The menu now has a section devoted to Thai and Lao food and the walls of the dining room sport hand-woven fabrics from Laos. But longtime patrons of Oriental Coast will find their favorite dishes. The Chinese items are still on the menu, though with several minor modifications in the preparation. A good place to start is with steamed shrimp dumplings arriving in a bamboo steamer. A good test for any Thai restaurant is how well they prepare the spicy salads. Locally, curry sauces are normally too tame. At Oriental Coast, be careful when ordering spicy sauces for the Thai dishses. The kitchen uses fresh hot peppers that are very potent. Oriental Coast is one of the rare Chinese restaurants where vegetarians will not feel ignored. The carryout menu lists non-meat 15 entrees
