Len and I were craving a curry and I didn't have the time to make it at home. We headed out to Thai Bistro, which is less than a mile from our home. Friends had eaten there and said how good it was. The restaurant is in a strip mall on the south side of Main Street, fairly close to U.S.19. There is limited parking in front of the building. Upon entering we were greeted immediately and we asked for a booth. Booths were at the sides and tables in the middle. We both wanted a glass of iced water as we were expecting hot curry. Our server came back and helped us decide on our meals. Len asked for a hot curry so he got the Thai Red Curry with chicken and rice. I asked for medium and received the Thai Green Curry with shrimp and rice. Our meals came out very quickly. We both got a dish of curry. Then the server spooned a little rice on our plates and took it away. Len didn't like his meal at all and only ate the chicken. He said he couldn't taste the curry sauce. I had 7 large fan tailed shrimp and mine was good. I ate half of it over the rice. When our server came back I asked for mine to be boxed and could they put some rice in for me to take home. We have the entertainment book card so Len's meal was free. With the tip it came to $14. I would have been upset if it had cost double that. The decor and service were excellent. Just not the food we were expecting.

I had heard about this restaurant from friends. Today we gave it a try. We were met at the door by a very attentive server. he asked if we would like a booth or a table. We chose a booth. In one corner there was a table if you wanted to sit down on the floor. The layout was very authentic. The server asked what we would like to drink. We were both boring and had a glass of water. He gave us the menu and I asked what he recommended. This was my first time in a Thai restaurant. He recommended Thai red curry with chicken for me and Thai green curry for my wife. When he brought out the rice he put two spoons of rice on each plate and took the rice away. When our meals arrived mine looked very undesirable. I tasted it and I eat a small amount and gave up. It was not spicy enough for me. My wife had shrimp and enjoyed it very much. She even brought some home. She had to ask for more rice. Overall it was not to my liking. I suppose it was because I lived in the India area and love their spicy curries.
