Maybe I should have gone for their plain cheeseburger, but I thought […]

I don’t, sorry, as far as I know he’s no longer in Buenos Aires, left a couple of years ago to move out to the countryside somewhere. Every now and again I run into him at an event here in town.

I am an old friend of Kevin Rodriguez formerly of Empire Thai. We lost touch and I am trying to locate him. Do you have an email or contact info?

I have ordered take-out each time, so I cannot comment much on service or ambiance, however, each time I stop in to pick up my food everyone is pleasant and it seems to be a nice, comfortable place to dine. My two favorite dishes so far are the Pineapple Duck Curry and the Pad Thai. I’ve never been a big fan of duck, but it is so moist and tender in their curry! Pad Thai is a natural favorite, and I have no complaints about theirs. I’ve ordered a few different of the appetizers and haven’t been very overwhelmed with the quality or variety. The menu descriptions make the appetizers sound much fancier than they really are, and they are quite pricey. On that note, the whole menu is quite pricey, so ordering Thai Talay is always a little splurge for myself.Overall, I am a fan… just wish the prices were a bit lower and wish they would include a small side of rice with their curry dishes (rice is extra cost). I think I’ll stop experimenting with their appetizers, and stick to the main dishes. I’m branching out a little more each time I order!
