Review: At Thai Village, the sauces shine and the menu is extensive with appetizers, entrees and sushi (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I want Asian food, I frequent a number of small mom and pop restaurants in assuming strip malls thatâs more geared for carryout than dine in. Thai Village at Cornerstone of Centerville has taken the opposite approach.
