Thai food can be addictive.  With its subtle yet distinctive flavors, it keeps drawing you back for that next entree that you have not yet tried..or for that favorite you know will be good, so why risk the unknown?  Either way, the Thai Palace is satisfying.  It has an extensive and creative menu of choices, along with the more typical Thai standards.

And speaking of standards, the owner chef Sarah Siriporn-Baker, works hard to keep the dining standards very high.

Thai Palace owner and chef

When she is not personally preparing each dish, she is probably shopping for local produce.  Freshness plays a big role in her culinary concept, as does authenticity.

She grew up in her native Thailand cooking and learning about the many flavors and techniques she puts into play.

The Palace has developed quite a local reputation.  To accommodate her customers, Sarah has recently added significant space.  If you have not been there in awhile, you’ll see about double the seating room.

If you are really partial to Asian cuisine, you may also enjoy the new Sushi Bar that is now up and running at the Palace.  I saw the Sushi chef busy doing the artful work of preparation last time I visited.  Sarah tells me it has been a big hit with customers.

The Thai Palace is just off the intersection of Route 50 and Lee Road, in the same shopping center as Costco and Target.  You turn on Lee Road from Route 50, and then take the next left into the shopping center.  The Palace is next to the UPS Store at 14410 Chantilly Crossing Lane.  If you visit, we’d love to know what you think.

Here are a few images of some of the many Thai dishes you will find.  By the way, for the serious – or not so serious – lover of Thai food, Sarah does occasional mentoring in which she teaches the basic techniqes of Thai cooking.
