I had driven by and seen the sign for this place a few times since reviewing some other Thai places, but just got around to trying it a few days ago. \n\nCorner Thai Kitchen is, fittingly, located in the corner unit of a strip mall. \nDespite the wall of windows, there is nothing great about the view -- parking lot and auto shop. But the interior is cozy and pleasant with a gurgling fish tank separating the entrance area from the seating area.\n\nAs usual, I ordered my favorite Thai dish, panang. And sticking to my vegetarian diet, I got the tofu panang -- along with my first iced Thai coffee. \n\nThe Thai coffee arrived in a tall glass full of ice and my first impression was that it had a smoked flavor -- as if the coffee beans had been smoked. It was also sweet and creamy. The more I tasted it, the more I enjoyed it.\n\nThe tofu panang arrived in a boat-shaped ceramic dish. Unlike other panangs I've had, this one had no peas or carrots, just red and green bell peppers, basil leaves, tofu, and the spicy coconut sauce. While I've never had a panang I didn't like, I can't say I've ever had a version I liked more than this one. It was delicious. \n\nThe waitress and the other staff were very friendly and helpful. The wait for the food was typical and the prices were reasonable. I'd recommend Corner Thai Kitchen to any lover of Thai food.
