Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Alamogordo

Food/Taste/Flavor: 2/5 - Dinner for Two with Green Curry with pork at mild and Pineapple Fried Rice with pork at mild. The green curry was mostly bamboo shoots and green curry paste. You don’t really get the aroma for the coconut or basil and there was barely any bell peppers. It was very one dimensional flavor that was mostly just spicy. It’s a small portion of curry and TINY portion of rice so we did have to get additional food after.

The fried rice was disappointing as well since it was very salty and the rice was a bit mushy. The pineapple and slices of cucumbers were very necessary to offset the saltiness but it was still overwhelming. Flavor profile was one dimensional again of just salty. The two jar (maraschino) cherry was a bit confusing and didn’t fit the dish.

The Appetizer Sampler: the vegetarian spring roll was decent with a nice fry on the outside and packed with veggies on the inside. Not much flavor by itself, but there are multiple sauces you can try with and the texture was good. The chicken wings were very salty on the outside and dry on the inside. The fried wontons with pork filling…. Well, the sampler doesn’t specifically say so it could be just fried empty wontons since that’s what we think we got. One of the pieces had a tiny piece of protein but the others were empty. It was also fried to death

Ambience: n/a - ordered food to go. The front door has an obnoxious buzz that goes off ever time it opens. While the decorations are themed, the restaurant does feel messy as there are things everywhere. The restaurant does seem older as there are water stains on the ceiling tile and very harsh white light. A TV was in the corner with a sports game on but no music

Service: 5/5 - she was super nice and friendly and gave us multiple recommendations on what to get. She was attentive while she dealt with multiple customers and a pick up order at the same time

Value for price: 1/5 - First, the menu on their website is out of date so add $2-4 for every dish. Bad and expensive food makes this a...

Not great, not terrible. Started by ordering Thai Tea for both my wife and I and it had a weird chalky texture we weren't wild about.

Next, we ordered spring rolls for an appetizer and got egg rolls instead that had been cooked from frozen and were still cold in the middle. Those were super disappointing since actual spring rolls are cold, wrapped in rice paper and have rice noodles, cucumber, cilantro, sometimes carrots, and pork or shrimp for meat if desired. That item needs to be corrected on the menu, it is misleading.

The green curry with shrimp I ordered was genuinely not bad, if a bit thin. But the flavor was good and I didn't have big complaints. My wife liked her panang curry well enough, but she wasn't impressed in the end.

Overall, it's fine. Make a couple corrections and this place would be better. We might go back some day, but...

Alamogordo is notorious for rolling it's streets up after dark and with very little places to eat after 8:00 PM. This little Thai Cuisine is available until 8:30. We arrived sometime about 8:17. We knew what we wanted so we placed the order as soon as we sat down. Food was out to us in about 10 minutes and not two minutes after we got our food we have the man working the cash register asking us to hurry because everyone wants to go home. You need to give your customers time to eat, otherwise it is taken as a rude gesture to kick us out 2 minutes after we get our food. Close your doors at 8:00 PM and quit advertising that you are open till 8:30. Close your doors at 8:00 like every other place in town. This makes me feel like you just wanted our money and out the door we went. Thank you. Sure. We will try to make it in...
