Im Thaï Gourmet — Restaurant in Paris

Note: I’m writing a review based on two dishes: Pad Thai and Fried Rice.

I wanted to give this place a 2 star, but that might seem too harsh. First star for polite service, second star for edible Fried Rice, third star for staying open late.

This place is not for Thai people. I am Thai and I found the food here disappointing. Maybe it’s the French style, trying to adapt to French people palates. I ordered a Pad Thai, the most simple basic food. I thought to myself they can’t go wrong with this. Turns out, I was wrong. The Pad Thai was bland and oily. In the US, there are two versions of Pad Thai, the reddish color from using tomato paste and really sweet or the tamarind sauce version. This Pad Thai was neither. I don’t know what went wrong. The Fried Rice my husband ordered was oily too. He said it was edible, but still missing a taste. We live in Seattle and there are lots and lots of good Thai restaurants there and in the US, so I know what I’m talking about here.

I’m so sorry I’m Thai Gourmet. Maybe your other dishes are good. I may never get a chance to find out. But I do not recommend this restaurant to Thai tourists who are looking for that comfort of home...

Worst experience I’ve had at a Thai restaurant. From the moment we walked in, we weren’t welcomed at all — the waitress just pointed at an empty table instead of greeting us.

The food was terrible. The pineapple fried rice was completely ruined with an overload of turmeric powder. I’ve lived in Bangkok and eaten Thai food all over the U.S., and I know this dish — what they served was nothing close. The Tom Yum soup was no better: lukewarm, sweet, and lacking the spicy, tangy kick it’s supposed to have.

Even when I spoke Thai, the staff didn’t acknowledge me. To top it off, the waitress was openly gossiping when another group came in.

This place fails both in food and hospitality. Definitely not...

This is an absolutely wonderful Thai restaurant, withing walking distance from the Opera area. Their peanut sauce is spot on and their sea bass dishes are all great. Friendly wait staff who speak English provided prompt service and excellent menu recommendations. We will be back for sure on our next...
