Baan Thai — Restaurant in Apex

I was excited to try this place because I've heard good things. I ended up disappointed. Altogether spent $49 for 2 entrees and an appetizer (not including tip). It's too expensive to eat out now to not be satisfied. 😔

Things I tried:

Appetizer: Larb Chicken Price: $13 Thoughts: This was about a half a cup of ground chicken with iceberg lettuce, 2 slices of cucumber and some carrot shreds. It was okay, I guess I wouldn't order it again and absolutely cannot figure out what I'm paying $13 for.

Entree: Pad Z-Ew Price: $15 Thoughts: I was excited for the noodles but this was just not great. The noodles were so mushy and stuck together and didn't seem fresh. The broccoli wasn't soggy, which was a plus. I was hoping for a great noodle dish and this just didn't add up. Very mediocre. Not flavorful or fresh. On the plus side the portion size was generous! Would not order again.

Entree: Khao Soy Chicken Price: $16 Thoughts: This dish was very good! The broth was very flavorful and creamy and spicy as I requested. This was the only dish that was full of flavor. The sides of red onion, green onion and crispy onion were packaged nicely on the side to keep it fresh. I was given a side of noodles, which was only filled 1/4 full. This one gets a thumbs up, however i probably still won't...

I wish there was a half star to give. Had ordered a combo food which was pad thai and chicken soup. My husband ordered red curry with spring roll combo. Since v r vegetarians, I asked if I could take out chicken soup and replace it with veg spring roll. They said they can't do it. I was okay with that and just asked them to get paid Thai.

It was the worst pad thai I have ever tasted. It was with red sauce and there were hardly any veggies or tofu inside it. It smelled terribly bad. I asked the staff if they could switch it to red curry cuz I didn't like it.

She was so damn rude. She said they make what they make and can't change it on the likes of customer. I have never seen such an arrogant staff.

I had ordered unsweetened ice tea and my husband ordered sweetened tea. I didn't find any difference between the two drinks in terms...

The restaurant is well located with plenty of parking. Done in was like a ghost town but they were doing a lot of take out. It took a few minutes to get seated and be waited on but once we did the process was quick.

While individual items are not marked the menu notes that gluten free options are available. Our server was very knowledgeable of what was gluten free and what could be modified to be gluten free. I’d say 2/3 if the menu could be made gluten-free. When they food came out he confirmed that the dish was gluten free when serving it and a gluten free note was on our bill. I got drunken noodles and they were super tasty.

For those that also need to watch dairy be aware that they use regular milk/cream in addition to coconut milk in...
