Alright, I'm going to be a critic here but that is not going to take away from the 10/10 incredible vegetarian and vegan food options, the atmosphere, the staff and how much I loved this place. Do not miss this spot! For drinks, my party had hot green tea, the iced Thai tea and the alcoholic My Thai. We all loved and highly recommend the Thai tea. The My Thai was a pass, it was extremely tart and tangy.
For appetizers, we ordered Vegan Dumpling, Vegan Summer Rolls and the other half of my party had Fried Calamari. General consensus amongst us was the Summer Rolls were good but needed something a little more, including a different dipping sauce from what it came with because it was too sweet to pair well with the refreshing roll. I would even say it needs more flavorful vegetables rather than the Tofu. The Vegan Dumplings and Calamari were good as is! I regret not getting the Vegan Spring Rolls but will definitely get that next time.
For entrees, we got Vegan Stir Fry Vegetables, Tom Kha with Tofu and Green Curry with Beef. The stir fry wasn't a bad choice, it was good but the sauce it is mixed with had a flavor I didn't think paired well. I had almost gotten the curry or a dish with noodles but went basic after our plentiful and delicious appetizers. The stir fry came with white rice. The Tom Kha with Tofu was initially brought out with chicken but our waiter noticed it as he was putting it on the table and immediately took it back to have it fixed. As a vegetarian and someone with allergies, this issue happens way too often and is disappointing because it could cause a serious life-threatening issue. However, our waiter realized the issue before the food was even sat at the table so thank you for that! For me, the Tom Kha dish is something you can only get if you love coconut and are used to coconut milk. It is plenty flavorful but requires a unique palette. The person in our party that ordered it likes coconut milk, but unfortunately ended up not eating it due to feeling nauseous. The staff was super understanding and accommodating of it too! I can not give our waiter, Sam, enough kudos. We were definitely a bit complicated with requests and he handled it gracefully. The Green Curry also came with a side of white rice and was A++. We skipped dessert this time so we could grab ice cream around the corner, but can't wait to try it in the future.
Overall, this place is a PERFECT option for vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters. Take the whole family or all of your friends who all have different tastes in food. There is even outdoor...
Read moreCame here with my party the weekend before Christmas and it was packed. We didn’t have a reservation and when we walked in we checked in to be seated and the server at the front immediately said no because we didn’t have a reservation. Then he quickly changed his mind and said okay maybe another 15-20 minutes. My husband had to go and ask one of the servers if we could put our name on the waitlist. We proceeded to wait which was totally fine, after about 10 minutes I needed to use the restroom and I went to the server we initially spoke with to ask him where it was. He barely even looked at me and said that the bathroom is for customers and I could use the ones outside and around the corner and he walked away before I could even say that myself and my party was waiting to be seated. So, I asked the other server and she proceeded to try to tell me the same thing he did except I told her that me and my party had been waiting. She finally directed me to the restroom but honestly I was shocked and felt like it was so rude. Once they sat us everything was fine for the most part, the service wasn’t exceptional or anything and we didn’t expect it to be since they were so overwhelmed and seemed to be barely keeping up with a full house. Once we placed our order it took so long for the food to come out. At this point the restaurant wasn’t as packed and yet it was still taking an abnormal amount of time. Our server went to check on the food and said it would be out in a moment. They proceeded to bring out one dish at a time versus the whole table at the same time. Some of my party ordered soup and they brought it out after other dishes when it would have been easy to bring it out before the rest of the meal. Our table ordered two chicken dishes and the lack of chicken in both those dishes was appalling. The dishes were predominantly pepper and onion, so you feel like you’re paying $20 for just stir fried pepper and onion. Someone at my table ordered Tom Kha and most of the bowl was just filled with onion and then three shrimp. Beyond that they have a mandatory 20% gratuity added to the bill for parties that didn’t make a reservation and that are over 5 which feels a little ridiculous. Some of the dishes were too sweet while others were way too salty. Overall did not have a super positive experience here between the service...
Read moreThe initial welcome was lukewarm for a party of 10, no front of house staff with just one person working the bar adjacent to the entrance. It was clear they were understaffed and service was slow. Ten minutes to be asked for drinks longer fir food to be ordered. To be fair and balanced when it arrived the Red Curry I had was decent and the Chicken Dumpling entre was good, but two dining companions were unhappy and complained about their Pad Thai and Sweet and Sour Chicken dishes respectively. The Sweet and Sour sauce was watery when it should be thick and sticky. The Pad Thai was described as "inedible" (4 separate people sampled and concurred). As we were asking for the bill a friend told the waitress that they couldn't eat their dishes and explained why pointing to the full plate. The waitress said nothing and took them away. The bill came and both the Pad Thai and Sweet Sour Chicken were on there, no concessions. The majority of group decided to just pay rather than take issue with this and the 40 dollar gratuity( I regret not arguing against more strongly). Then, as I was waiting by the exit to leave the waiter came and asked if I was meeting someone (I'd literally been eating in his restaurant for 90 minutes). This rubbed me up the wrong way, so I told him that I thought it was pretty audacious to charge 40 dollars for what was slow service and to still charge food we thought was inedible. At this criticism he tried to defend rather than apologize, he had a tone and attitude that was cocky and unapologetic verging on confrontational. I wouldn't recommend this place or go back again , even if some of the food was okay. The whole episode left a bitter taste...
