| Tom I went to the Tai Kitchen last week with my friends. It’s the place with the long lie outside! But don’t worry—you won’t need to wait very long and the foods are worth the wait. I had the chef’s special dish of the day, beef and salad. The restaurant gets noisy sometimes, but if you don’t go in busy hours, you’ll find it nice and quiet. |
| Helen I died the Tai Kitchen a year ago and I keep coming back. It’s always busy and the atmosphere is very lively. The waiters are friendly and helpful and have a good knowledge of the dishes on the menu. There aren’t many kinds of food, but the food is tasty. You’re usually served quickly, so it’s a great place to go. |
