$$Asian, Thai, New Additions
Upon entering Thai Star, one feels transported to an island setting due to the use of warm and lush tropical décor. The aromas wafting from the kitchen entice the diners before they are even seated. The ever-reliable Pad Thai is a good choice for those new to this cuisine. The dish is filled with rice noodles in a delectable tamarind sauce with crisp green onions, sprouts and peanuts. The protein options include tofu, chicken, beef, pork or seafood (shrimp and scallops). The Mango Fried Rice is moist and plump with in-season mango, onions, raisins, peas and carrots. Another great rice option is the Pineapple Fried Rice with onions, garlic, tomatoes and cashews. For those craving more spice, a solid selection is the Green Curry which is stewed in coconut milk with zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, bamboo and basil with a choice of proteins. Tasty selections to end the meal include the visually-dynamic Purple Rice Pudding which is topped with coconut cream or for a caffeine kick, select the Thai Coffee – either hot or cold – which is thick and has the perfect amount of sweetness.
