Soothr LIC
8.5
"hot take but im not a big fan of thai food and if it were only up to me i prob wouldn’t choose to go to a thai restaurant. but my dad LOVES thai food and LIC so we went here and i finally got to see if it was worth the hype.
the interior of this place is really nice and spacious. and as meh i am about thai food, id say what we ordered was pretty good. for context, idt i like thai food bc everything is either too spicy for me (or mildly spicy but my tongue burns the entire meal) OR too sweet for me (which is why i don’t like pad thai). HOWEVER, the pad see ew was rly yummy and i enjoyed the flavors of the duck!! this is probably the best experience i’ve had at a thai restaurant (saranrom is too spicy for me)
what i didn’t like: tom yum was too coconut milky. tom yum is the one thing i’ll gladly order at a thai place bc im malaysian lol. the steamed branzino was good and very clean (not a lot of bones) BUT it was just any regular steamed fish my dad could make. i thought it would incorporate some thai flavors or lime/spicy, but it was just like what you’d get at a cantonese restaurant… i was disappointed but this place is both thai and chinese so makes sense…
we got the special thai iced tea drink that had like cheese foam and coconut water? i do NOT like coconut water but this was a rly yummy drink i could barely taste the coconut😍" - tiff
