Sooooo. I was super excited to come here. My friend had recommended it, and it was a great start. The dining room is pretty. Spacious with some privacy. The bar is very cool. So much liquor. The bathroom was also so bright and clean. The drinks were also soooooo yummy.
The calamari appetizer was great. Hot and crunchy. The rings were chunky and meaty. The basil fried rice was also yummy.
Now the strange part. We ordered drunken noodles. When the food came out, I immediately knew it wasn’t drunken noodle. I asked the man who brought us the food, “what is this” and he said it was drunken noodle. I took one bite and knew it was pad see ewe. We waved the server over and she confirmed we ordered the drunken noodle. She went to go check in the kitchen. At this point, with the confirmation from the man, the four of us had each taken a spoonful. She came back out, asked us if we still wanted the drunken noodle. I said yes. She then went back to the kitchen, came back to us, and took the plate of half eaten noodles. A. I’ve worked in restaurants, and that is not sanitary. To bring a dish half eaten back to the kitchen is unheard of. B. You guys made the mistake. Why are you taking it away from the table?!
When she came back with the drunken noodle, I could tell that the old noodles had been mixed with the newer noodles. There were different color noodles, darker and lighter, and the texture of the older ones were mushier. The season of the drunken noodle was also just ALL black pepper. Not good.
The food was overall too sweet. I eat Thai food A LOT and drunken noodle has always been spicy. I left with a sticky taste in my mouth from too much sweetness.
Lastly, for the portion and quality, it is VERY expensive. I have NEVER paid this much for Thai food. There was nothing fancy enough to make the drunken noodle with beef a $29 dish. The beef should have been ribeye or filet for that price. The sesame chicken was nothing special, and it was $19. That fried rice has ground chicken, also $19. I think all the entrees started at $19. Nothing really set the food apart from a $10 lunch special at any other Thai restaurant. The noodles were the same. The sauce too sweet. And not a spicy Thai chili in sight. Everything is very overpriced and underwhelming EXCEPT the drinks!
So. 2 stars for the very delicious, good amount of alcohol, and well priced alcoholic drinks. Negative 3 for the weird awkward non sanitary way they fixed the mistake that they made, and for the taste, sweetness, and pricing of the food. We all agreed we’d go back for many more drinks, but maybe only for a...
Read moreVery overpriced, food was basically cafeteria quality at best. Ended up paying over $40 for 2 drinks and a spring roll. The appetizer was very skimpy, small and served barely still warm, so the cheese in it was like chewing gum. The Spicy Bun Bo was not spicy, had an off flavor and the beef in it was tougher than leather. The Duck Confit was a sad ruin of a potentially god dish. The duck was mushy and had the flavor and texture of pot roast, the sauce was burnt and tasted of burnt garlic. On top of that the food was not hot and the duck and beans were cold. We did not eat any of it except the appetizer. The manager offered us something else from the menu, but since nothing we had tried was satisfactory and we were hungry, we declined and went elsewhere. So glad we did, if you are looking for good Thai food and a satisfactory experience avoid this pretentious overpriced hole. They put more thought into the glasses and bowls than the food. We went to "Real Thai Restaurant" and it was excellent, wish we went there first. We were really looking forward to a nice meal, and love Thai food. We found this Thithis place by searching for Thai food. What a disappointment! Don't waste your time and money, I would...
Read moreI’d like a refund but I’ve never known how to say that without sounding wrong so I’ll just write a review. Pad Thai is my favorite dish. I’m pregnant and my husband decided to surprise me when I got home after an appointment with a new place. He said it was fine dining and it was more pricey. I was excited because I was starving! They got the color right and the noodle but no joke, this is the only pad Thai I’ve had that was flavorless. I’m lucky enough to live right in between Chai Yo and Benjarong. Both very authentic and fair in price. I didn’t even want to ask my husband how much more this pad Thai was, as opposed to the regular average of $10. We also got the shrimp spring rolls. I’ve had better and fresher with less ingredients! It was very disappointing because it didn’t taste like fine dining. On the plus side they do give a lot, portion wise. But they also include full peanuts, not halved, instead of the usual crushed which is nice because it’s more of a texture thing and being able to spread it all around. Overall, I saw crushed red pepper flakes throughout the dish and you got a hint of that. But it seems like they forgot the salt/fish oil and for sure the sweet tamarind! There was no sweetness to...
