Our fans have requested a harsher review and that's what we are planning to give to Kanok. We didn't want to do it, hence the 4 weeks of "post procrastination", but here it is. Also it's been a busy summer, vacations, all consuming periods of watching "The Wire" on HBO Go (amazing show!) and so forth, but we bring to you our first negative review....
Place: Kanok
Date:8/17/11
BYO'd: Ménage a trois White
Corkage Fee: $5 total for wine bottle
BYO Buzz: Can get better take-out for half the price - (see our review of this joint - SBL)
Atmosphere: Looks swanky and modern, golden silverware and accents, BEST music selection (waiter said it was Jason Mraz station on Pandora).
Service: it was good, pleasant....we got our food so that's a plus.

Appetizer--Crab Wonton
Kee Mao Noodles--eaten by A
Kee-mao spicy noodle dish. (note a "2" spicy at this joint is SPI-CY!!) was ok. again nothing stand outish. I've definitely had more flavorful spicy noodle dishes at other Thai places. This was ehh. One thing to point out - the chick in the dishes was very good. There was a bout a 2 month span where the chicken bits in thai and chinese dishes was really creeping A out, but so was not the case here. From the 2 views of the dish, its a plentiful portion and made a good dent but took home the rest for lunch the next day... except the hubby stole it and took it with him.
Spicy Basil Chicken--eaten by L
Stir-fried with spicy basil sauce, bell pepper, onion, bok choy, and basil leaf served with jasmine rice.
I am a huge sucker for jasmine rice, which was tasty. The meal itself was your run of the meal Thai chicken dish. It wasn't bad, it wasn't great. To say it eloquently, it was "eeehhhh".
I agree with A about the non creepy chicken. Another plus was the spicy level. A two worked perfect for me. It wasn't too spicy, but spicy enough for me that it kept my mouth watering....to bad the food itself didn't do it for me.

Dessert-Sweet Sticky Rice with Mango--eaten by both ; )
Well, it was what it said: white sticky rice with mango. Mango was mango, rice was........sticky.
Our favorite part of this dinner---The WINE--Ménage a trois White
The website describes it as: Three different grapes add up beautifully in our Ménage à Trois White. Chardonnay lends its firm, rich character, while Muscat shows up wild and exotic, and Chenin Blanc plays a soft supporting role. Together they produce one show-stopping wine
L describes it as YUMMY:). A will give that a ditto.
