G & G Thai Cuisine

Thai foodies are looking for one thing and one thing only--that perfect blend of sweet, savory and spicy, all in just one bite. G & G does not disappoint. They have a wide range of dishes, from the very safe and widely known Pad Thai to their most popular menu item Pumpkin Curry Chicken (perfect for Thanksgiving!).
Now open on Sundays, G & G offers affordable food that tastes even better than all those fancy, overpriced, touristy Thai restaurants (I don't care how obnoxiously lit your building sign is). Main entree prices range from $8 to $15. My favorite dish is the Cashew Chicken dish (Medium spice, please!) and the yellow curry. However, if you do not feel like ordering one meal, I suggest ordering 2 or 3 appetizers to get a good cross-section of tastes. The fried or fresh spring rolls are amazing! The fish cakes I would avoid...I did not find any fish in them. I usually do not have enough room for dessert after a huge curry with rice, but try the Thai donuts or the banana coins with a side of honey. Truly an ethereal experience!

Take-out is a popular option since the dining area is somewhat small. I swear that about 5-10 people walk in to pick up their orders every time I am dining. Atmosphere is intimate and barely noticeable Thai music is playing in the background. Be sure to notice that the restaurant closes between lunch and dinner for 2 hours (2:30pm-4:30pm). Nothing is worse than wanting some freshly rolled shrimp spring rolls and ending up having to pick up something at Froggers instead.
There are healthy options on the menu, as well. The Chicken Satay Salad is fresh, delicious and the peanut dressing comes on the side without you having to tell the waitress ;)
Another important upside to this restaurant is that service is great and speedy. I have never
returned a dish and the staff is always cordial. They are always willing to change out meats
or vegetables you do not prefer and replace them with another. Plus, on the side table by the front counter, you can help yourself to red pepper flakes, vinegar, chili paste and crushed
peanuts.
