Noted. It was indeed the Thai dishes mentioned that caught my attention.
Oriental House is the best Chinese in town, imho. Plus their dim sum menu is better than Jade Palace's.
I like Oriental House a lot and really appreciated its new owners' commitment to making authentic dishes available to Westerners. As far as I know, they were the first in Louisville to do that, in the early 2000s.
Best in town, though? I have a hard time deciding among Oriental House, Jasmine and Peking City Bistro. They all have "authentic" menus available to all, and the other two both have "name" chefs from the old country. To me, "best" is whichever I ate at last, pretty much.
We were at Jade Palace for dim sum last weekend and left a little disappointed. It seemed to have dropped off a notch, and perhaps significantly, there weren't many Chinese there. I wasn't whelmed when Oriental House first started serving dim sum, but I guess it's time for another look.
Thanks, Adriel, and by the way, welcome to the forum!
