Located at 3361 Battleground Avenue in the Westridge Square shopping center in Greensboro, Thai Square offers Thai cuisine. It is open from 11-9 on Sunday-Thursday and 11-9:30 Friday-Saturday. Online ordering is available.
I had time to kill before a movie and wanted a lighter lunch. A som tam (papaya salad) fit the bill, and Thai Square had it. While I would have been satisfied if it merely fulfilled a craving, Thai Square more than exceeded expectations.
From an aesthetic standpoint, this is one of the nicer Thai restaurants in the area. It’s bright and clean with a wall full of ornamental plates. Though it was busy at the time of my lunchtime visit, it seemed well-run. Staff were polite and attentive, and the kitchen had no trouble keeping up with demand.
The som
tam with shrimp was among the best versions of this dish that I’ve had. From
the attractive plating to the freshness to the flavors (good amount of lime,
not too heavy on the fish sauce), it was satisfying across the board. It wasn’t
at all spicy, which would ordinarily be a red flag (white people Thai food,
five-yard penalty), but in fairness, it wasn’t requested as such. Provided that
Thai Square can bring the heat if you ask for it, the execution here is
top-notch.
I don’t
know if the rest of Thai Square’s menu compares favorably to the dish that I
had, but I hope to eventually find out. For Thai fans in Greensboro, this place
is definitely worth a visit.
