Ubon Thai — Restaurant in Denver

We ordered 4 dishes - 80 bucks of food. I tasted 3 of the dishes (2 panang currys and a green curry) and they were... off, it tasted weird, not at all like panang curry, seemed watered down with very little seasoning. An analogy: Imagine ordering lemon garlic chicken and it not tasting at all like lemon or garlic - I don't even know what to say it tasted like. It didn't taste bad, but it didnt taste good. But because it didnt taste anything like what it should have tasted like, I ended up not even eating it and gave the leftovers to some homeless dudes... Gf says the soup was ok. Ive been eating curry from many places for many years, made it myself, once was a sous chef in an asian cuisine restaurant... it was weird and not good. Wish I requested a refund or something but we ordered carry out and obviously not...

Came here for my mom's 70th bday to grab a quick bite. It was an awful experience. Just trying to park in the parking lot wasn't easy. The staff wasn't good being they were hard to understand and not helpful. I had to go to them to put in our order, ask for a to go box, and our bill. Their were 3 people working there and only 3 tables were taken so it's not like they were busy. The one guy I'm pretty sure was the manager nor our waiter asked how our food was. The food wasn't very tasty either. We shared 4 appetizers and the wontons and veggie rolls were very bland and mushy. The wings and shrimp were good though. They all come with sauce and it's very sticky but no wet wipes and tried asking for a bathroom but they didn't understand us. We will...

We decided to try Ubon Thai after cruising the Highlands farmers market. We asked for the back patio seating and it was an excellent choice. Seclusion from the main road and sidewalk, quiet enough to have conversation, shaded enough that the sun didn't bake us.

Got the crab rangoons to start and I was impressed with the quality. Asked our server for their best dish and she recommended the Cashew Nut entree with pork. I generally avoid pork because most places hammer it, but they cooked it perfectly. Also ordered the Pad Kee Mao to see how they did a typical dish and that was also excellent! Spice levels were great, too. Didn't destroy the taste buds but sent the right message.

Definitely a return...
