I WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!
I came to this restaurant 30-40 minutes before closing with 2 other friends; the hostess greeted us with care. We were a little rushed to order our food because the kitchen planned to close early, understandable. After eating, the waitress brought out one ticket/bill without splitting it according to the 3 patrons at the table (myself and 2 other friends).
I provided my card to finalize the transaction to avoid confusion amongst the parties involved. As the waitress proceeded to finalize the transaction, she looked at me and said "would you like to provide an 18%, 20%, or 25% tip." I replied to say "zero." She replied and said "what is your reason for providing "zero" as your tip (while she still has my card in her possession). At that point, I began to get uncomfortable with her question(s) and her presence. Subsequently, I provided a $2 tip to alleviate the awkwardness of this experience.
BIG ISSUE HERE: she went to the cash register with my card and remained behind the counter for about 3 minutes before I noticed that my card was not with me. I left my table and retrieved my card. She handed me my receipt from the card reader that she had at the table during the awkward tip interaction. When I returned home and checked my back account, there was an attempt to defraud my checking account of THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS.
New Thailand was my only transaction that night. I did not stop for gas because I was not driving. I did not stop at an ATM or any other place before or after New Thailand. Her behavior at the table and taking my card back behind the counter led me to believe that the waitress attempted to defraud my card of $350 because she did not receive the tip she THOUGHT she deserved.
This type of behavior is irresponsible, reckless, illegal, and unprofessional. I am not aware of the waitress' name but she was a young lady in her late 20s or early 30s. I will not return to the restaurant ever again based on her line of questioning and the illegal attempt to defraud $350...
ย ย ย Read moreWe just tried this place for the first time tonight and it was AMAZING!! We started with the chicken satay and shaomai and the shaomai was so good that my husband ordered another plate! For entrees I got the tofu red curry and Iโm instantly obsessed! The sauce and veggies and tofu were cooked and flavored perfectly and I was really impressed with the eggplant pieces in the dish because not everyone can cook eggplant well but this was perfect! (The cute heated bowl with a tea light underneath was a plus, too) My two sons got the kids crispy chicken meal and (I kid you not) it was an ENTIRE piece of chicken katsu sliced in the traditional manner with a generous portion of rice and steamed veggies. They left nothing behind on their plates :) my daughter had the beef pad see ew, which is her favorite dish at all Thai restaurants, and even she was super excited about it, saying that this is โtotally our new go toโ my husband is super picky... heโs from Indonesia and usually doesnโt like non-Indonesian fried rice, but he LOVED the spicy chicken fried rice... so much in fact that he wanted to make sure I mentioned how picky he usually is in this review to accentuate how highly he thought of the fried rice! ;). I brought home another order of beef pad see ew and an order of spring rolls for my mom and she was also very pleased with the flavor of the noodles as well as the crisp texture of the spring rolls and she also commented on how good and unique the dipping sauce for the spring rolls was. Also, I canโt forget to mention how sweet the young lady and young man serving us were. They gave crayons and paper for our little one and were just really nice and attentive. Long story short, I highly recommend this place and weโll be back soon! Thanks for...
ย ย ย Read moreThis is probably my best Thai experience in town. This place has amazing decor, and warm yellow lights, that instantly make your heart happy as you enter. The food makes your heart happier. We took the quintessential Thai iced tea, crab rangoon, and fried calamari to start off. My friend took the hot tea that came in a nice little pot and cup. For main course, we took crusty salmon, pork ribs, choo chee curry, and suki hang. The dishes looked beautiful and tasted amazing. For pork ribs, one can customize the spice level - mild, medium, medium plus, hot, very hot. We tried the medium plus and it was so good! Finally, for dessert, we had fried ice-cream, roti w/ ice-cream and fried banana w/ ice-cream. I liked the fried banana one the best. It was essentially mashed banana put into a fried crust, and tasted heavenly with the vanilla ice-cream and strawberry. The waitress was also very warm and greeted us beautifully as we left. Overall, amazing experience, would visit again. 6 out of 5 stars. Edit: please try the Chive dumpling for starters and mango sticky rice...
