Viv and I popped into Duke's today for a late lunch. This is definitely my No. 2 Thai place in town. Sorry, Duke's, but Mai Thai has held my loyalty for many years now, but I like you guys too!
Viv is a big fan of the Thai Tom Yum soup at Duke's, so that's her go-to when we come here. Their description is spicy sour base with mushrooms, red peppers, basil and cilantro. Viv likes hers with extra mushrooms. Also, she likes to order the large bowl, so there's more for supper tonight.
I chose a dish I haven't had in quite a while and have missed. Pad See Eew. Duke's description of this dish is wide rice noodles with egg, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and zucchini in a Thai soy sauce. Mine today also had some bean sprouts, so BONUS! It was delicious and as good as I remember.
If, by chance, you haven't made it across the river to Duke's, get on it! They also have a separate, yet together restaurant on site that specializes in bahn mi. The two are under one roof, open to each other, so you can order from either side or both. This is great for when you're with friends and someone might want pho or curry and the others wants boba tea and bahn mi sandwich. Check them out!
