Editorial Review for Pam's Place : Home-Style Thai Kitchen – by Randi Schmelzer
In Short
Chef-owner Pam Klingliang has relocated her former Rosalynn's to this larger, office-park cul-de-sac space, but her menu is still authentic Thai. A neutral-colored dining room is dotted with house plants, simple art and thin bamboo partitions; creative attention is instead placed on the food. Dozens of made-to-order options--most prepared by Klingliang herself--include starters like spicy eggplant and tofu, and pineapple fried rice. Entree specialties are flaming platters of beef, chicken or shrimp, pineapple chicken curry and pad thai.

Insider Tips
Save TimeBecause Klingliang does so much of the cooking, dinner jams are unavoidable. Make reservations a few days in advance, or call an hour ahead for carryout.
Know Before You GoThe restaurant offers an all-vegetarian menu, featuring meat- and egg-less renditions of most dishes, as well as special desserts.
Where to SitThe best seats in the house are on the magenta-and-blue front patio. It's not fancy, but there are twinkling white lights, and green plants.

My co-workers and I went there on Monday afternoon around 1:30 p.m during our lunch break to try out this place. We ordered 4 dishes, and there weren't anyone but us and it still took more than 35 minutes to get our food. I mean they did told me only one cook was working in the kitchen but like I said there weren't anyone but us. We saw the cook, he looked drunk. Anyway, we finally got our food. We ate really quick because our lunch break was almost up. When the bill came, we were shock how much it costed us for very small portions. Anyway, that was our very first time that we only left $1 tip for the waitress. We normally leave tips for the cook but not that day. We are not going back until they have new cook.
Pros: Food tasted good
Cons: The service too slow ( The cook look drunk )

This was the worst thai restaurant. The food was expensive with little portions. I placed the order to pick up. I ordered the mint leaf chix that barely had 4 ounces of chix. The chix was cut in small pieces almost ground. It did not have any vegetables and came in an oily sauce. We also ordered the pad se eww that smelled like peanuts but supposedly had no peanuts. Again the (mystery meat) beef was sliced thin and was fatty with the broccoli was yellow instead of green. The lemongrass soup was so sour and lemony we could not eat it... it was too overbearing and gave me indigestion immediately. Lastly, they did make up for the miniscule portions by giving two huge cartons of rice to accompany our meal. This is not a place I would recommend.
