mee thai on 5th

What did you have, Belzjm?

I wrote them a glowing Yelp review like two nights ago. Also had the Drunken Man Noodles/Pad Kee Mao and it was great. I had the spring rolls too- they were perfectly acceptable. The noodles were definitely the main attraction. Deeeelicious.

Mee Thai is great - very good food, good portions, with a much, much more laid-back atmosphere than Song. If you're into Song's whole trendy vibe, then go there, you probably won't enjoy Mee Thai. But if you're looking for a much more relaxed meal, in a place where you can actually hold a conversation without yelling, then go to Mee Thai.

Not to argue semantics, but there's a difference between "zero" ambiance and a pleasant atmosphere. Yes, you're definitely right, it's not a first date kinda place (or third or fourth date...), but it's also not one of those greasy Chinese holes-in-the-wall with a few dirty tables thrown out front of a counter. To me, that's zero ambiance. Mee Thai is a casual, comfortable, quiet place to have a good meal with good company.

We love taking bigger groups of friends there because you can always get a table big enough to fit everyone, you can hear each other talk from the end of said big table, and you can get good plentiful food for relatively cheap.

It's actually for this upcoming Monday. I'm thinking Song simply as it's a dinner with a (hopefully) future boss/colleague. So I'm thinking more atmosphere focused.
