Heights of bad experience: I am not from Orlando so I was googling for thai places for dinner. There were two popped up for that area. Red Bamboo and Thai silk. Red Bamboo entree were half the price from Thai silk so I picked Red bamboo looking at their reviews. I called and the person did not greet with the place so I placed the order and went to pick up. Order was for Pad Se-ew( My fav thai dish) and medium green curry and salad. I went to pick up the order looking for Red bamboo but the address took me to Thai Silk and when I looked at the bill it was exactly double than what I expected. I tried talking to the waitress but she just ignored what I was saying and told me red bamboo is bought by Thai silk owner but then I told her about active website for red bamboo but with no consideration she charged my card and I picked up my food and came to hotel. My Pad se-ew wide noodles were not cooked good and I do not eat pork and the dish was smelling all pork and beef. My green curry was so spicy that I could only had 2 spoons of rice. So I went back to the store; the closing time was 10.00pm and I fot there at 9.45 pm. The front door had closed sign on. My husband and I tried to wave inside they saw us and hid behind the wall( Really!! I thought they did not see us but indeed they did see us). I was persistent for $$$ I spent so the guy had to open the door and he started looking at the food. I told him that curry is Extra hot and he opened up rice and told me i had two spoons of rice though( I could not believe this!!) Heights of bad service. I asked for manager number. He did not give me any number and asked me to call back. Food business people should be happy to cater customer's needs and not give this...

I'm somewhat of an ethusiast when it's comes to anything asian, I mean I am one to start off. So when it comes to foods I'm quite experienced in the way the food is prepared, served and taste. In terms of service it was fine, they checked in and made sure everything is fine and I had a blank face and lied through my teeth, "everything is okay". I know I'm being dramatic but I say this out of love, for you to improve. This was hands down one of the worse if not the worst Pho I've ever had of the hundreds if not thousands I've had. The broth was incredibly sweet, sweeter than the Thai tea I had which I know is quite bitter as it's supposed to be but come on, sweeter than the drink? The noodles were surprisingly tacky, pretty hard for noodles. I had the meatball pho and the meatballs were unironically rubbery in texture. Like eating an eraser. My guess is that the noodles were made some time ago, the broth has too much Hoysen sauce, like way too much, and the meatballs are frozen or aged. No seriously the broth was so sweet I tried my best to drown it out with lime and chili soup (?) {Crushed chili peppers with lime, salty and spicy}. No luck. I couldn't finish the meal, but I really didn't wanna criticize the poor waiters or chefs there, I know they tried their best. To add salt to the wound, as if they ever added salt at all, the prices are insane. Typically Pho cost like 7 or 8 dollars, this was 16 dollars for one! I understand it's a tourist spot and I really don't mind spending more if it's decent, it really wasn't worth it. That's my rant, thanks for coming to...
Read moreThe first thing I noticed when I walked in is the dining room is blocked off by a row of tables. After I asked if the place was open and could I dine in a nice lady moved one of the tables and sat me at a nearby booth. I began reading the menu and noticed very high prices in comparison to other Thai restaurants in the US that I've eaten at. (That number may be more than 75.) I was able to find a few items at a price I felt comfortable with and ordered. They totalled to $43. (Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, and Thai iced tea. The Pad Thai tasted like burning mattresses and couches. It was absolutely horrible. I was good sport about it and ate as much as I could but had to stop after 6-8 forkfuls. I just couldn't take another bite. Three quarters of tge portion was left untouched. The soup wasn't a whole lot better but at least it tasted close to what I've had since I first experienced Thai food in 1987. It just lacked the citrus and chili flavors. Neither dish was hot. They were just lukewarm. The service was lousy as well. The soup and Pad Thai came at nearly the same time. After I told the mistress about my disappointment with the Pad Thai she quickly brought the check and deserted me. After 15-20 minutes of sitting and not eating I got up and walked to the back of the dining room where the woman was on her phone and a man on his laptop and requested a to go cup for my Thai Tea. The man retrieved one for me when he realized the woman wasn't going to acknowledge me. I didn't leave a tip. $43 for a...
