Tree Country Bistro (Thai Food) — Restaurant in Cleveland Heights

I'm editing my previous 3/3 review with this review. I've been here many times, but haven't been in a while after moving away from Cleveland Heights.

I was with a group of people and we ordered one dish per person to split between us. We got a Mango Chicken dish, Pad Thai, two Hawaiian rolls, Green Tofu Curry, and Bulgogi.

Fast forward 15 minutes later when the food arrives. At first I was surprised at how quickly the food came, but I soon realized why. The bulgogi was at most half a pound of beef. The Green Curry was ridiculously small. I would have needed at least two of either of those dishes for a meal. It's $13! What a joke. The special rolls also have gotten smaller as well.

After having a bit of each dish, here are my impressions. -Bulgogi: Not only a tiny portion, but tasted syrupy and bad. Not traditional at all and tasted too sweet. -Green Curry: This was actually really good. But the portion size was so unbelievably small. For $13, that is a joke. I've honestly gotten curry lunch specials for $5 with more food. -Hawaiin Roll: This was really good as well, but smaller than before. -Mango Chicken: Terrible. The vegetables and the chicken tasted like nothing, like they were just steamed despite there being a brown liquid in the dish. Way too watered down. Unless you had mango in the bite, it was just bad. And even then it wasn't that great. -Pad That: Really bad. It was dry and was very sweet with nothing to counteract that.

So the bill comes out to $92.XX (what a ripoff, we were still hungry) and my friend who was treating us gives the server $103. She goes up to get her change and the server looks at her and said "Usually you tip 15% or more." For one, she didn't even tip yet, he just assumed that the extra was the tip. Two, even if that was the tip, that's perfectly fine. $10 for bringing out a few plates and giving us water? And three, you don't tell someone how much to tip! It was unbelievably rude. Unfortunately, I didn't quite understand what was happening until after we left because the server when I asked what he just said he said "don't worry about it," but I can say one thing for sure. I'm never going back there to my previously favorite restaurant on Coventry. Maybe if the food was just "meh" I would have given them another...

NOT ALLERGEN SAFE. Ordered takeout off grub hub and specifically ordered peanut free, specifying I have a peanut allergy. Food arrived and it looked to have no peanuts in it (I always double check). I started eating and it was delicious. As I got towards the bottom of the container I started finding peanuts. I drove to the store with my food to show them and asked them how this could have happened. They said they didn’t know and that they cook the batches separately. I asked them to confirm that what I found was peanuts and even had them taste it and they confirmed it was peanuts. I asked them to refund my order and they said they couldn’t because it was through grubhub. So I asked for a gift card or credit for my family’s $60 order and they refused. The most they said they can do is write my name down for a free pad Thai in the future. No thanks - my life is more valuable than one free pad Thai. Super disappointed in the service. Steer clear if you have allergies. There is obviously a lot of cross contamination, even between batches they claim...

i always try to give a resturant a a fair chance before I post a review this place actually used to be good this is the second time I went here and received horrible food and service.I m so digusted I had to post , because a complaint is nothing , all of a sudden they speak no english. First I I went here for lunch and came out with a dinner entree. I asked the waitress numerous for a lunch menu ... apparently there is no lunch at 12:30pm , if you don't speak there native language you might have a problem , my food was hard and burned . my chicken was very dry ,when i asked what happened with that ,she acted like she didn't understand , my food was grosss,, I couldn't get any additional items like extra sauce or plum wine , it was like she was flaking me off ,Also it's never busy or else I would understand. Long story short , I didn't eat ,and 43$ later at lunch time , I was still hungry. This will be the last time they give me horrible service , at this resturant. .. I tried because of my two great experiences about...
