Finally, a Thai restaurant in Annandale! Ordered delivery from here last night -- I get the impression they are not focused on the delivery aspect of the biz, and prefer their patrons to dine-in or take-out, but they were still gracious and accommodating. http://www.immthai.com/ (note -- techno-jazz-pop music on home page) Got the Phitsanulok big bowl noodle soup, a hot-and-sour soup with many flavors. I'm suffering that blasted cold/cough that's going around and thought the hot-and-sour soup would be just the thing, as that's what I get from the Chinese take-outs when I've got a case of crud. The big bowl soups are easily enough for two typical servings. The roasted pork, rice noodles, herbs and veg came packed separately from the soup liquids that had the ground meat, crushed peanuts and fish balls in it. I took a big spoonful of the broth to sample when it got there and quickly discovered the chilies used in the Thai soup are either a very different type of chili or much more forward than in Chinese hot-and-sour, and it sent me into a huge coughing fit. Not the comforting quality I was looking for. When mixed together with the noodle components, it was still spicy but not intolerable, but the sourness was not very noticeable. The roasted pork seemed a bit overdone to me. I've not had fish balls before and I didn't particularly care for them -- a 1" round, dense, chewy, fishy-flavored white ball that I'm guessing was made with rice flour. Similar to the rice cakes that you can get in the Korean groceries but with a more spongey texture. Also got the crispy chicken with sweet chili sauce that was sort of a Thai chicken nugget strips with a sweet undertone and served with steamed broccoli. A pretty, non-offensive dish. Also tried the duck roll, which was duck and veg rolled in a crepe with a sweet dark soy-based sauce that was so-so. I think it probably suffered some in traveling from the restaurant to my house. Just under $30 for all three dishes with delivery. I'll try some more things on the menu, and it is so nice to have Thai close by, but I found this was a middling meal for a first try.
