Thai Garden Restaurant

We are blessed to have so much amazing international cuisine in Amarillo. While there are many spread about the town, the greatest concentration is along Amarillo Boulevard, aka Route 66. There you will find Thai, Vietnamese, Mexican, Somalian, and more. And if you want to escape from there banalities of typical American cuisine, this is the place to do it. I had reason to venture to Amarillos north side to hit a Mexican fruiteria today, and then chose Thai Garden on the Boulevard for dinner. It is a very unassuming place, not among the highest class of Thai restaurants their government has subsidized through their gastro-tourism program the last two decades. But pretense does not always mean good food; Id rather keep it simple and just have good food. Which is exactly what Thai Garden served. I went with the Yellow Curry, a hearty plateful of veggies and spicy coconut milk with a side of steamed rice. I was in heaven; I give the heat factor a rating of 2 out of 5, enough to get my attention, but not enough to have me sweating or crying. It was just right. I took the time to look around, and as per my usual assessment when dining at International restaurants, I wanted to see how I fit into the crowd. To my liking, I was the only white guy in the place, which is a good sign. It means that this is no corporate chain with faux food, but rather a place that has a loyal following among its own people. Better yet, this is on the Mother Road, and restaurants like this represent the future of the road. I give Thai Garden two thumbs up, and shall promote among the many Route 66 travelers I know who journey across this road each year.
