Big Sky Thai — Restaurant in Livingston

I would like to first say that the waitress was sweet and did her best. It sounded like they were short staffed, so that could have contributed to some of their stress. The Thai iced tea was great as were the spring rolls and pot stickers. The reasoning for the 1 star review is that they first mixed up the spice levels for our two dishes (Pad Thai with tofu and Pad Basil with beef) then proceeded to argue about how we were mistaken. They have a policy, which I understand, where they don't take it off the menu if you have an issue with it. You just have to order something different. It was just upsetting and vastly unprofessional for the sous chef to argue with us when you could smell the spice that was coming off of the Pad Basil when it's only supposed to be 1 star for spice level. I would also recommend that the staff be educated in what type of Pad Thai they serve as there are a few different sauces used based on what region you are getting your recipe from. I would like to end with I know that the customer isn't always right. However, I have worked in the food industry for years and I'm not completely ignorant when it comes to flavors. Overall, we aren't going back. It isn't worth $14 a plate for an upset stomach and an argumentative chef.

Update* The cashew tofu that they made for a take home replacement was nice and...

We called several times and no answer, but our kids really wanted Thai food so we decided to go order in person, as it was still 45 minutes from close and across the street from our hotel.

When we arrived there was a sign that said “Pick up only. No dine in” The woman at the desk said, “We are too busy, I didn’t have time to answer the phone.” Looking around the restaurant, there were only 3 tables and 8 total people.

She told us that we could place an order to go as they were a little backed up it would be about 20 minutes to get our food.

30 minutes in, she came and told us they had a “mishap” and the button on the rice cooker didn’t work so they didn’t have rice for our curry or mango dishes. She asked if they could substitute rice noodles in place of the rice, and we agreed.

55 minutes later, we finally got our food. After a quick, “Sorry for the mishap,” we were offered no discount, no additional food, nothing.

Sadly, the insult didn’t end there! Once we returned to the hotel to eat, we found that the noodle boxes were half full at best (see pic).

The green curry and fried rice were tasty, the drunken noodles were just ok, the mango chicken was underwhelming, and the mango sticky rice was “ok” per the kids.

Was expecting a lot more based off prior...

Arrived in to Livingston just after 5:00, ready for my first meal after a long day of driving. The restaurant is easy to miss, inside a multiple business building. Service was abrupt, almost aggressive, shouting “for here or takeout?” across the dining room. A short, uncomfortable wait brought a big bag of food, one appetizer and one entree for $25. The fresh spring rolls were wrapped in plastic, and definitely not made fresh. The peanut dipping sauce was ok, and the first few bites were a nice, crunchy mix of ingredients, quickly followed by the overwhelming taste and smell of sulfites. The green curry was the consistency of a thin soup, with two flavor notes, hot and something like dirty socks (maybe the massive amount of shredded bamboo shoots) One taste and it went straight into the cooler with the container of mushy rice. It’s in the fridge now, but I don’t know what I’ll do with it. Definitely not worth pulling off the freeway. Travelers take heed, never believe local reviews for ethnic food in Montana. The beef is great, just...
