Stayed in nearby Seaside, Oregon for a 3 day 4th of July vacation. We wanted to give the new Thai place a shot. Google and Yelp had all 5 star reviews so far. Thai food is one of our favorite cuisines. Every city we go to, it's one of the first choices that we look for. Ranging from some of the best like Pok Pok in Portland and Lotus of Siam in Las Vegas to some of the worst like any Thai restaurant set up in your neighborhood mall food court. We walked into the restaurant and were greeted with live music played in the corner. It was a nice touch but we preferred to sit away from the noise, so we sat in the back corner near the bathroom. We ordered the pineapple fried rice and chicken red curry. Fried rice came out greasier than most fried rice dishes that we've had. They used frozen peas and carrots with onions and the flavor was okay. Definitely would not order again. The red curry came out with lots of sliced purple eggplant and bamboo shoots. Red curry normally is my favorite dish, but there is something to be said about overwhelming the broth with too many vegetables, in this case eggplant. The flavor was just ordinary. Nothing that blew me away. It wasnt sweet like I would taste with coconut milk in most curries. Overall, we were disappointed with the food. But the real reason why I choose to post this review is because of the service provided by our waitress was 0 stars out of 5. First off, she never smiled or gave us her name. Second, when the food was ready, she slammed it down on the table. We ordered a curry based soup but were given only forks to use. Try eating a soup with a fork. When my wife asked for the spice rack, she didnt even acknowledge her request and returned with the spice rack without a word spoken. When it came time to pay, we left the cash on the table as we were getting ready to leave, my wife told her to keep the change, we left $45 on a $40 bill. She didnt even say thank you. We know that 15% is recommended but this lady didnt even deserve 1.5%. I honestly wished that we gave the $5 to the guy who was playing the guitar because he was the coolest thing this place has going and we dont even care about the music. The waitress needs to find a different gig because serving guests is not her strong suit. The restaurant had openings available and their criteria said that you had to be nice and friendly. I sure hope that they find that person because she sure wasnt our server last night. So disappointed. If I could give zero stars for service, I certainly would. Avoid this place unless you dont care about guest hospitality and crave average Thai food. I'd rather spend my...
Read moreThe food was fine except not spicy when we asked for level 4 spice and served in tiny dishes that made it very hard to mix with rice. The atmosphere is cute but confusing because it was Cuban music and decor in a Thai restaurant. All of that would have been fine and not a big deal but I would give this place zero stars if I could because the service was abysmal.
We ordered potstickers that never came and twice my boyfriend asked for a beer and was never given one but pretty sure we were charged for it because the final bill was more than the price of the food we ordered.
We were the only people in the restaurant when we ordered and the server wrote our order down so not sure how he could forget. We also watched him screw up a takeout order—forgot to give them rice so they had to come back and the order of the table next to us—-gave the woman a dish with tofu when she had ordered chicken. They remade the dish for her and then he served it to another table. That third table ordered wine and they never received it. There were 6 customers total in the restaurant while we were eating so it was by no means busy. The server spent most of him time standing around or on his phone and has absolutely no business being in the restaurant industry. One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had and I highly recommend steering clear of...
Read moreHow this restaurant got such good reviews is beyond me. The food was fine, however everything else about the place was bad:
Service was slow. We had a party of six and they served one person at a time. So, if the person didn't want his food to get cold, he had to eat his meal right away. By the time one person finished, another person would finally be served. So, by the time the sixth person finally got his food the rest of us were already done.
Staff was rude. It was like we were burdening them by wanting food at their restaurant. Gee, sorry we're patronizing your establishment!
Portions were dinky. Although the food was fine, the portions were small. Way too small considering your price. What about those of us who'd like a decent sized meal?! I don't expect super-sized meals, but more than a side dish. C'mon, man!
Prices were too steep. For the price, I'd expect a lot more food and better customer service. C'mon, man!
Strange Cuban vibe. Cuban music and art adorned the wall. I'm a big fan of Cuban culture, but I'm at a Thai restaurant. Why the disconnect?
In conclusion, ixnay on the...
