Lemon Grove Thai Food

mmm-yoso!!! is being written by Cathy today.  Kirk and His Missus are out of bandwidth.

The Mister and I drove into this parking lot on Broadway in Lemon Grove one afternoon, after seeing the "coin laundry" signage on the street.  We know there are always a few good spots within walking distance of laundromats.  The generic name was intriguing.

 The menus taped in the window looked good. 
 We stepped inside, ordered, paid and waited for our food to be prepared. The nice ladies working were polite and helpful.  They said they have been open since February 2019 and are grateful to have made it through the worst of times.
 Pork Larb ($9) was a large portion; easily shared.  We asked for a spiciness level of "2" out of "10" and the heat was definitely there, but all ingredients could still be tasted.  The tender, grilled pork (still warm because it had been freshly grilled) was moist, had the char that I look for and contrasted with the coolness the other salad ingredients. Mint, cilantro, onion, fresh lettuces and cucumbers along with lime juice and crunchy roasted rice bits had every bite a wonderful mix of textures and flavors.  Very, very good.

 The large Tom Kha soup with chicken ($8.50) was served hot and 'to go', even though we ate most of it inside.  Coconut based, with all of the ingredients seen here-bell peppers, carrot, tomato, onion, enoki mushrooms, lemongrass and lime leaves and plenty of chicken were a wonderful combination of flavors and spices and spiciness (we asked for a "1").

We will be back to try more of the menu.  A great little neighborhood spot. Amazing food.
