I chuckle when I see an article or review of a new Thai restaurant in Bergen County, and just turn the page.
Chef Wandee Suwangbutra remains at the top of her game in the kitchen of Wondee's, which she and husband Tom opened in 1997 on Main Street in Hackensack.
But in recent years, the rented space fell into disrepair, especially the dark-blue dining room carpet.
Tonight, when I walked in the back door off of the parking lot, I immediately saw that a new dark-wood floor had finally replaced the dirty, worn and torn carpet, which was patched with tape in places.
Our server said the new floor was installed about two weeks ago.
Wondee's has a full menu of fresh whole fish, seafood, pork, chicken, beef, noodles and soups, and spiciness can be varied.
But don't make the mistake of asking Wandee to prepare your food "Extremely Spicy."

| A new item, Shrimp Spring Rolls, were beautifully fried ($5.50). I also had a small bowl of Thome Yum Koong, a spicy shrimp-and-mushroom soup flavored with lemon juice, chili paste, kaffir lime leaves, galanga and lemon grass ($4). |

| A vegetarian selection is Yum Rod Pedt, a salad of crispy tofu served with shredded carrot, onion, orange and apple in lime juice and a mildly spicy chili paste ($10). |
