The food and service were fine but the extreme raves in Vegas and the NYC branch are kind of mystifying.   Because this is far from the Strip, a tourist doesn't just stumble on this restaurant, you really have to want it.  There are other comparable Thai restaurants in the USA without anywhere near the hype: Typhoon or Chaba Thai in Portland, OR ... Thai Place in Orange County, Malee's in Scottsdale,  come to mind.   We had the egg roll, Tom Yum Kai, Salmon Panang, and Drunken Noodle Seafood.  Of the bunch the salmon was the most inventive.  My biggest gripe with the meal was drunken noodle seafood use of fake crab.  If you're a James Beard award winning restaurant don't use fake crab.  I haven't had fake crab in any seafood dish at the above-mentioned restaurants, and since the other dishes seemed rather standard-good Thai, gets an A-OK.  Not likely a destination stop next time in Vegas.
