Chaba Thai Restaurant — Restaurant in Linwood

I gave it 1 star because the soup was OK, and the service was good. Let's start with the 4 appetizers we ordered. Fried calamari, coconut shrimp, and chicken wings were all burnt and dried out. Either they forgot about them in the fryer, or the oil was very old. It was like chewing hard candy. Then are last appetizer was a chicken satay. I'm use to getting grilled moist meat on a stick with a flavorful peanut sauce, but this wasn't the case. I got a dry cold flavorless pile of cut up chicken breast on a plate with an even more flavorless peanut sauce. Now for the dinners, both mine and my daughters were watery. I'm guessing they didn't drain the pasta well before tossing it in the sauces. Needless to say the sauce didn't cling to the pasta and it took away from the flavor that it should have had. And lastly there was hair in my son's dinner. That's the picture I submitted. If it was on top, then it could have came from anywhere including my son. But it was mixed under the food when my son first started eating it. So I suspect that it was from whoever was preparing it. If it was 1 or 2 mistakes then i could deal with it, but with this many, I have to write this to warn other Thai food lovers. Needless to say, we won't be back. First...

Went with my parents, on Halloween night . We were the only people there at 5pm but a few more came in after that. They have parking. Staff are friendly. It's BYOB but they can give you wine glasses. We started with the veggie egg rolls which I didn't feel much flavor there and the Roti with peanut sauce. I like Roti in Malaysian restaurant but this is my first time having it in Thai restaurant. It was tasty if not a bit oily but I'm used to having it with curry dipping sauce instead of peanut. Mains I got Tofu Panang Curry which had a nice flavor, I finished all of mine . My Dad got Pad Thai with beef which he liked and my Mom got Honey Duck which I think she had before and they both enjoy this restaurant. I think the curry was a bit mild but in this area probably most people want it like that. Very...

Great food for reasonable price

Minus point: They possess following vegetables in their menu Green beans, Cucumber, Bell pepper, Carrot, Broccoli, Baby corn, Mushroom, Potato. Tomato. Hopefully they have been treating the diners with available western vegetables.

The vegetables in this image are easily available all over the USA. Rather than cheating the diners with the easily available ingredients, use the right vegetables and enhance the respect of the true essence of Thai food culture

Suggestion: if they can include authentic Thai vegetables such as Brinjal, Okra, Long bean, Bitter gourd, Cabbage, Phak bung- water spinach Phak kat hongte-Bok Choy, Phak kat khao, Phak kwangtung, Thua phu (refer the attached images) it would be great authentic Thai feast in...
