Had an unbelievably disappointing experience with this restaurant this evening. My partner ordered curry from Uber eats. We have called and spoken with this restaurant before, as he has a life threatening allergy to peanuts and legumes. They have been in the past, extremely accommodating, with the chef even going as far to explain exactly what dishes/broths contain peanuts and what is safe, of which we have a list and always send a reminder. We order somewhat frequently and have always loved this food.
Tonight was a polar opposite. We ordered as usual, with a note, and lo and behold, my partner experienced itching and hives upon touching the bag. Imagine my shock to open it up and find a plastic container of all things, crushed peanuts. Peanuts don’t even come with this curry.

I also ordered a thai tea - instead I was given a can of banana boba tea. There is a large sign on the side of the building that proclaims proudly, "under new management." I hope the new management gets its act together. This was a very unpleasant and expensive experience. $28 bucks for pad thai, a quart of plain noodles, and can of tea. Won't be ordering again anytime soon. There are lots of "meh" Thai places in Syracuse that will get your order right. This was not one of them. In case you were wondering, I did try to go back and have this fixed, but they had locked the door and didn't respond to...
