Sawasdee!! As an employee of Atin and Thai Smile here is my inside scoop :)
Awesome place to grab a bite when you have an hour or so lunch break. Generous portions with a cup of soup coming before your entree at a competitive price. Lunch and dinner prices differ as well as portions. lunch menu runs around 7-8 Bucks. Dinner goes anywhere from 9-15 dollars depending on our weekly special. Dinner also comes with unlimited rice. We have something to match anyone's pallet with our very large menu. If your not sure what to order, ask your server! Explain your likes and dislikes and we can most likely find something you will enjoy. The kitchen feeds each employee every shift we work therefore we have tried the entire menu.. (An awesome perk lol) Everything is made to order meaning if you don't like carrots we won't cook it with carrots in it. Want extra snow peas? No biggie we'll throw an extra handful in.
Nearly all entrees can be made vegan and vegetarian !
The level of spicy is decided by our customers. 0-5 is the scale. Order 5 and not spicy enough for ya? We have a spice tray that can be brought to your table.
Now for everyone who does not believe we are not "authentic" enough we have a new menu for 2013 offering five or six truly exotic/authentic dishes. I won't spill the beans on those you'll have to come in and try them out :D But hey, if basil chicken isn't "authentic" then you've never been to Bangkok.
like they say, "Don't knock it til ya try it." I hope you'll like it :D
just my 2¢
