Red Basil Thai Kitchen 05-02-2009

Location: 32-47 Steinway St. Astoria
Time: 6pm
People: RB and myself

Feelings: We cheated on Astoria's best Thai place, Poodam, and ordered from a new place called Red Basil Thai Kitchen on Steinway. They were much more courteous than Poodam, delivery was quick, and they even got us free fried bananas. However, I still sustain my first line: "Astoria's best Thai place, Poodam." Their spicy noodle and Singapore noodle we ordered had absolutely no flavor, and noodles were overcooked. They were not spicy at all, so we had to add Sriracha and oyster sauce we had in our fridge. I would much rather forget the free fried bananas and get our usual service from Poodam and their awesomely spicy Pad Kee Mao. Are we ever going to find a better Thai than Poodam in Astoria? The saga continues.
