Iyara thai cuisine — Restaurant in George Town

Food is below average and prices are above average. In that sense, I do not find this place worth visiting again. Service is alright but the owners need to be better at managing their customers when the restaurant is busy. I visited on the 3rd day of CNY, and although the shop was full, the waiters/owner did not tell us that the wait for the food will be exceptionally long. Why exceptionally long? We ordered at 9.20pm and got our food at 10.35pm. When the food finally arrived, the rice that we got was undercooked, probably because they couldn't cook enough in time. When we asked for the rice to be replaced, they said that we will have to wait for the next batch to be cooked. Obviously, we decided to just eat the undercooked rice. All these plus the fact that the food isn't any good to begin with anyway, just don't...

We went there for the first time after hearing good things about the place. Two of us ordered seafood tomyam soup, green curry n mango salad. Food came in 20 minutes which we didn't mind because there were others waiting. Seafood tomyam hit all the right buttons. Not too spicy but just right n it was filled with prawns, fish fillet n mushrooms. As proof of our satisfaction, please note the photo below showing the totally "polished off" pot of tomyam soup. Green curry chicken was decent but nothing earthshaking. Mango salad is good. For dessert, we enjoyed Thai cincau lemonade n chestnuts in coconut milk. Overall, it was a satisfying evening for our bellies. Will surely return. Any complaints? Service not too attentive. Place is simple n spartan but clean n comfortable.

Very BAD customer service. First and last time. A guy by the name of Patrick took our order. We ordered Som Tam but he said no Som Tam today. We proceeded to order fried rice. Guess what? No fried rice on weekends. The kitchen cannot cope. We should have walked out. We ordered Pad Thai instead. We got glass noodles instead! We queried on it and Patrick put the blame on us..saying we pointed at the wrong item in the menu. And to top it off.. he actually showed how agitated he was by the tone of his voice. Best part.. we did not have the menu with us when we ordered the Pad Thai. So how could we have pointed to the wrong item? Nothing special about their menu. There are other places to eat around Iyara. Go at the risk of Patrick spoiling...
