Makong Authentic Thai Cuisine

Ah yes, they like the spicy. Me too. We can be friends.
The only thing that set any alarms off for me were carrots — which were everywhere — in large chunks. Soup? Mostly carrot. Curry? Large, faceted pieces floating around like glaciers in an otherwise near-​perfect pool of coconut milk and possibly-​homemade curry paste (no, I didn’t ask — I’ll just live in my illusion, kthx).
Lunch here is a friggin’ steal. Must be the proximity to the La-​Z-​Boy store keeping the overhead low. I don’t know who frequents this place being as weirdly located as it is but to you, anonymous eater — consider yourself lucky to have semi-​trad Thai in your desolate, strip-​mall-​bedecked ‘Hood.
Be emphatic if you crave super-​hot. They’re a little light-​handed with the bird’s eyes.

Julia S and I did the Russian roulette with my Citypass coupon book. We agreed on Thai and lo and behold, Makong magically appeared. I have never even heard of it. Not a peep. Ten minutes away off of WT Harris and Statesville Rd. Jump in my ride and we were on our merry way.
Walk into a clean, modern restaurant, friendly service. Hot tea, spicy ass drunken noodles, ***** five star thai hot made our head’s spin. Green curry with fried tofu. It was a pleasant surprise when restaurants really make it spicy. Yay, very happy on my first date with Makong.
