First of all - this place is immaculate! It must get s thorough scrub every day.The menu is large and the food portions are generous. The staff are very friendly and attentive. My sashimi was just below excellent, as the octopus had ice crystals all through it. (I know. Just a minor detail, but I don't want my 'pus to crunch.) The yellowfin was delicious and the eel was exceptional!The soup I had was full of veggies and tofu cubes. Best $4 I've spent in a long time.Atmosphere is nicely minimal. Warm and relaxing. Closed on Mondays. I'll be coming back here - often.Hengsthai.com

As one would expect, the menu had the basics from Thai, Chinese, and Japanese. (No Thai for the lunches.) I got a Teriyaki Salmon Bento Box. Salad dressing tasteless, Sushi good texture but also tasteless, Salmon perfect. Lots of rice. Good service.

My daughter was home from college and we had finished a work out at the Planet Fitness nearby, so we weren't looking for fast food, but "food fast" for lunch. When we arrived, around 12:15 pm, a couple of tables were occupied out of about 20 total, and I figured we got there before the lunch crowd, based on the other reviews. It stayed pretty quiet in there, and the very polite waiter brought us to a clean table with white linen napkins. He provided water ASAP and the $9 lunch specials menu. There were many options, including choice of meat ( chicken, beef, pork) and the relative "spice heat factor" was marked in asterisks. I ordered the drunken noodles with beef and my daughter ordered the pad thai chicken. We both ordered the coconut soup of the day, and I ordered mine with a side of chicken curry rolls and she ordered the spring roll, side. All was fresh, tasty and crisp.The pad thai and drunken noodles were excellent and the portions were plentiful. They provide metal chop sticks if your dexterous and a fork if you need one. The waiter kept our water glasses full and visited at regular intervals to see if everything was OK.He provided containers for our leftovers and asked if there was anything else we'd like to try. I said we would try the stickey rice, and he asked if we wanted the mango type or banana with beans type. We took the banana one, after he said they were out of Tira Misu. The rice was served with double portions so we could both have our own, same price.In summary, the portions are large enough to cover the $9 price, the quality and service, exceeded the total cost of the visit. We left stuffed and satisfied after a great gym workout. Highly recommended. (See pics)
