I feel compelled to explain this negative review. I believe the bad food comes from either lack of information or misinformation. First, a basic premise: There should be chicken in a chicken dish. Some restaurants actually put the main ingredient in their food but this place practices portion control. The hot and sour soup you order should be spicy and flavorful, it is as its namesake states, Hot and Sour soup. The taste is a matter of liking bland dishwater or a well made soup so I can only comment on the hundreds of actual good meals I have eaten. There are a few outliers in every industry I regret my palate expects taste. Regarding the pricing, it’s overpriced. Mcdonalds and Taco Bell have a customer base that returns continuously and that is what this place strives for to keep the same customers happy. Of course if this place is use to mediocre I could understand their chagrin, but only due to their lack of information. I hope the owner is now so informed and will improve their food and so I can further answer any other questions they may have.
Ordered some takeout from here and was very disappointed. First it's a bit pricey for Thai food but that's ok if the food is good but it isn't here. Had the hot and sour soup which was just filled with some broth and spices and did not taste good. The fresh garlic chicken had almost no chicken in it but tons of filler veggies. Not a good meal at all. Plenty of better...
Read moreI have been to this place over ten years ago and have since forgotten about it. I just happened to turn into the plaza looking for a place to eat and remembered this Thai restaurant was here. I decided to give them my business tonight. I am pleased I did. The service here was top notch. They say me down immediately. I had a server approach me within a minute or two to ask if I wanted anything to drink or if I had my order already planned out. I happened to see something on the menu that caught my eye. Peanut sauce. I ordered a plate of peanut sauce with beef. I was asked how spicy I would like my food. I was told the levels were 1-4. I chose 4. The server also mentioned to me that if I requested it, I may have it even spicier than that! How nice of her to inform me. So the food came out within 15 minutes. It was presented to me in a very decorative fashion. Someone took the time to arrange the carrots to look like the top of a crown. This was a nice touch. I was served a nice portion of rice. He even asked if I wanted more and then gave it to me. The food was delicious!! It wasn’t overbearingly spicy and the food was very well prepared. I am glad that I stopped in tonight and gave them my business. I hope more people will come and check this place out for themselves. Overall 5 stars. Will come back again or order takeout. Thank you once again for the...
Read moreQuite possibly one of the worst, least authentic Thai restaurants around. Every dish was so ridiculously sweet that it was like dessert.
Restaurants just seem to get lazy - and instead of using spices/herbs/seasonings they just throw in more oil and sugar and hope people won't notice
We ordered: Papaya Salad Pad See Ew Spring Rolls Pad Thai Red Curry Chicken with Basil Sauce
First, I would be being generous if I said that the $13 or $14 papaya salad had even 1/2 cup of papaya. It looked like a lot, but it was a small mound of papaya plopped on top of a bunch of iceberg lettuce. Papaya salad should be sour/spicy/funky/sweet. But it was ONLY sweet. No fish sauce, no spice, no lime, no dried shrimp. Just sweet chili sauce of some sort. 0/10
Spring Rolls - tasty, typical nothing extraordinary
Pad Thai - inedible. Super sweet and missing any complexity at all. Tasted as if they opened a jar of grocery story pad thai sauce - didn't have dried shrimp, tamarind, garlic.... just blech. It went right in the trash
Pad See Ew - tasty but again, overly sweet
Curry - good flavor , far too sweet. No funky flavor from fish sauce, just canned curry paste with a ton of sugar
Chicken with Basil - ok, but again way too much...
