"UPDATE: 3.5 stars I noticed they now list the ingredients of their curry's on their online menu. 3 stars. This review is strictly for their MASSAMAN. My daughter loves their fried rice so we often order it for her to go. It is good, but very oily for my taste. They will make it with less oil when I ask. I decided to try their Massaman curry today. They are not a Thai restaurant but have several Thai dishes on their menu. Massaman curry is pretty simple, meat, potatoes, and typically onions, maybe carrots and cashews. The cashews may just be something most restaurants around me do since I have seen peanuts as well. There aren’t any descriptions on their menu so I thought that it would be prepared like other Thai restaurants prepare it. It was not. First the sauce was thin and oily. I’m not sure if it had any coconut milk in it or not. There were no potatoes or cashews but loads of green beans, broccoli, green peppers (which I do not like and would have excluded) red peppers, BASIL and some onions. Pretty much everything I like about Massaman curry as a dish was absent. (I like the potatoes, the thick coconut creaminess of the curry sauce and the crunchy nuts). The flavor was pretty good, but I couldn’t really taste the Massaman. The basil won out. If you like the curry Massaman, but don’t like the way it is typically served then you would probably like this. The chicken was good as were the veggies, it just wasn’t what I wanted at all, and would have chosen something else if a description had been listed. I just wanted to give others a heads up if they were thinking about ordering it."
