Julie's Thai Kitchen — Restaurant in Lyons

This restaurant is horrible. The food is made of the absolute cheapest ingredients and tastes awful. One of those places you want to give a 0 star review, but can’t because it’s not an option. If you know what Thai food is supposed to taste like, DO NOT COME HERE! Everything was the horrible, we got two different noodle dishes and the Tom Yum soup.

First time visitor of Colorado and we stayed in the Longmont area to hike the Rockies. After a tough hike we were left with few dining options on a weeknight and this was one of the few non-chain restaurants open. It’s so important to support small businesses, however this is not one of them!!

While Julie was friendly when I was ordering, but things seemed a bit hectic when I went into get our meal. The restaurant doesn’t have dine in options, but it was dirty and messy inside. Our meal took longer than expected but Julie was nice enough. After I paid and tipped, I was provided a box to carry out my items which included a soup. I was super careful but it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

By the time we arrived to our hotel and started eating we realized the food tasted off. The Tom Yum soup was one of the worst soups I have ever tasted. It was made with the absolute crappiest broth concentrate - not authentic and it tasted SO SO BAD. The fake sour taste and the strange sweetness was completed by old tasting mushrooms and uncooked cherry tomatoes. Whyyyy?????

The noodle dishes we ordered were also awful! We got the Pad Kee Mao and the Pad See Ew. The Pad See Ew was inedible, every bite was worse than the last. The sauce was horrible and inauthentic (like a dollar store version of sweet & sour?), and the chicken has a strange chewy texture. It was completely indelible. The Pad Kee Mao was slightly better but the chicken seemed old and dry. We were able to muster about 4-5 bites. We barely ate any of the food - we ended up having leftover bread and a few apples for dinner.

If you want decent food, just go anywhere else. My experience was all around horrible, and when I got ahold of the restaurant, I was unable to get a refund. Absolutely not worth the time, money and effort to eat this food. Honest rating...

I went here last night (Monday) for dinner. First, the positives. It's a cute little restaurant. The waitress was very nice, clearly overworked. She was waiting on 5 tables, handling phone, front desk, register, etc. But she still provided good service and I was happy about that.

But there were several negatives which make me not want to ever come back here. First, they took an hour to make our meals and we ended up getting them to-go. The waitress did warn us that they were very busy, but I only saw 4 tables there and 3 people cooking in the back. I didn't think they'd take an hour to make the food. Very, very slow. Secondly, with how long they took I expected really good authentic thai food. I love thai food. I've been to Thailand and love going to thai restaurants whenever I travel domestically. This did not taste that great. The ingredients tasted fine and fresh, but everything tasted boring and bland. I got the Tom yum soup which just tasted sour and felt like it was missing something. The red curry tasted very watered down. I asked for medium spice, and it was not spicy at all. It barely even tasted like curry. After finishing my meal I felt unsatisfied.

I'm surprised by all the positive reviews. I wonder if people in this small town ever had other thai food? They're in for a world of surprise at how much...

I arrived very hungry at 8:10pm. There was a table of three people who were done eating and a table of two who had ordered but not received food yet. it took my server 4-5 minutes to come back and greet me after I was seated. I ordered right away but my tempura appetizer took almost 20 minutes to come out. The AC fan was set to 40 degrees Farenheit and was blowing directly on the tables so I moved outside. Nobody checked on me or told me the food was going to take so long despite the restaurant being almost empty. My entrée came out after 9pm with no apology or explanation why it took so long. If I had known that I wouldn't get to eat for almost an hour, I would have gone somewhere else. The food was just okay. My server was friendly but slow, and after I received my check, another employee interacted with me instead of my server. This second guy made me uncomfortable, as his sole purpose seemed to be to periodically walk out of the kitchen, stare at everyone, and walk back in. The only time he was attentive was when accepting my payment. The whole experience was awkward, awful, and disappointing. Ignoring your customers instead of explaining why the food takes so long is horrible customer service. I left angry and...
