Thai Kitchen is not that much different from any other Thai restaurant you have previously visited. The dishware is a little less authentic, using colorful fiesta-ware style plates in place of what I would consider traditional Thai dishware. The setting is a little more well-lit than other establishments, but it could have been just about any other Thai restaurant otherwise.

The Tom Kha Gai soup we started our meal off with immediately made me think that Thai Kitchen was a level above other Thai restaurants I had visited. It was full of flavor, perfectly spiced, and had a wealth of mushrooms and chicken in it. I was blown away.

Unfortunately, I can't say the same thing about the Bangkok Chicken. Their menu lists it as a "Thai Kitchen Specialty." It consists of breaded chicken sauteed in a garlic sauce and garnished with basil. I hope that the regular chef was off that night, because the meal was absolutely bland and uninspiring. I could see the garlic, I could see the basil, I could see the spices, but I couldn't taste it, anywhere.

I'm willing to give Thai Kitchen another shot based on the possibility the Tom Kha Gai showed, but I can't recommend the Bangkok Chicken.
