Accent Thai

So on McLean Ave in Yonkers, there's a new Thai restaurant. Well, kind of new. I had gone to a place in the same location years ago that I found rather repugnant, but after a huge renovation, it has reopened and since it is literally down the street from where I am currently living, I decided to give it a whirl.

The appetizers are not worth the price. I have tried various items on the menu, and the calamari was the best, but not worth the price. Extremely small portion, and the side sauce was watery and not very exciting. The crab and fish specials were both rubbery and the rolls were greasy.

As for the main course, the pad thai and the curries are actually pretty good. Considering there is not a lot of Thai in the area, it's nice to have a quick take-out place down the street that will definitely satisfy the need. The pad thai is slightly greasy, and I recommend having a lime at home to squeeze over it because they don't supply you with one. The curry has a nice flavor that they can spice up (for me) or spice down (for Brad) if necessary. Sweet with a kick, and plenty of crispy, fresh vegetables, and sticky rice. My only complaint is that I wish there was a little bit more "meat" whether you order chicken, steak, or shrimp. However, it quenches my Thai tastebuds in the area.
