I must start this post by saying that it is INCREDIBLY difficult and, quite frankly, ridiculously infuriating to find parking at Little Bangkok. You may be thinking to yourself, "Madison, it's a restaurant; there is no way it is that complicated." but oh, how wrong you are! This is hair-tearing-out levels of frustration... particularly when you're hangry.
That was our first attempt at dining with Little Bangkok.
Our second time around, we cut out the BS and parked two blocks away in a CVS parking lot since there are approximately 2.5 parking spots at Little Bangkok (okay, technically, there are about 5 spots, but they are always full AND the restaurant allows double parking). So, plan accordingly, Readers.
The food, however, is 100% worth all the parking drama.
Little Bangkok is the quintessential hole-in-the-wall kind of restaurant complete with wall-to-wall decorations, a cramped dinning room, and very quick service. That's not to say that you feel rushed at any point, but the waitstaff is on point and as a former server, I greatly appreciate that level of efficiency. Fortunately for us, we both knew what we wanted within a couple of minutes and I would say we chose wisely.
I started with the Tom Ka Soup, which is a hot, sour, coconut milk soup with chicken, mushrooms, and green onion. That may sound unappealing, but I promise that you will not regret ordering it. For me, the soup tastes like rainbows, sunshine, and unicorns... but, that's just my opinion. Try it for yourself and thank me later.
For the entree, I ordered my go-to: Pad Thai. For those of you that live under a rock and are not familiar with this delicious dish... I'll explain. Pad Thai is pan friend rice noodles with chicken or shrimp, egg, bean sprouts, green onion, topped with ground peanut and the tears of angels. It is delightful in every way and has since ruined all other Thai restaurants moving forward. Thanks, Little Bangkok.
For dessert, we ordered a wheel-barrow to roll me back to the car.
But seriously, since Little Bangkok is a Thai/Chinese restaurant, we ended the meal with fortune cookies. Funny enough, my fortune read something to the affect of, "You deserve respect and will soon earn it."
You heard the cookie - start respecting me! Oh, and go eat at Little Bangkok. Now.
