Surin serves up Thai food in ViHi 7 days a week, lunch is only served Monday through Friday. You can locate meter parking in front of the restaurant or park in the lot directly behind the lot for free. If there is a fee for the back lot don't worry, Surin will credit your bill. They also have 1/2 price appetizers on Monday from 530 - 700.
It's been a few years since I've eaten here and I'm sad to say the food was mediocre. The restaurant was packed when I arrived so I had hoped that was a good sign. Our waiter was pretty average, he gave recommendations and had a personality, meaning he wasn't dull.
I know some people order pad thai to determine if a thai restaurant is good but for some reason I always go with the Basil Fried Rice with shrimp. I usually get it Thai spicy and made that request here. The dish was an average serving, very fragrant, plump shrimp but not very flavorful. It also wasn't very spicy. The dish was $14.50.
I started with their spring rolls, you get two for $5. I don't think that I've ever been disappointed over spring rolls from a Thai restaurant but there's a first time for everything. The rolls are very bland, no flavor and also not many vegetables, it seemed like it contained only cabbage. I also ordered the crab angels, you get four crab and cream cheese wontons for $4. Now the wontons were very good, best thing I ate that evening.
The best thing I drank that evening was the Lychee Martini, it was perfect and filled to the top of the glass. I love that they serve it with lychee.. delicious.
