I regret to say that my review of this restaurant isn't very positive. Unfortunately, this establishment seems to be more of quantity over quality.
Let's start with the beverage. I ordered an Arnold Palmer with strawberries and boba. The drink was very sweet, but that was not really an issue since I knew it would have been sweet with the strawberries added. But if you don't like sweet beverages, do not buy it as it is way too sweet. My biggest issue with the drink was that the boba balls were overcooked and hard.
The veggie rolls were huge, but they were extremely oily (you can see a picture of a napkin where I sat one of the egg rolls for 5 seconds). Although the veggie rolls were huge, they actually weren't very flavorful. The sweet and sour sauce helped, but I could taste the oil in every bite.
Lastly, I ordered the chicken pad Thai. Right off the bat, I got a very strong fish oil smell, and was just about all I could taste from the dish. I had to drown out the fish sauce taste with lime and Thai chili in order to be able to eat it. Just like the egg rolls, the pad thai was extremely oily as well.
I did not dine in so I cannot comment on the dine-in experience. What I can say is that the staff was extremely kind and attentive, it is just a shame that the food wasn't up to par to the service they provided.
Unfortunately, the establishment missed on so many marks that I will not be...
Read moreThis was like no Pad Thai I've ever tasted. It's a bright off red color which is strange because tamarind is not this color. I didn't like the taste. It wasn't terrible just odd. Also it was full of mainly raw red onions? Since it has scallions all these undercooked onions weren't necessary. The eggplant dish I had was full of big chunks of green bell peppers, no red as it was pictured in another review that I saw here and again not cooked enough very crunchy and of course full of barely cooked white onions. The eggplant was also not Thai eggplant so it looked black and was not as tender. I asked for no spice but it also had no real taste. I was looking for the salt on the table. There was none so I used soy sauce. The prices are low but if the meal is awful you will be upset you spent $25 as I did. I wouldn't come here again. Also Spanish music loudly playing from the kitchen is annoying in a Thai restaurant. I was hoping for a authentic Thai restaurant...
Read moreOne of the consistantly best eating houses in Los Angeles. Their Won Ton Chicken Soup is comfort food...at it's best! Cucumber/Carrot salad is cool and settling. The coconut drinks...in the hull...(right off the tree) are totally re-freshing. Thai tea, fresh lemonade with chia seeds...all the yummiest treats from this part of the World...prepared perfectly...with a light touch. This little culinary wonder is set in a fantasy umbrella land. The help is totally disorganized and you will wait...but it's all worth it. You just relax...enter the world of Thailand and flow. They are so kind and "happy"...no body cares! Last time I was there, I bumped into another restaurateur (with his family) who shared my opinion...it's one of the best. The price? Shockingly low! Three of us ate and drank for $21.00...and had pleanty left over. P.S. It was...
