First visit: Nov 2017
With Bangkok Cuisine under new ownership, we felt we needed a "4th hand" to complete the game. It's been a long time since we found a new Thai restaurant to compete with Sea Siam, Sweet Basil, and Magic Springroll here in Northeast Tarrant County. Oh sure, we've tried some others. Some very good, but not great either. Enter Thai Hut. We have a new challenger to the throne of best Thai in our area!
We've been three times now recently, the first couple with the official Mrs. RJG's mom. She has now flown back to Arizona, and we just enjoyed our first trip together to Thai Hut.
All dinners start with a ginger dressing based salad, which a nice touch, though I'm not overly fond of it. Mrs. RJG loves it and finishes mine. For an appetizer, on that third visit, we tried the chicken satay. Very nice season charbroiled chicken, which comes in varying sizes. It comes with two dipping sauces, one being the traditional peanut. As for the entree, I ordered my usual spicy basil chicken, which they make authentically with minced chicken - hooray! No green beans for me, but I do get it topped with a fried egg. This is by far the largest egg I've ever had anywhere. Well it's two to begin with (do they sell twin eggs?), and they've proven to be humongous so far. The rice is perfectly cooked - and oh yes, the heat level is very sufficient (Thai Hot). Mrs. RJG has found a new dish here that she loves, and it's the garlic chicken. She's become addicted in short order.
Typical of most Thai restaurants in the area, it's BYOB, so a big savings there. And no corkage fee or any of that silliness. In fact, if you forget a bottle, there's a liquor store right next door, so you can't lose (unless you're there on a Sunday I guess...).
Service has been friendly each visit, a bit inconsistent though, and it appears to be a family run operation.
It's a nicely situated restaurant inside of a strip mall, and it's very comfortable for solo or group dining. For music you get annoying modern American pop/love songs. Oh well, I guess the kids working there like it. You'll find Thai Hut at the SE corner of Basswood and Park Vista Blvd. It's a bit west of our normal dining scope, but it's worth the extra mile as they say.
