Sizzling Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Downey

We have been coming to this restaurant for at least 4 years. The food was good for the “price” and the service was great, very friendly staff. We have been supporting them along with our other favorite restaurants all through Covid. Tonight we ordered our regular food; pot of tom Kai coconut soup, large white rice and an order of Paradise fried rice. The total was over $36. When we looked at the bill, the base price of the Paradise fried rice went up from $11.95 to $15.95, an almost 35% increase (along with everything else, although they are still using the old menus so you don’t know how much the food is until you get the bill) I understand that times are difficult and restaurants have been especially hard hit with Covid so I could have accepted the price increase but then they also charged us $3.00 extra for the shrimp because unlike before at $11.95 that included both chicken and shrimp now it only includes one, to have both its extra. So in order for me to get the same dish as I had before at $11.95, it cost us $18.95, an increase of almost 60%!!! So not only did they increase their cost but they also give you less for more $$. Unfortunately I will no longer be supporting this restaurant, the value simply...

I used to go to this restaurant very often since my daughter used to live close to it. Now she lives too far from it and I have been eating Thai food at other restaurants in the Lakewood/Long Beach area. On a day that I was in Downey, I decided to go back. Seems it's under a new management. They changed the decoration of the dining room. It was very clean. The staff was different, not as attentive as the previous staff, but the menu seemed the same. Service was a little slow compared to my previous experiences. They keep the lunch specials, but I noticed that the portion size has been reduced. Still a bargain though. Food was delicious. I would say this is the reference I use whenever I rate Thai food. For me, this is still the best I have ever had. I'll definitely will go back if I'm in the...

I don't like to give bad reviews. However; I know you're expecting an honest review. Anyway; Zizzling Thai is the closest Thai restaurant to me for miles. So, Over the years I've overlooked a discrepancy here & there but this time it just went too far. I ordered a curry with fish because It's the ONLY meat I eat . they served me Chicken curry, so I sent it back. They thought I wouldn't notice that they brought me back the same curry in the same bowl with fish but failed to remove all the chicken 😜😝. BOOOOOO! A total violation, disregard & disrespect for my beliefs and my health. They only want to sell you something warm. Not clean, not nutritious, not healthy or life supportive. Soooo Sorry! But I will...
