🇹🇭 PunThai Kitchen 🇹🇭
We were a party of four visiting from Boston and decided to try this Thai restaurant after seeing good reviews on Google a couple of weeks back— but it turned out to be really disappointing. There was just one other couple dining in during lunchtime, which should’ve been our first clue.
The server had a serious attitude from the start. When we were trying to explain how spicy we wanted our dishes, he cut us off and said, “Too many people talking, wait a second.” That was uncalled for. When I replied, “Maybe you should write it down if you can’t remember,” that’s when he suddenly changed his tone and started being polite.
Unfortunately, the food was no better. We ordered Thai basil fried rice with crispy chicken— it tasted like it was steamed or boiled first, then lightly fried, and you could clearly tell by the taste. On top of that, everything was drenched in oil, making it really hard to eat more than a few bites.
Overall, the experience was poor from service to food. If you’ve developed a good Thai palate or care about flavor and freshness, skip this place. Definitely not...

Next we had Pad Thai with shrimp, chicken, and fried tofu which was delicious. The combinations of the sweet soy, fish sauce, and peanuts are tasty. The duck soup was excellent. The flavor of the broth was delightfully rich with a taste of star anise and roasted duck. The duck was fresh and the amount of duck slices were plentiful. The drinks are delicious. Chang Mai drink is interesting recipe of Chambord, Hennessy and strawberry puree. The Mai Tai is a sweet creation using coconut rum and Jamaican. The tarot pancake for dessert was a little flat puff pastry pie filled with thin slices of tarot and topped with a honey or sugar glaze. The flavor reminded me of fried bananas and we had no problem...
