Thai

US Thai Cafe is definitely a hole in the wall place where you leave with your clothes infused with the flavors of your meal.  Facing Sloan's Lake on Sheridan and 25th, the plastic table cloth and the unusually low ceiling were overshadowed by the delicious pad thai and masmam curry we enjoyed. The 3 levels of heat are mild, medium and hot and according to our server, mild equals no spice because the cooks were getting confused?!?!  Why don't they just use something like "none".  Our waitress suggested mild plus, which so you know is more like a medium.  I should have read my previous blog post on US thai cafe, as mild packs quite a spicy punch and and mild plus was a little too much for me.  The pad thai was perfectly sweet from the palm sugar and the salty from the fish sauce and the coconut curry with large chunks of potato, yellow onion, garlic with pork was delicious over the white rice.  Both were perfect for sharing.
