Au Petit Thaï — Restaurant in Paris

Food is average. The problem is the service and attitude. We arrived with a 10 year old. They have nothing for kids - ok. We asked if they had salmon which they did so we asked for plain grilled salmon with steamed rice. “Impossible!” - the salmon is covered in a sauce and the chef cannot not put the sauce on the salmon. It would cause huge confusion. Really?! So I went to find take away food for my daughter to eat while we ate ours. When they saw this they were not happy and made an issue of it but we ignored them and insisted that our daughter be allowed to eat. In the meanwhile my Tom Kha Gai arrived which was totally inedible. The soup was a sour water. I lived in Asia for 20 years. Never have I tasted such rank Tom Kha Gai which by the way, they tried to charge us for. To get this removed from the bill was a huge fight but it was a matter of principle. I tried to explain that in any restaurant when the food is not edible and sent back it should not be charged. This is normal. The response was the “you are in France now!” It’s a nice looking place but unfortunately the food and especially...

Food was mediocre at best, expensive for the quality, and a waste of ingredients. I should have guessed when the food arrived less than 5 minutes after ordering it.

"Vegetables in green curry": the curry was watered down, and barely spicy (though it was supposed to be spicier than the red curry), and the dish was overall flavorless.

Pad Thai (vegetables/ chicken) had a little bit of spice to it, and was slightly more seasoned, but again, not pleasant to eat.

Rice with vegetables: the rice was bland, watery and oily at the same time, and overall a dissapointment.

Across all dishes: what were supposed to be delicious vegetables, ended up in that unpleasant area of being neither completely raw nor completely cooked, just unpleasant to eat.

On top of everything there was a slight moldy smell, significantly getting stronger as one went down to the bathroom. Decor wise, each table has a candle and some scattered rose petals straight on the table, but these ended up looking messy, like someone dropped food on the table.

Will not go back and do...

Terrible, unpolite and respectless staff toward me and my family during our grandfather's 80s birthday. We asked for fruit at 10.50 and they told us that the kitchen was closed already when it was suppose to close 10 minutes later. Moreover after arguing about this they started shouting to us and telling us off, (doing also the finger to my aunt) that we were late for the dinner (we were not, we arrived at 9.30 sharp), that we ate slowly and all kind of sterotyoes about italy. i really discourage you to go in this place since even the manager could not show a sign of respect to us. we are clients and we are experiencing your service and since we are paying it is the minimum to show at least a sign of respect and just apologize for the inconvienence. by the way the bill was 500€ and they kept shouting that we had to pay (we paid obviously). I repeat it is a matter of respect, it's not about money. Probably they are going to cancel my comment as they did to my uncle....
