  First, I gave this restaurant five stars because I believe it deserves better than a 4.3 (where it currently stands).
  
  We were seated immediately, while most of the other restaurants had long waits (not necessarily a good sign). We weren't expecting much, but the meal was excellent.
  
  The Crab Rangoon had a flavor I found a bit unique but welcome. My wife is a fan but I usually find it bland. This was not the case with theirs. I enjoyed their Pad Thai with Chicken, which is how I usually gauge any Thai place. The flavor was exactly as expected if not better than most. My wife enjoyed her Beef with Vegetables. Serving sizes were generous, food was hot, the service was prompt, and the price was fine.
  
  Only three minor details would've improved our meal.
  We were not asked about the spiciness of our meals, which I normally expect. Our dinners were served with no spice, maybe that isn't surprising given the vast majority of their patrons. I prefer mild to medium spice, my wife had no complaint.
  I asked for extra peanuts with my meal and they came whole on the side and not chopped like the peanuts on the dish. I should have been clearer with my order, I suppose.
  The beer selection is thin, not that I expect a wide selection in a Thai restaurant, but the beers they did offer seemed redundant. It appears they we're trying to be sure to have popular domestic brands rather than offer a broader taste selection.
  
  None of those issues were significant enough to ruin the meal and most were easily rectified. We did not have high expectations going in, we were pleasantly surprised, and will definitely consider eating here again when visiting in The Villages.

  Excellent Thai. We went for lunch today and they have great lunch menu. Everything came with soup and a spring roll. I had the Penang curry. Hot on the spicy level, was very good. My wife had Pad Thai. Also very good. I'm glad she didn't eat much so I could finish her's as well. Very reasonable. 2 meals with soup and spring rolls. $18
