Probably one of the worst experience I've had dining at a restaurant. There's not one single positive I can think of. Definitely avoid this place.
The place is pretty small, only a few tables to dine. There were a family of 4 there at one table. We sat at the table next to them. The table was dirty and had a used toothpick that I accidently put my arm on. Our server was occupied by the family of 4 so we didn't get seen until 5 mins after we sat down.
We ordered panang curry, roasted duck w/ vegetables and rice, and iced thai milk tea. It took a long time for the food to come out. The iced thai milk tea was forgotten about until we were practically done with our food. At that point, I declined to receive the drink. The panang curry was unremarkable but the roasted duck was gross. The duck and vegetables were swimming in oil/fat puddle.
The absolute worst part of the experience is the chef coming out from the kitchen and having an open conversation in spanish with someone on the phone about giving medicine to pigeons with parasites and ways to cook them. I wish I was making them up but I am not.
The atmosphere is poor as well. A couple TVs but a bunch of kids running around screaming as well as riding a...
Read moreA great hole in the wall, family run, Southeast Asian restaurant! They have Thai and Japanese staples like Thai curry, pad thai, fried rice, and sushi — but make sure you try their Burmese food!
This was my first time trying Burmese cuisine. The tea leaf salad was GREAT - and not at all what I expected! It’s not a “leafy green” salad like Western salads. It’s very savory, garlicky, and crunchy! The pickled tea leaf is a subtle note behind the big flavors and textures of “crispy pea, peanut, sesame seed, crispy garlic, cabbage, tomato, and lemon”. So so so flavorful, hearty, and refreshing.
We also liked the Burmese Rice Noodle Soup (Kyay oh): “Choice of chicken / pork, served with chicken broth, tofu, Chinese rice noodle, ground pork, choi-san, scallion, egg, crispy garlic, and house special sauce on the side”. The flavor is delicate and nourishing!
And last but not least - you can’t go wrong with Thai iced tea and boba.
We went in person and ordered take-out. The young man who took my order was very nice and helpful!
We’ll definitely be back. Hopefully to dine...
Read moreI have only been here once, but already fell in love! I recently moved from the west coast and had tried nearly all the thai places in my town. Family Thai here in Buffalo is one of the best yet! I got the pad woon sen and the ingredients were fresh and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I asked for medium spice, and it was spiced exactly to what I would consider a medium. Most thai places seem to add spice with chili flakes, but here they used actual fresh peppers to add the heat, which makes the spice linger while retaining a pleasant flavor. I could taste each element of the dish and not one element overpowered the other. I got takeout and it was still hot but not too hot that I couldn't eat it. I also got a thai tea which was one of the best I have had, mostly because the cream they use is rich. Plus, the service felt really friendly and I like the home atmosphere. I will...
