A Welcome Addition to

BY THE WEATHERFORD FOODIE
I went for dinner with two friends searching for Asian
food on Main Street in Weatherford and found Bangkok
Thai Cuisine & Sushi Bar, located on the south end of the
same strip shopping center as Papa John’s Pizza, Sunny
Street Café, Subway and Rio Mambo. This one shopping
center provides food for a wide-variety of tastes.
The exterior is attractive with eye-catching vertical
striped awnings over the entry door and lovely landscaping throughout the entire center.
Upon entering the eatery you see a large restaurant
with many tables and booths and a sandwich board
showing the daily entrée and sushi specials. Our party
was ushered through the spotless dining area to a booth
near the 10-seat-sushi bar and we were provided menus.
The offerings included Korean barbecue, Sushi rolls,
fried rice, noodles and various types of house specialties.
Everything looked so good it was hard to choose, so
my companions decided not to. Instead, they decided
to order two entrees and share — a novel approach for
sure.
Service was attentive but not hovering, as our server
returned with our drinks and saw us straining to read

the menu in the low light conditions. Our server went
and adjusted the lights, making them brighter, which was
impressive. We never asked for this and he never said
anything about it. It’s a good example of an attentive,
observant server. WELL DONE!
I ordered the sesame chicken from the specials board
and my companions decided to share sweet and sour
chicken and pineapple fried rice with pineapple, chicken,
onions, tomatoes, eggs, raisins and roasted cashews.
We placed our dinner order and were soon treated
to a small lettuce salad, prepared with a nest of carrot
strings on top. The salad was just the right size to ignite
our hunger and tasted bright, with a definite orange/
citrus flavor in the dressing. As the beautiful dinner plates
were delivered I could see that each plate had been carefully arranged, because you eat with your eyes first. I was
hoping the food tasted as good as it looked. I wasn’t disappointed.
Each entrée was well-prepared and flavorful. The rice
was cooked just right and I especially noticed that the
chicken was not overcooked, undercooked or rubbery. The
flavors married perfectly and were all thoroughly enjoyable.
Overall, it was a very pleasant meal. There are many
options available for dessert but instead I satisfied an urge
for Blue Bell cookies and cream ice cream at home.
I enjoyed the food, restaurant, service and dinner
company and will return to try some other offerings.
