Thai restaurant Thai2GO launches in Dallas’ Medical District
DALLAS Thai2go, Dallas's premiere take out restaurant for Thai food, opened by Dallas native Siam "Sammy" Saechew, is set to fill a unique gap in the restaurant market of Dallas.
"We are opening Thai2Go with one goal in mind," says Saechew. "And that is to serve the best authentic Thai food possible to staff and patients."
The secret of Thai2Go is that it's located in the heart of the Medical District near Parkland Hospital, Children's Medical Center, and UT Southwestern.
"Growing up I was blessed with eating authentic and delicious Thai food whenever I want. Now, I want to share all the great dishes I was able to enjoy throughout my life with everyone else," says Saechew.
Saechew and company calls Thai2Go "a taste bud adventure waiting to happen." Below you will find some of the dishes that will make that a reality, with many more on the way:
Pad Thai - Probably the most popular dish in any Thai restaurant, we start with your choice of beef, chicken, tofu or soy chicken. We'll stir fry this with soft rice noodles, then add tofu, coarsely chopped scallions, slightly scrambled eggs, some crushed roasted peanuts and our secret blend of sauces. We top it off with some chilled bean sprouts and it's ready for you to savor.
Green Curry (Gang Keow Wahn) - This dish is one of the less over powering of the curry dishes we serve. We start this dish with some simmering coconut milk and add in your choice of beef, chicken, tofu or soy chicken. We then add julienned bamboo shoots, chopped green beans, and julienned bell peppers. We top this dish off with some cool sweet basil leaves and you've got a taste adventure waiting to happen.
Beef Salad - We do this dish a little different from the rest. We start by searing the steak to lock in the flavors. Then, we thinly slice the steak and toss it with crushed parched rice, minced green onions, coarsely chopped cilantro, finely sliced scallions and freshly squeezed limes. We top this over a bed of fresh lettuce and cool mint leaves.
Thai2go is also fully embracing social media for his restaurant as they have a twitter account and a Facebook Fan Page. Unlike most small business owners, Saechew and crew have been fully open with their building process.
You can read all about what it takes to open a Thai restaurant (or any small restaurant) on his funny yet insightful blog.
Saechew says, "I want this to be an open and transparent process, from the way I created this restaurant to the way we present our food to the way we greet our customers. I want people to come in and ask for me by name and really get to know my customers. My blog and social media are helping me do that every day."
