THESEN ASIAN NOODLE BAR — Restaurant in Florida

My husband did not order a lunch menu item. As you can see, we are pretty familiar with your menu and we would know the difference. We were told by your server, which you know is what happened, that there was no way to make anything with seafood or lobster after ordering the Panang Curry with lobster. PLEASE don't say it was because of a lunch order confusion. The least you can do is recognize this after recognizing the rest of the review as accurate. I don't appreciate being called out falsely.

———— Edit: I wish my review didn’t have to change. But after several visits after my initial review, the service and overall food quality has changed. Servers pushing you out to leave after not finishing your meal (he took my plate and then after asked if I was done), lunch complimentary appetizers are sometimes given and sometimes not. Today we were told they started after we arrived (12:30pm). My husband ordered the curry and they didn’t have seafood available; who doesn’t have seafood available. The servers are just not in top of it like in the beginning, they are chit chatting and don’t even look at the customers.

———— Shhh…. I wish to keep this place secret 🤫 been here about 1-2x/week in the last month. Love it. Quality, price and service! The food is yummy and so tasty. We have even ordered take out and do our company lunches here. Our staff also loves it, hopefully they keep it up so we can...

Me and my cousin were really excited to try this restaurant out and, for this reason, tried to remain patient as we waited 20 minutes for a table. There were two open tables and two tables waiting to be bussed. Once we were finally seated, we waited another 20 minutes before standing up and leaving. In this time, we were not greeted or asked our drink order despite multiple servers wandering aimlessly. After we were seated, a group of four walked in who were clearly friends with one of the servers. They were instantly seated and in the time we spent waiting, their friend brought them two rounds of drinks and took their order. Another separate server even came over and greeted the table, even though we had yet to even be acknowledged directly, at which point we were fed up and walked out. I don't think they knew we spoke Spanish, because I overheard a conversation in which we were acknowledged and then intentionally ignored by staff. This place is messy and unprofessional. Unless you enjoy not being prioritized due to a lack of interpersonal relationship, you're better off at the Chipotle next door. Will...

Long story short: EXCELLENT ALL AROUND! Long story long: We just arrived Marco Island and were shocked at how expensive most things are on the island. After a couple of days, we opted to dine off-island and found Thesen Asian Noodle Bar. In the past week, we have gone there 3 times and each time it has been outstanding: the food, the staff, and the ambiance. It is also decently priced for this area. No wonder the place is busy every time we've been! Over our 3 visits (so far), we've had the Wonton Noodle Soup, TomYum Seafood Noodle Soup, Duck Pad Thai, Tofu Pad Thai, Pork Pad Thai, and Massaman Curry. Every one of these dishes was incredible! We are glad to be staying a month in the area because we will...
