Came here based on great reviews, but really had a pretty bad experience. Service was... I think "bizarre" would be the right word. The waitress was not friendly at all and seemed to generally ignore the existence of our almost 4 year old son (when we asked for plates she brought 2 instead of 3, same with silverware). We had three dishes, a chicken curry bowl, an egg noodle dish with broccoli, and chicken satay. The curry was very good, but the noodle dish had a really foul flavor and the satay, while having a good tasting marinade, was riddled with large chunks of fat and gristle. I cook quite a bit but I've never encountered chicken with this much fat in it. Definitely didn't give me great confidence in the quality of the meat.
Prices are a little high for what you get - every entree will cost around $11. Bathrooms are... unpleasant to be in, but that's more of an issue of age than maintenance. Waitress tried to push all customers into paying cash and then seemed frustrated with them when they relayed that it's no longer 1985 and no one carries cash anymore. Would have been a 1 star review, but the curry bumped...
Read moreWe just moved near Federal and have been on the hunt for great Thai restaurants in the area. We lived near Chada Thai for years and have been looking for a new Thai haunt. Unfortunately, we may not return after our recent meal.
We ordered the crab cheese wontons, pad see ewe, and drunken noodles. The crab cheese wontons are the only reason I am giving two stars, because they were fabulous. The pad see ewe and drunken noodles were very bland. To be fair, we order food we are trying for the first time with no spice in order to get a sense of the flavors and not just the heat, but both dishes had absolutely no flavor. We had to add a decent amount of oyster sauce, soy sauce, and chili garlic sauce at home to make it have any flavor at all. Not worth the calories...
I am really sad that this was not a great experience since the reviews are very high for SUVIPA. We may consider trying it again in the future for some of the dishes mentioned by other reviewers (green curry and holy basil chicken), but it seems this is not the place if you like dishes with flat...
Read moreI was going to meet 2 friends at our favorite Thai restaurant on Monday April 4, 2022, however, before we left to go we decided to check on the time they opened. Unfortunately, they are closed on Mondays.
Since we were all in the mood for Thai food, my friend searched for a Thai restaurant. Apparently this place was only place open on Monday and it had good reviews.
When we arrived, around noon, we noticed that we were the only customers. The dining area was dingy and didn't look that clean. We decided to give it a try since wee were already there so we chose to split an appetizer (spring rolls) and were disappointed when our server claimed that they didn't have them. We reluntly ordered the egg rolls. They were mediocre at best.
Our entrees were served one at a time, a few minutes apart, so by the time the third entree was served, the first entree was Luke warm. I ordered the chicken Pad Thai and although there was enough to take a portion home, it wasn't great.
My friends felt the same way about their entrees. We cannot recommend this place and...
