Thai Style — Restaurant in Carlsbad

Ordered online amd went to pick it up. The whole food court is On Fire! So many families, young people, with good music background and very nice vibe! Everybody was happy, calm, smiling, friendly, I was nicely suprised! When i found the Thai Style, I was surprised again, the front girl, who is very authentic, friendly, organized, efficient, she is not Thai, but African American! Then all staff in the kitchen, are Mexican! And when I got the food (which is immediately!), the food smells and feels So Gooood. I went back tje hotel room, and we dived in! In a gllomy day like this, we have fresh coooked food: meat, soup, noodle and rice, xooked perfectly. Are they Thai American, like Elon Musk is African American? Hahahahah, they really did a good job, impressed 2 Asians who know how to cook (both American and Asian cuisines) very well! So, drunken noodles has no pictures because it went down so fast. Both soups, tom yum kung and tom yum gai are good, come with different veggies which says a lot about how much they care ❤ 😀 Jasmine rice is cooked to perfection too. Everything is super fresh. The taco restaurant on Carlsbad BLVD we went yesterday was unhappy about my negative review, and I didnt even mention the grilled fish in their taco was unfresh and stinky, one taco prices at $5.95....at a McDonald kind of set-up place aka "semi-self service" per the owner....I am thinking to take down one star from the original 2 star rating. I had a bad upset stomach until late night after the meal last night, meanwhile I have diguest the errogant reply from the restaurant owner. I dont want to waste my time to tell her, because I will have nothing nice to say but 1, if you dont feed customerswith stinky fish, your business might not suffer as bad as it is. And 2, xome and check out all the excellent food places in this Food Mall, the food all smell great and customers all look happy. They dont swem have a hard time to survive, and they dont have to deceive customers by charging high prices for rotten food. No place is out of business although they dont have a premium location like you do. An honest business with good staff like Thai Style, will always thrive and be loved. I will definitely come...

I tried this place on a whim! So many choices in the food court and Thai just sounded good! Honestly the food was okay, nothing memorable but definitely not horrible! The 2 star rating was more for the woman working the register. Not pleasant, would not smile. Really put across that she was angry that we walked up! I let it go but then sat at a table and watched her interact with other paying customers and seen the same frustration and intolerance to them as well. She is definitely the wrong person for that job. Left me feeling like my 50.00 dollars plus tip should have been spent at any of the other restaurants! I am not saying she should be over the top bubbly, however just any kind of people skills would be nice. Sorry to have spent $50.00 dollars at your establishment and put you through so much of a hassle! If she is yhe owner she needs to find someone else to work the front and I would say I feel bad for anyone who has to work with her every day. But again the food was okay. Based on the food I might try again but if she is at the...

FINALLY a Thai restaurant that uses dark chicken meat for their yellow curry, slow braises it along the potatoes in the sauce and doesn't use yellow food coloring. Almost every Thai place around uses white breast meat which is dry and tough compared to dark thigh and leg meat and always tastes like they parboiled it in water 5 minutes before they dump it in the curry sauce for serving. This allows these restaurants to offer a bunch of different kinds of proteins like beef or shrimp with different curry sauces, but since the meat is cooked separately from the sauce, it doesn't absorb the complex flavors and spices. Same with potatoes, most restaurants quick fry or bake the potatoes separately instead of slow cooking it in the sauce which makes the texture and flavor different. At this place, you can tell they slow cooked the new potatoes in the actual sauce. The only negative is it was kind of pricey at $14 for lunch, but I'll give that a pass since the location it's in probably has expensive rent. ...
