Cafetasia: Great dinin’ on a dime

This cafeteria style restaurant serves everything from cocktails to Thai ice-tea’s and you can have a three course meal here and still get change back from a $20. The menu is Thai, Pan-Asian influenced. I’ve tried numerous items on their menu and they were all just delicious! Just to warn you, even the mild spiciness here is still quite spicy!

Thai basil chicken with Udon noodles (pictured) is my favorite! My whole meal (pictured) was only $8.50 – included my soup, Udon noodle and Thai ice-tea. I went on a Saturday and got the brunch menu.

Pros:
-Very flavorful dishes
-Large selection
-Great prices

Cons:
-Long wait times (sometimes even when you make a reservation)
-Cramped tables
-Staff sometimes not so friendly (its hectic in there during dinner)
-At peak dinner hours, this place is PACKED
