We chose this restaurant because one of the owners is Cambodian, and we were trying to tie into Sophorn's "30 days of hope". Thai and Cambodian foods are very similar. They had some of the best Thai food I have eaten in Memphis, and it is definately worth checking out. I think everyone who joined us at the gathering would back me up on that bold and confident statement.

This was really a nice introduction to the restaurant. Great flavors and textures. The peanut dipping sauce is made fresh daily. A lot of restaurants say things like that, but I believed them. The flavor was exquisite. We had an incredible meal. Thank you Thai Bistro for the great night!

Beignet Bits...need I write more?!

They were incredible. I had to fight Atticus, my 2 year old, tooth and nail for the last one. We were both big fans of this dessert. All in all, an incredible meal. I couldn't have asked for anything more! All that food for $20?! What a steal!

As I always write, if you are interested in joining us for any gathering, or want to ad a friend(s), email me at earcm33@yahoo.com and I will put you on the invite list. We are a fun group of folks always looking for a new traveler to share our gastronomical tour of Memphis, TN. I am off to the trolley tour downtown tonight.

Have a great day and a great meal! See you next month.
