It used to be called KT Thai but changed to Thaiway over a year ago. One of my complaints about my new job was the lack of decent restaurants in the area. I had to go outside the usual stomping grounds to go here. This is in a small plaza outside a Dominix. Only one other party was there when I visited. I ordered the chicken masalla (brown curry with peanuts, onions, and potatoes) which was pretty good and felt like a good portion for the price. I do plan on going there next time I'm in the mood for Thai.
I'm giving it a B+ instead of an A mostly because it felt weird being the ONLY person in a restaurant during the lunch rush.

This is a nice Chinese place visible from the road. The recruiter who got me my current job took me there for lunch. The food was good and the portions were huge. I had beef lo mein (my favorite dish). The noodles were a bit too thin (I like the thick wheat noodles). Perhaps it was a bit heavy on the soy sauce. There was enough that I took the last bit home with me in a little box.
I will have to give it a C+ not because of the quality of food or service, both of which was very good. But because all those carbs cause me to get very sleepy in a meeting that afternoon and I got into serious trouble because of it. Going back feels like tempting fate.
