Thai Isan House - New Braunfels
Grouse K9 Every once in a while I wish I could give a place six stars. This is that place! Came here on a pleasant day and sat outside. Walk in, and a waiter will follow you to a your pick table. The seating inside is TINY so make sure its a nice day so you can eat outside. Today was AWESOME. How often do you get to eat outside in NewB when its a little above 70?
I went all in and stuffed myself. And I say that willingly and gladly. I saw on the menu board they were having an appetizer special that I certainly couldnt resist: soft shelled crabs! For that, I get weak in the knees. So I ordered my own appetizer to split with no one but myself. I was in heaven. Hog heaven. Yeah, I was being a pig. Oink, oink Im happy as a pig in ....! It tasted superb. I wasnt expecting much and it hit it out of the park. There were also two Thai "dipping" sauces. I tried both and loved both. I cant begin to describe them other than good & tasty.
I followed that up with a Massaman Curry. I can never pass it up on a menu and it never disappoints. The only thing is that I think EVERY restaurant interprets it differently and not even closely the same. The menu said it was Massaman Curry with brisket so I laughed when the waiter asked me what protein. Brisket? I dont think he read the menu or understood so I said beef. Boy it was GOOD. This version was a sweet coconut curry with a slight amount of heat and very temp hot. I loved it with brown rice.
Waiter was great. Plenty of pleasant outside seating. Crazy good food. Im now hooked. I need to troll thru the menu more and avoid having my own App!
