House Of Thai - Cookeville

Food was really good. I got mine “Thai Hot” and it was hot but definitely could of been hotter. I visibly noticed that they put Log of chili flakes/chili sauce in the food as opposed to making the curry hotter. It as still really good. We tore it all up. Got 2 curries, 2 stir fries, a couple appetizers and some fried rice. Everything was great.

Sadly I did not get a picture this time of my Green Shrimp Curry, I was so excited to dig in. I'm always bad about that... I've taken an interest in curries lately and tried to make my own, but had never had an actual curry to know if mine was any good. So I decided to give this place a try. This was last Tuesday... I have been craving it every day since! H.O.T. is HANDS DOWN the best place in town I've eaten as far as quality of food so far. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, nearly melted in your mouth and was not rubbery. They were huge too and plenty of them! I was impressed as I kept finding them in the bowl as I spooned it out onto the Jasmine Rice. The flavor of the curry was complex, it kept unfolding as I chewed and after I swallowed. Hungry as I was, It took me about 15-20 minutes or so to eat it as the portion was big and I wanted to savor each bite. While I was blown away by the curry and the amazing, complimenting Thai Tea (which is what you get if you ask for unsweet tea) that had hints of vanilla in it- I was disappointed in the Shu- mai dumplings. They gave us 4 that were about as big around as a dollar coin. Definitely not worth $7.45 for just the dumplings. Next time I go I won't be getting the Shu-Mai again but will be sure to get pictures and leave a review for what I do get.

I usually order takeout from this restaurant and have never eaten in. The food is usually great, but not this time. Unfortunately, they don't serve sushi on Mondays and since they were busy on the Monday I visited, the noodles were overcooked and seemed like they had been sitting out for a while. It happens sometimes. In general, the food at this restaurant is usually excellent, and the servers have always been great every time I've ordered takeout.

This restaurant is phenomenal, everything on the menu is delicious. I truly think it is the best Thai restaurant in Cookeville. Whether you order pad thai, spring rolls, green curry, or anything else, you will not be disappointed.

I tried the sushi at this restaurant today. I absolutely loved the Hippie vegetarian roll and also enjoyed the drunked Noodles with tofu, which is always a favorite. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent.
