accompanying sauce to complement which item was a nice touch.
For main I went for the Massaman Gha which is a lamb curry with peanuts, carrots, onions and potatoes, along with some traditional thai jasmine rice. I found it to be a very good choice with the curry having just the right level of spice. The rice was good too although possibly a bit too sticky for some. Sheri chose Pad Gra-tiem Phric Tai which is a stir-fry with garlic, mushrooms, and spring onions. She also went for the Chow Mein noodles which I also tried and were very good although the portion was bigger than either of us could manage.
Overall we found the service to be excellent and the food to be very good, although a little on the expensive side when the bill arrived. I really hope that Studio Thai continues to do well as they certainly have made a promising start.
