$$ Thai Taste, Carbondale IL

100 South Illinois Ave
618-457-6900

I like Thai food and know enough about it to know that the widely held axioms of it being too hot/spicy to eat are not necessarily true. Although many dishes are or can be extremely hot there are many that have wonderful blends of flavors and textures that are not. I’d recommend pad thai the national noodle dish of Thailand as a savory yet non spicy entrée.

We, and by we I mean the rural Southern Illinois community, are fortunate to have a couple of decent ethnic choices that often are missed unless your in a larger city. Thai Taste has both a decent selection of dishes, a 1-10 scale for spiciness for almost each dish, and the dishes are generally well done.

The largest caveat I’d offer that would prevent an all out recommendation is the inexplicable disgustingness of the carpet. If any association to the worn and soiled carpet (an undetermined original color now black in most places) is made on general sanitation and cleanliness in the kitchen I’d stay far, far away. Get a new floor covering!

π π π       Good food, reasonably priced. There is a wide range of regional cuisine available. Cantonese, Sichuan, Thai dishes among them.
π             General concerns about the cleanliness based largely on   the carpeting. “To go” a better option?
