This place is very OK. The staff is lovely and friendly, they do accommodate for vegetarians, BUT the food just isn’t good. Your local fast food Chinese food would be about the same quality. And their Thai food is definitely lacking.
The good: their Pad Thai is fantastic. Very authentic, seasoned well. Could’ve used a lime wedge on the side to give some acidity to cut through the fattiness, but overall very good. The tofu is perfect, fried just enough to give it enough of a bite.
The bad: Their Szechuan chicken does not taste good. The chicken tastes like it is a giant glob of overcooked pasta where you don’t need your teeth to bite into it and instead it just kind of breaks apart with your tongue. Definitely did not taste like actual chicken but instead the EXACT type of chicken again at a fast food Chinese joint in the US.
The green curry dish could also use some fine tuning. We know they are using a green curry paste that you can buy at local Asian stores, but you would expect a little more coconut flavor in this dish. The green curry paste was overly concentrated, giving the dish too much saltiness and nowhere near enough coconut flavor and creamy aspects to the dish. Tofu again was great, but the Thai dish did not taste authentic.
They also include top in their bill!!! I gave the waiter cash rounded to the next euro and they did not give any change!!
Overall opinion: 3.5/5. I can’t give it only a 3 because I know the owners must be trying to run a successful business. But I also can’t give it a 4 because it isn’t a place I would go to again if given a choice. Remember, this is all my opinion, so take it...
