I wanted to revise my original review because it is NOT the experience I have had in the subsequent 20+ visits I've had. I don't know what happened the first time, or if they changed their policies, but this is SERIOUSLY one of Baltimore's best Thai restaurants. I can't recommend it more highly. Please visit and see for yourself. Sept 2024.
From 2022: I really wanted to love this place, because the Drunken Noodles I got were among the best I've ever had. BUT, they cost me TWENTY DOLLARS (for a lunch-sized portion). We got nickel-and-dimed to death...to the tune of $60 for two noodle dishes and a summer roll. My daughter asked for 'some extra mushrooms' on her Pad Thai--and they charged her $3 (on top of the $14 regular price). I simply said 'more noodles than veggies' for my Drunken Noodles...and they charged $3 for 'extra veggies,' and $3 for 'extra noodles,' again, on TOP of the $14 charge. I called to talk to management about this before leaving a review, but they decided not to call me back. They should train their wait staff that if they're going to be that cheap and charge for everything ($3 for avocado in the summer roll) that the wait staff should forewarn customers. SO disappointed in what we paid for an otherwise good meal. Be warned!!!!! Ask ahead about extra charges, and then certainly don't pay them if you think the price is off. The bill we got at the table was not itemized (but seemed high, but my daughter settled up while I was using the restroom). We didn't know about any of these shenanigans until we got an emailed bill a couple of hours later. Bush league way to treat customers--without telling them. I fell like reporting this place to the Better Business Bureau. SO...
Read moreMy friend told me about this place and said it was open until 10. I was surprised. We got there at 9:15. They told us they weren’t seating anymore, but that they were still doing carry out. She got summer rolls and I ordered Panang Curry. Hers came out really fast, but it was very small compared to the last time she had ordered it. She showed me pictures from the last time she’d been there, and it was almost half the size of the ones she’d gotten before.
My curry dish had nine small cubes of tofu and three pieces of broccoli floating around in a thin curry sauce. On the menu it also said that it contains bell peppers and kafir.
We were already back to our cars, so I called them to let them know that it hadn’t contained all of the ingredients. They said that they usually put one slice of bell pepper, and they asked if I wanted one piece of bell pepper. I said no, I just wanted them to know that it wasn’t the same as was on the menu and they kindly apologized. I eat a lot of Thai food and this was a very paltry serving compared to what I’m used to. For $18 it wasn’t worth the value. The flavor and texture was delicious.
While we were waiting, I asked them what time they stopped seating for future reference (in case I wanted to come back), and he said 9:20. He started stammering when he realized that we had arrived before 9:20. We came to the conclusion that probably 9 o’clock was a safe bet, but I doubt we’ll be going back.
It’s possible that they just have bigger portions when you dine...
Read moreThis was my first time going to this restaurant. I ordered Pad Garlic and steamed noodles to-go. In the front there's a sign that states to-go orders should go to the front and I do so. There's a server who blatantly ignores us and and doesn't even acknowledge we are there. It's tiny in there and was crowded. As I'm waiting, a different server comes to the front in clear agitation states we can't be here as if the sign doesn't say come there. Two other people are waiting and say they've been waiting awhile for order thats should've been ready. Keep in mind i dont mind being patient. But the rudeness is not acceptable. A lady in the front area decided to go to the front and she took my name to listen at the front. I see the same rude server nicely ask two other woman for their names. So that was interesting. The lady says my name was called. Of course, you call my name in the front like I can hear you all the way in the back where you asked me to go. I told the server my name and he began barking about giving him the name. He nearly took my phone out my hand and read the whole page. The food was good, I enjoyed my meal. But the service was terrible. Awful first time experience. There are plenty of other thai restaurants with better service so I won't waste my time their again. It's...
