Thaiangle Restaurant

My first visit was opening day.
A few minor kinks are expected.
Staff are kind and attentive.
The food was delicious.
I had my favorite dish, Drunken Noodles.
It came with a small side salad of lettuce drizzled with honey mustard.
Ordered the dish medium spicy, and it was perfect.
Definitely recommend this beautiful spot.

Overall Rating: 7.1/10 The restaurant impresses with its unique, culturally enriched interior and excellent service, though the pricing felt steep relative to the portions and some dish executions. Atmosphere: 7.9/10 The well-designed and spacious layout, enriched with cultural elements, creates a pleasant dining environment.
The thoughtful separation of the bar and dining areas contributes to a comfortable atmosphere, making it a delightful place to dine. Service: 7.1/10 Service was a high point with the bartender and waitress displaying exceptional attentiveness.
Their proactive approach in pouring water, swiftly bringing food, and regularly checking up ensured a seamless dining experience. Food: Puffer Crab Wonton: 7.2/10 These wontons are notable for their unique incorporation of curry, delivering a bold flavor that complements the extremely crispy and flaky texture, making them a standout appetizer. Pineapple Fried Rice: 6.1/10 While fresh, the dish was somewhat bland and dry.
Enhancements in seasoning and perhaps a more robust sauce could elevate this dish to match the freshness of its ingredients. Meatball Soup: 7.9/10 The soup excelled with a bold broth that was flavorful and rich, paired with tasteful meatballs that were well-seasoned and hearty, providing a satisfying and comforting dish. Pork Pad Thai: 7.7 Described as having fresh noodles and good-quality, tasty pork.
The unique peanut crumbs added a pleasing visual and textural contrast, enhancing the overall appeal of the dish. Value: 5.1/10 Despite the high quality and pleasant dining experience, the pricing was higher compared to similar venues, particularly noted during weekends when lunch specials were unavailable.
This aspect made the meal feel less value-for-money given the quantity of food provided. Pokémon Stops/Gyms: There are 5 PokéStops nearby, adding an extra layer of appeal for diners who are also Pokémon Go players.

A quaint and quiet Thai restaurant that definitely seasons the food.
I recommend going with a level down from your expectation of spice.
Portions are great, drinks are a bit strong, food is flavorful, and the whole restaurant is a great addition to the Durham food scene!
