Typhoon Restaurant

Ordered take out on a Friday night. My usual thai placd is temporarily closed sadly. Food here was ready in 20 min as indicated. Staff was friendly. Not very busy for a Fri night. Parking available in front om main st. Ordered drunken noodles and drunke rice. The noodles were not as saucy as other thai places. The noodles were also more sweet than other places. Also the noodles themselves were not the flat wide noodles that. They werd dull, long, and thin noodles. First time I had drunken noodles w this shape of noodle. The noodle shape was a big disappointment. Drunken noodles simply does not taste well with thin and long noodles. The drunken rice was ok. This place is was not exciting for my taste buds.

Really enjoyed the pad see ew, and all the appetizers. Typhoon has a good selection of flavors, but milder (less chillies and fish sauce) than one gets in West Coast Thai restaurants. I wish they had the caddy of condiments you usually find on Thai tables. However, on our requesting it, we did get little plastic containers of chilli oil and chilli powder. No Nam Som Prik Dong though - those delicious chillies in vinegar.

I’ve ordered the same dish (Pad Thai) on two separate occasions within one week of each other just to make sure that this is a fair review and unfortunately each time the dish has had mediocre flavor and not nearly as spicy as I would like it to be or as I have had many times before at other Thai restaurants even though I request the highest spice level which is Thai hot, I even asked for a side of extra spice powder and applied it all and it still was what I would consider mild in spice. Over all it’s ok, just nothing to write home about.

Glad we stumbled upon Typhoon when we looked up "Thai Food" in a few towns along our route. Delicious food and quite the selection! We enjoyed the varied cuisine and laughed that we had Vietnamese (appetizer rolls), Indian (Massaman Curry), Thai (Drunken Noodles), and Taiwanese (bubble tea) all at the same meal. We were there at an off time (3:30pm) but staff was attentive and courteous. The only problem was that half our tapioca boba (bubbles) were as hard as rocks :(.
