Thai Angel: An Angelic, Southeast-Asian Restaurant
A review of the tasty Thai spot in Soho.

 

Pad Thai
Thai Angel is a tasty lunch and dinner spot located on Grand Street in Soho. Far away from the sultry surroundings of tropical Thailand, the minimal restaurant settings of Thai Angel have been accented by paper replicas of flowers and mock hut rooftops. Other than that, the appearance of this eatery’s indoor dimension is very standard, with wooden tables and medium-dimmed lights.

The menu at Thai Angel offers all of the regular Thai selections. There are vegetarian choices, along with fish, duck, chicken, beef and pork. These protein options are cooked into meals like curry, noodles, salad and Thai Traditional Rice Plates. Some lunch specials are offered during the day, so businesses in the area order from here for take-out. The restaurant lunch crowd in Thai Angel starts getting busy after 1:00 P.M.

Green Curry
The Vegetarian Pad Thai is a little sweet, a little spicy. The noodles are served with the vegetables already stir-fried in, and there are fresh bean sprouts in the side for the diner to mix. The Green Curry with Vegetables comes with nicely deep-fried tofu. The curry itself is not too spicy, but the vegetables are properly cooked.

Thai Angel is a good place to eat for basic Thai food if you happen to be in the Soho area. For those who have not tried Thai food before, they will be given standard options for which to judge future dishes against. Regular Thai-food diners will have their idea of this type of cuisine maintained, being not overly spicy, and not too reduced to Americanized standards.
