I had my own ethnic place and know from experience, people that font have a clue about food know how to run their mouth. Of you don't like it stay home and eat your own. Its very hard to get started and they don't need the negative response. Help them out and be nice or shut up; and stay home.

As far as Thai food is concerned, the Thai Garden Restaurant in Silvis, IL has the best Thai food in the whole QC area! My friends and I consider this restaurant as authentic as you can get. The food is awesome...Give them a try!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182822613709027625.post-43158974798733704792010-08-01T02:36:06.470-05:002010-08-01T02:36:06.470-05:00I have lived here all my life,over 50 years, I am ...I have lived here all my life,over 50 years, I am American and have become a regular customer at Thai Garden because I love their food and have learned many things about Thai people and their culture.<br /><br /> Regarding your comments about the Thai Garden Restaurant in Silvis, Il. <br />You sir are not familiar with Thai culture are you? Don't you know that:<br />1) catfish is one of the most common foods for Thai people<br /><br />2) and about the theme of the restaurant, did you not see the giant golden tree with the red background at the back of the dining room? Also the cabinet for their menus was made in Thailand. Another example of your ignorance is the wooden wall hanging called a "Kalae" that is near the kitchen entrance and the many wall hangings which refer to their god Buddha <br /><br />3) Where is this "wagon wheel" you speak of? I have never seen it, and have been going there ever since they opened.<br /><br />4) Also, what is your definition of "Asian-ity "? If you think seeing a bunch of Buddha statues, images or busts of Buddha all over warrants "Asian-ity", means you do not know Thai culture at all. If Thai people display Buddha just to decorate or promote an "Asian" theme, they are being disrespectful to their lord Buddha, and is actually is prohibited to do in Thailand.<br /><br />5) don't you know that 99.9% of all Thai dishes are prepared with fish sauce? Its Thai food!!!!<br /><br /> You should be more careful about what you say here on the "net" and have a better understanding before you write something negative.<br />What is it you are looking for when you go to a Thai restaurant anyway? Decorations or good, authentic Thai food. If you want the bells and whistles with Thai food with Chinese chefs, not an authentic Thai cook, then go to Exotic Thai or Tantra in Davenport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182822613709027625.post-51806848039227769502010-06-30T18:12:35.762-05:002010-06-30T18:12:35.762-05:00Can you tell me what the good Thai restaurants in ...Can you tell me what the good Thai restaurants in the QCs are? I just moved up here from Champaign, IL (where there are AWESOME Thai places, my best friend down there is Thai). We went to Exotic Thai shortly after I moved here and I was SOOOO disappointed. Not only is it not authentic, it wasn't GOOD. I asked for my green curry "Thai hot" and it was barely spicy at all. Not only that, they didn't have my favorite, som tum. What kind of Thai restaurant doesn't have som tum????? <br />Eagerly awaiting your answer so I can find some good food!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182822613709027625.post-34353706979060425702010-02-27T19:40:59.341-06:002010-02-27T19:40:59.341-06:00Dear Sir,
This is in response to your blog entry ...Dear Sir, <br />This is in response to your blog entry about the Thai Garden Restaurant in Silvis, IL. I find myself in living in a town called Silvis IL because of work and I was really excited when a Thai place was so close ( yes and know that Exotic Thai is not far. I think that supporting local businesses is very important, especially ones that are just getting on their feet and ones that are really good. <br /><br />1) the Décor. - yes this is interesting, does not seem like a Thai place. I was too a bit confused about some of the signs. This is a new restaurant, give them some time to get on their feet and know they are going to succeed before they go spending $$$$ on Asian decorations. That is just common sense. <br /><br />2) I have been there a few times. And I would like to share some dishes that are very good!!! <br /> A) Pad Thai ( this was fantastic) <br /> B) Pumpkin Curry - much better then Exotic Thai<br /> C) Pineapple Fried Rice- AMAZING<br /><br />3) And while I do agree with you about the quality of Silvis, IL water ( something I did not know about until after I bought my house in Silvis ( New to the area) ) I hope that people will not be discouraged to go to Thai Garden because of your comment there. <br /><br />Also, I saw some of your other reviews on restaurants in the area. It seems that either you or your friend coach looks like the guy who works at the Moline Library.Kristinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5182822613709027625.post-58497019330014416322009-12-14T14:15:31.049-06:002009-12-14T14:15:31.049-06:00No really, the description was for the fresh ones ...No really, the description was for the fresh ones and I got the fried ones.
