During our latest trek up to the Charm City, we hit My Thai for lunch. My experience was two-faced at this restaurant - the food and the service.
Let's get done with the bad part first - the service. Apparently, they are trying out a new ordering system here, with the fancy tablet looking order pad that our hostess was carrying. She had a bit of trouble getting our order in and then also bring us a couple of incorrect dishes. Also the service was slooooooooooow - I could feel Thai Basil growing from the base of our chairs! Luckily this was the extent of our bad experience.
The restaurant itself is deceptively large - looks small when you enter but has a whole big section at the back, past the bar. There is a cool looking open patio, but unfortunately it belongs to the restaurant next door. The decor and ambiance is very upscale looking and trendy, and the restrooms are real nice and fancy!
Food here is quite authentic and flavorful. We ordered most of our usual dishes and they did not disappoint! Tom Yum soup with Shrimp, Green curry chicken, drunken noodles with chicken, crispy duck ka prow, all dishes were quite good.
For dessert, we ordered the Mango and Sticky rice which was A-Ok since the mangoes were not sweet as expected.
All in all, a good place for some Thai food...
Read moreOne of the best meals I've had in a long time!! Had a Groupon (that the owner very kindly extended for me by a couple of days - thanks for that!) and went on Saturday. Had read good reviews but also some not-so-good ones, but I have to say I have rarely enjoyed a meal this much since I move to the US two years ago!! We had two wonderful starters - grilled calamari which had the most delicious seasoning and marinated beef skewers and rice cake, also incredibly scrumptious, followed by two mains - the crispy duck and Pad Woon Sen, a dish I had never heard of before but which was 0h-so-yummy (better than Pad Thai, in my opinion). They have a great drinks list, too, and the meal was made perfect by Ron, our outstanding waiter, who was not only super nice, but also extremely knowledgable - he really knew what he was talking about and what a nice change that makes to a lot of waiters who know nothing about the food they are selling!! We will definitely be back, and I will be lpoking for Ron when we go back. The only minor criticism would maybe be the ambiance - it's not a very cosy place, but that is secondary. If you want absolutely outstanding Thai food (it actually seemed almost fusion to me),...
Read moreI am so sad! This place used to be absolutely amazing. [Full five stars]. Great portions, delicious panang curry, and great thai tea!
I totally get everyone is hurting financially right now, but something is changing. The portion sizes haven't changed too much, but something is going on with the curry itself now?
In 2024, we used to get the panang curry and the container was absolutely [deliciously] flooded full with curry and I'd order extra rice because it was the absolute perfect sauce. The last two or three orders we've made, there has been maybe 1/3 of the former total amount of the sauce itself. [Portions of meat, carrots, and broccoli haven't changed much]. If the pricing of the meal doesn't reflect that former amount of sauce, I'd love for there to be a way to just order extra!
Completely unrelated, this is the first time we've gotten their [really excellent] thai tea with some unfiltered grit/leftover spices in it. Not a huge issue, but a new one.
Good pricing, good food, and a nice cozy shop space that we haven't eaten in just yet.
The quality hasn't changed much, but the...
