The buffet at Thai Kitchen is a nice rendition of Thai food.

Although I’m not much of a buffet-goer, Thai Kitchen does a really nice rendition. The foods on the four-row spread are a mixture of traditional Thai and some Americanized dishes. All are hot, fresh, replenished frequently, and there is great diversity from day to day. There’s always a curry, something fried (bananas and sweet potatoes), spring rolls, garlic chicken wings, a noodle dish and if you’re lucky, an off-menu item such as Thai egg salad (yum kai do) comprised of eggs fried in very hot oil, cut into bite-sized pieces, topped with chopped tomatoes, cilantro and thin slices of red onion, then simply dressed with fresh lime juice, Thai peppers for heat and a bit of fish sauce. The buffet is beyond reasonably priced at $6.59 per person. Save room for dessert, the Asian Pearl—coconut milk, jackfruit, tapioca and crushed ice—is outstanding.
