Thai Paraty Matriz — Restaurant in Região Geográfica Imediata de Angra dos Reis

We had a vegetarian soup and Phad Thai Noodles. The soup was just some ingredients thrown together and heated up. Worst thing was that the lemongrass was left in the bowl but was not eatable at all. Usually things like this are removed before the dish is served, especially the huge quantity as we found in our case. The noodles were even worse. Not grilled at all their consistency was lush and overcooked. Most of the dish were those badly prepared noodles like 85%, then a lot of onion and garlic that were both not mentioned on the menu. The dish was over saturated with onions and garlic such that no other flavor could be sensed. However since the soup also didn't feel any like typical Thai Cousine the noodles probably have never seen any typical tempering either. A good point was that after we complained, the soup has been discounted from the bill of totally overpriced food that was absolutely unjustified. The person who talked to us later, claimed that there have never been complains like ours in 22 years since their existence which I researched a bit today and can say that she lied. Most of the 4 star rating actually have similar complaints as ours but still rated 4 stars which does not make sense to me. The atmosphere and decor were all artificial and came close to a cheap fast food restaurant, the tables were cheap and shaky and the walls hung with cheap prices of whatever it was. Not recommended, prices do not reflect the quality of the food, food not authentic and badly tempered. The waitress who seemed to be...

Not that authentic for us ardent Thai food lover and frequent visitors to Bangkok. But service was good so adding one more star for that. Overall if you lower your expectations you’ll be fine. The green curry with chicken and papaya salad with dried shrimp were close enough, while pad thai tasted like yakisoba - rice noodles stir fried with the usual yakisoba vegetables. It lacked the usual umami flavor bomb kick - would recommend adding a good dose of fish sauce and sugar. Being overall disappointed we decided not to order the mango sticky rice. At the very end, with nothing to lose, we experimented with adding the papaya salad shrimp liquid over the pad thai and that combination surprised us with the increase balance from the shrimp. For your...

I’m unsure how this restaurant has such high reviews. We were waiting +45 minutes for our food, which we didn’t get. We ended up leaving. When asked how much longer, we were told as we were the last ones into the restaurant, it would take another 20 minutes. There were 10 people to get food before us so that 20 minutes additional wait was not accurate. The table next to us got up and left. The table across from us got their last dish when everyone else at the table had finished eating. Completely disorganised. We were so disappointed that we wasted our time waiting so long. For the price of the dishes, you should not be waiting 90 minutes...
