Disappointing Experience – Unprofessional Service

I have been a regular at Sri Thai Atlantic Station, but after last night’s Valentine’s Day experience, I will not be returning. I understand that Valentine’s Day is a busy time, but that does not excuse poor service, lack of professionalism, and outright rudeness from staff.

We arrived for dinner and ordered an appetizer, a Thai tea, and our entrees. The Thai tea arrived 45 minutes later—with our food—and our appetizer never even made it to the table. We had to cancel it. Throughout the entire meal, our waitress never once came by to check on us or ask if we needed anything. We had to request her presence just to get basic service.

The biggest issue was when I tried to provide feedback on the Sri Thai roll. The shrimp tempura tasted like it had been fried in old oil, and I simply wanted to inform the waitress—not to get a refund, but so they could be aware and improve. Instead of listening, she immediately started talking over me, raising her voice, and getting defensive. Even my guests tried to calmly explain that we weren’t asking for anything, just making sure they knew about the issue so they could fix it for future customers. She refused to listen, continued interrupting, and got even louder, saying she would call the manager. As she walked away, I mentioned that she wasn’t listening, to which she yelled across the restaurant that she was.

The manager came over and apologized, but the damage was done. No customer should ever be yelled at by restaurant staff—especially not for calmly giving constructive feedback. Restaurants rely on customer experiences to grow and improve, but instead of listening, this waitress created a completely unnecessary scene.

I have dined at this location many times before, but after last night, I won’t be coming back. Customer service matters, and so does respect. If a customer is trying to provide feedback, listen instead of getting defensive. The way this was handled was completely...

My husband and I had a hankering for some good Thai food and ended up at Sri Thai. Getting there is a bit of a journey, since it's on a corner spot of Atlantic Station, and then a walk up some steep stairs (though an elevator is available). But once inside, the restaurant is snazzier than it appears on the outside. There are fresh flowers at each table, and I was delighted by the small electric lamps they placed at each table. Those dining on the balcony are greeted by a nice enough view of Atlantic Station.

"Look at the legs!" my husband exclaimed excitedly. He was talking about the hot, fried calamari appetizer that had just arrived at our table, with both rings and large tentacle pieces teeming from their container. We liked the sweet fish sauce that was served alongside, but we were a little less than enthused to find that the bottom half of the small serving pail was filled with fried rice noodles. Even for the smaller-than-expected serving size, we loved the taste of these.

A few hungry heartbeats later, our entrees were delivered to the table, and both hit it out of the park. I ordered the Chu Chee salmon - a salmon fillet with veggies in a bed of curry sauce. The sauce was on the sweeter side, with the faintest kick of spice on the back end. There were also a good amount of carrots, broccoli, sliced peppers, and baby corn providing some fun texture with each bite. It was a delicious and visually arresting plate, but I personally believe my husband's was even better. Each grain of of his pineapple fried rice was covered with some warm curry powder, with big chunks of chicken and pineapple throughout. We especially appreciated the generous amount provided, so that I could liberally steal gluttonous spoonfuls from his plate.

Service was excellent. Even on a weekend, there was no wait for tables, and Edward appeared at our table just enough times to take efficient care of us without feeling like he...
