Thai Treasure Vienna

[Ericandblueboy]

There are two Thai Treasures and I don't know if they're related.  They have separate websites.  The one I visited is in Vienna (website).

I think the place is pretty new, a block away from Lotus Garden and Plaka Grill.

What drew me there is their street food and Lao food (but not labeled as such).

I ordered their liver salad (liver laab) - the flavors are bright, the livers are thinly sliced, barely cooked and very tender.  This reminds me of the Padaek beef & innards laab on the secret menu, which has more variety of offal.  If you like liver, you will love this dish.  They didn't ask how spicy I wanted it and it came out not spicy.  Next time I'll ask for some heat.

I also tried their Chinese broccoli with crispy pork belly.  I almost always get this dish if available and I enjoyed it.  The portions here are pretty big, and reasonably priced.  

I ate in because I'm fully vaccinated and no one else was eating there.

There are lots of non-inspiring Thai restaurants (Busara, Neisha, Pasa, etc.) in the area.  This place stands out as being authentic.

Thanks for the tip. We used to eat a lot of Thai food, but have really tailed off in the past couple years. Maybe some new places (to us) are what the doctor ordered. I have no interest in liver but will check out the rest of the menu.

Not sure I’ll make it to Vienna, but I see Goong Glure, which is one of my favorite dishes at Thai Ghang Waan.

Goong Gleur defines Thai Ghang Waan, which is Springfield's Thai gem.

Went back to TT to try their Goong Nam Pla - raw shrimp served with sliced garlic with a fiery sauce.  The heat just keeps building until I cried uncle.  And this is just a 2 chili dish.  I think their sauce is overly spicy and lacks other flavor (or maybe I just couldn't taste anything else because it was really spicy).  

I'll go back to try their crispy rice salad.
