We went here on New Year’s Day for dinner and were seated without hesitation. We ordered delicious cocktails and loved them so much that we ordered another round. Shoutout to the bartenders. But before we realized it, more than an hour had passed and our food had not arrived. It turns out the kitchen was understaffed, leading to a horrible time for everyone, servers, cooks, customers. So many other tables sat for an eternity with no food on the table and worst of all, no communication.

Why would you continue to receive people in the restaurant and hide the fact that food would take 100 minutes before it arrived? And further more, why would you not tell people upfront that they would be sitting there, hungry for over an hour and a half?

I’ll definitely return to try the Pad Kee Mao with shrimp and the Pad Kra Pao with shrimp to see how they stack up.

As for pricing, this restaurant is on the higher end compared to other Thai spots in town. This location is not as accommodating as others. It is the first place that has charged me extra for...
