Rim Talay Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Oceanside

Ordered the Ladd Nah and the Wontons. I didn't mind that there was some confusion over the order because the staff was friendly and afterall it was a call in order. Things happen right? The restaurant is beautifully decorated and within walking distance to the beach -hence the 2 stars. The food was beyond awful. The wontons were not crispy and tasted a bit odd. I thought that it was because they were made with the origninal (incorrect) order. The Ladd Nah on the menu was described as "pan fried flat noodles topped with brocolli and a garlic gravy" so I was a bit surprised when I was handed a container of what appeared to be soup. When I arrived at my destination I opened the container (will post pictures if I can) it looked like soup - a lot of watery soup with a few pieces of broccoli, sliced green beans, a few carrots, and bean srpouts. There was no seasoning. It was very bland so much that even adding salt was useless. The noodles (contained in a separate box) were slick, greasy, overcooked, bland, and stuck together. I thought it I put them in the soup like container it would be much better. Sadly, it was worse. The layer of oil, soup like mixture, and bland vegetables were a very bad combination. I don't know what they cooked it in, but it was beyond bad. I wasted 23.60 (25 if you count the 1.40 tip). It's a wonderful place to sit and people watch or enjoy the sunshine but a horrible place to eat. Maybe they were having an off day but I...

Don't get me wrong, I do LOVE this place BUT only when eating in. I have gotten Togo orders multiple times and it never fails that something is off. At least one dish gets discarded from not being made the way it's requested. We never have this issue when ordering and eating there. Today was not an exception to the horrible Togo service. First off, it's great that they can offer gluten free options --- not so great when they fight you about whether you ordered gluten free over the phone or not. Having Hashimotos disease, I have never and will never neglect to say gluten free. They did remake the rice (not the soup ordered) but the rice had no spice to it as originally ordered. I called back and expressed my frustration with them having been rude about it and also the fact that they charged me for a white rice I ordered but when we got home they didn't actually give us the white rice. The gentleman I spoke to said next time they would give me a white rice when we come in; I don't know about you but I will not be coming back in to redeem a free white rice....I'll just pull out my rice cooker and make my own. Such a bummer because I raved about this place and now after this last interaction I will definitely be going to the swamis next door that just opened instead. The owner is awesome here but I guess that it doesn't relay to...

After reading all the good reviews I thought this would be a safe bet for an out of towner to get some good Thai food.

I was mistaken. The service was terrible and the waitress was completely unmotivated to perform the basics, let alone be a good ambassador for their establishment very tall self absorbed woman.

I don't ask for much, just be nice and come see if you can help with seating or water or placing an order or running payment.

All of these seemed to escape her capacity for comprehending let alone performing.

I'm very good about giving a good tip for good service and struggled with even 10%

The food was bland and without character across the board. We ordered Phad Thai chicken (My goto litmus as it's the standard dish most folks gravitate towards) ordered with some spice.

As I stated it was bland and lacking any hint of crushed peanuts, egg or bean sprouts and no lime.

The plating was basically a heap of wet rice noodles in brown sauce.

The second dish was much better, that being cashew chicken and vegetable stir fry over rice. No complaints or issues here, other that they didn't spice to their scale (ordered 6 of 10 and had to amend this as well it having no spice at all).

Overall I'm sure their are better places in this price range and we won't be...
