Thai Smile — Restaurant in Hamden

Overall both of the meals we had here were good. The food is fairly simply prepared, but it's tasty, and not overly done with spices or extraneous items. I was able to taste every element of the food, as opposed to it all being watered down into a kind of generic blend. We did think the pad thai was a little bit on the Tangy side, but we did not mind that at all.

The interior of the restaurant was very clean, I believe this is a relatively new place, and the service was excellent. The food came out very quickly, which was nice because we were in a little bit of a rush that particular day. This was very close to being 5 stars, but there was just the tiniest little something missing from the food, and also there was a rather unusual scent in the restaurant when we walked in.

Pricing was very inexpensive, and I would recommend this for a tasty, fast meal if you're in the area. One drawback is that parking off-street is fairly limited, although you should be able to park on-street without...

My friend and I heard good things about Thai Smile, so last night we gave it a try. It totally surpassed our expecations. I was concerned that on a friday night it was so quiet. We were promptly greeted and took some time to look over extensive menu. we ordered soups (Tom Yum Goong, and Tom Kha Gai) and my friend and I tested each others and couldn't decide which we liked better as they were both delicious. His was loaded with fresh shrimp and mine was very abundant with chicken. We also ordered the Fresh Spring Rolls for an appetizer to share. One thing we both noticed immediately was how fresh the rolls were. Veggies were crispy and the accompanying sauce was nice and tangy. My main course was the seafood madness and my friends ordered a shrimp curry. Both were outstanding in preparation, taste, freshness and presentation. Mine was loaded with scallops, shrimps, calamari and mussels...mmmmm. The prices were very reasonable. I will be back and...

I ordered two chicken drunken noodles last week. The noodles were stuck together in clumps and appeared to be a day or so old. The shrimps and chicken were old and hard as well. That's too bad, I mean I love Thai food but its a shame when the owner puts profits ahead of fresh quality food. When I called to explain the quality of the food, the girl there was very unhelpful and unapologetic. I said to her we probably wont buy food from you any more if you cant fix this problem. Her replay was "Please don't by food any more" and Thank you for not buying food! really pretty bad attitude especially when you called them to help them with a problem they have. Very ungrateful, rude and third world quality food. I have a suspicion or just a gut instinct the seniors that work in the back are not throwing away bad food but reusing it. I do not recommend or trust the quality or very poor service from...
