This is currently the best Thai place I can find in Bham. Which is not to say its great, but it isn't bad.

My husband and I had missed Thai Garden House in Hoover after it moved to the UAB area. When we finally went there for dinner recently, we were disappointed. My Pad Thai with shrimp had a very unpleasant taste and odor - something akin to fishy/plastic/chemicals! I tried to get past it, but couldn't. My husband strongly agreed when he tasted it. When we sent it back, the proprietess merely cooked another batch and plopped it in front of me in a obviously peeved manner and when asked, answered that she had tasted the first dish and there was nothing wrong with it. The second dish had the same unpleasant taste! Fortunately, and to Thai House's credit, my husband's catfish dish was tasty and the portion was generous enough for sharing. We won't be going back; there are too many good alternatives for Thai food in the area. If the matter had been handled graciously, i.e. if I had been asked if I would rather have another dish instead, or even if the proprietress had apologized in any way, I would be willing to give them another chance. Not only did that not happen, we were CHARGED for the bad Pad Thai! Customer satisfaction should be foremost, especially in the restaurant business.

My new favorite place to eat lunch in Southside. The drunken man noodle dish is highly recommended (I get mine with tofu).
