Canon in D - in a Thai Restaurant?

Bangkok Thai & Sushi Restaurant
4077 W. Algonquin Rd. - Algonquin, IL
Cuisine Type: Thai & Sushi
Price: $$

Upon looking for a local Thai restaurant in our Northwestern Suburban neck of the woods was unusually difficult. Alas, with the help of our friend, Google, we found one not too far away.

The restaurant sits in a newly built mini mall and has decent curb appeal. When you walk in, you immediately see some swanky leather booths with glass topped tables. It struck me as elegant. The only thing that we found odd was the music choice. Not only were they playing Canon in D and other random Classical selections, but they were playing it at a volume that was a bit invasive. It wasn't Background music, it was pretty much right in your face music. We exchanged awkward glances with the friends we had brought accross the table as if to say, "What is up with this music?" For a Thai place, it definately had an odd atmosphere.

The waitress was friendly and prompt with bringing us our beers. I was pleasantly suprised to see that they had a great selection of Sushi as well as Thai food. So, while everyone else ordered Thai, I went for the Sushi. I got the California roll and the Philadelphia roll. It tasted really fresh and delicious and the Sushi chef even came over to ask if I had enjoyed it. That was a nice touch indeed. Amongst the table, there were orders of Shrimp Pad Thai and Sweet and Sour Chicken. The overall response was that it was great. The prices were moderately high and the food was decent.

Overall, I'd say this would be a good restaurant to visit if you're looking for a nice suburban restaurant with an ethnic flare.
