Blossom Thai — Restaurant in Melbourne

We spent approximately $178 on our meal (which I found overpriced for each dish) and, unfortunately, found the food quite disappointing. Many dishes were either overly salty—extremely so—or completely lacking in flavor.

For the entrées, we ordered Boo Ja and Crying Tiger, which were acceptable. However, the main dishes were underwhelming. The Blossom Ginger Barramundi was bland, and the Nuer Aroy (sliced marinated beef stir-fried with a special sauce, onion, cashew nuts, spring onion, and sesame seeds) was excessively salty, with some pieces tasting burnt. The Chicken Pad Thai, a staple Thai dish, lacked authentic Thai flavor and tasted more like a version adjusted to suit Western tastes. Additionally, I specifically requested “no peanuts” for the Pad Thai, and the gentleman taking my order confirmed this, but it was still served with peanuts, which was concerning.

The Rockling Fish with Black Pepper (served without the hot plate for safety reasons) was overly salty and heavily seasoned with pepper, making it difficult to enjoy.

On the positive side, the gentleman serving us was exceptionally friendly and professional, which we greatly appreciated. His service deserves commendation and is the reason for the 5-star rating in that regard.

Unfortunately, the food itself fell short of our expectations, especially compared to other Thai restaurants we frequent, such as Kin Thai at Chadstone, which offers more authentic Thai flavors. Overall, the dishes at this establishment seemed to be tailored more for Western tastes, which was disappointing given our preference for authentic Thai cuisine. The experience left us questioning how the establishment maintains a...

I ordered from here on UberEats because the reviews looked incredible. However the two for one deal clearly seems to be some sort of way for them to churn out food with no effort as the noodles I ordered were some of the most bland and flavourless I've ever eaten. Tiny handful of vegies, tiny portion overall and just really sub-par. Looked nothing like the photos either. The two takeaway serves were probably equivalent to one main that you'd order in the restaurant.

Not very fair to draw people in with a deal and then reduce the quality :( Very disappointed.

[Edit] Since there doesn't seem to be a way to reply, I'll just add it here. I understand times are tough but if you are telling me it's OK to cut corners at the customer's expense to save money on a promotion then that's why this review will stay here. As mentioned I checked photos of this dish, it was missing key ingredients and was half the size. So you didn't make it properly and that's why I'm upset. If you want to try again, then I'd be interested in giving it another go and adjusting my review...
