 Superb
My wife and I were travelling through Dodge City last Sunday and stopped for lunch at Sarocha Thai restaurant. What an incredible place! This was without a doubt the best Thai restaurant I have ever been in in the US. Everything was made fresh and to order. The chef even made a fantastic dipping sauce from fresh chilis, lime juice and nam pla ( nuc mam) at my request. The spring rolls not only tasted great but were a work of art. Another appetizer we had---- potato delights which were a hollowed out potato, deep fried and then stuffed with chicken and green curry, was something I've never seen anywhere before and was delicious. My entree was whole tilapia with red curry sauce and my wife had pineapple fried rice. I can't begin to describe how good the fish was, perfectly juicy and flaky with a coconut milk based red curry to die for. My wife's fried rice was excellent also.
Some of the complaints about the slowness of the service are not really valid and I hope this place doesn't change at all. Good food takes time. If you want fast food, go to one of the chains like Applebees and get a nice, microwaved, overpriced, tasteless meal made up in corporate headquarters and it will come out real fast and you can get exactly the same thing in Emporia Topeka and hundreds of other places across the US.
This restaurant is a real gem; the food is sublime, the atmosphere and service are perfect and the dishes are unique. The chef came out and talked to us afterwards and brought us some homemade tapioca pudding. She obviously puts a lot of love into what she makes and it comes through in every delicious bite. I wish I lived closer so I could try everything on the menu.  |
