I really like this place, it has so much stuff you can't find anywhere else! And almost everything I've had is tasty, they put a lot of thought and effort into their food. I love the mushroom salad, the roots, the curry puffs made vegetarian, so many great choices. The Thai iced tea options are also awesome. While the green curry is abundant with tofu and veggies and has three different eggplant varieties in it, I was a bit underwhelmed by the flavor. Love the option to do it street style with noodles and soft boiled egg, very yummy and unique! But I'll likely pass on this dish in the future. The service was where we were really disappointed. The waitress seemed nice, but was a bit passive aggressive about mistakes that were very clearly not our fault. I got chicken in my green curry and let another server know and I was really nice about it. He was really nice and took it back, and next thing I know our server comes out and says no you got the chicken you said right? My bro and I looked at eachother awkwardly and I said no, I got tofu. When she insisted I said chicken, I let her know I'm allergic to chicken so I am sure I did not. My brother knows I haven't eaten even beef or pork or other birds in 18 years, so it was awkward. It was busy when we came, maybe she was flustered. I also got the papaya salad with the salted crab upgrade. When it came, there were none so I asked to confirm and she said um I don't know because I didn't check with them let me ask. Sure enough, it didn't have the crabs and when it came back it had maybe 4-5 claws and none of the main part that you actually want. Also, no cashews which we were excited for. My tofu green curry came out mild when I asked for medium as well but it was getting late so I didn't want to wait to ask for chili on the side. We were both polite, and for the most part she was nice! But in the beginning we asked for separate checks and made sure to order separately and asked directly to have our own checks and she said ok. She brought everything on one check and when I asked if we can separate it, she had a bit of an attitude and came off a little aggressive. My bro was uncomfortable and said let it go there have been too many mistakes already so venmo me and let's go. I also asked her for two soup containers for my leftovers and was given a plastic box that turned out to not be leak proof, so there's green curry and some fish sauce based liquid from the papaya salad on my car seat. We both worked in food service before, I even stacked all of our dishes. It's too bad, and maybe it was an off day but I'll likely just order take-out here when I'm back in town.
update waking up with food poisoning, that's new for...
Read moreHey folks, I recently had the chance to check out this amazing Thai spot down in Midtown and I gotta say, it was absolutely off the hook. I'm not one to typically write these things, but the Yellow Curry with Grilled Seasonal Veggies at this place was next level. Let me break it down for you.
First off, the vibe of the restaurant is super chill. It's got that perfect blend of good energy and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff was friendly and on point with their recommendations. I mean, you gotta love it when the folks working there really know their stuff, right?
Now, on to the main event - that Yellow Curry with Grilled Veggies. I'm telling you, it was like a flavor explosion in my mouth. The curry itself was rich and creamy with just the right amount of kick. It had this perfect balance of spices that made every bite a straight-up party for my taste buds. And those grilled seasonal veggies? Man, they were perfectly cooked and added this amazing depth of flavor and texture to the dish. It was like a dance party of flavors in my mouth, I tell you.
Also the Khao Soi and Chicken Satoy were high tier hella lit ong, best thai in sac no cap.
The portion size was solid too. I hate it when you go to a place and you get these tiny little portions that leave you wanting more. Not the case here. The serving was generous and left me feeling satisfied without being overly stuffed. I even had some leftovers to take home for the next day, which was a major win in my book.
And don't get me started on the price. I mean, for the quality of the food and the overall experience, the price was totally reasonable. I didn't feel like I needed to take out a second mortgage to pay for my meal, if you catch my drift. It's that perfect balance of high-quality food without breaking the bank.
One more thing that really impressed me was the attention to detail. I could tell that the folks in the kitchen really care about the food they're putting out. The presentation of the dish was on point, and you could tell that they took the time to make sure every element was just right. It's those little touches that really make a dining experience stand out for me.
Overall, if you're in the mood for some killer Thai food, you gotta check out this spot and get yourself some of that Yellow Curry with Grilled Seasonal Veggies. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. It's the kind of dish that'll have you coming back for more, and I know I'll definitely be making a return trip real soon. Keep it...
Read moreI want to preface this review by first saying I decided I won't give restaurants anything below a 3 star rating. Covid has been enough of a blow to these guys . I figure if people wanna take the extra step to read reviews they can find out behind the "stars" -The amazing looking website and menu is what drew us to this place.sadly the experience fell way short or the mark. The green papaya salad was decent but zero spice to it. Chicken satay was also decent , the peanut sauce was good. The egg wrapped pad thai was the absolute high point. That's the good - The pork skewers where tough. The fried chicken tasted like it was from yesterday. Dry and flavorless. It was as if it was just deep fried with no batter or flour dredge. The steak dish was ok but we weren't asked about temp so it arrived way over cooked .We also had a mushroom dish which was just ok. Generally after a thai meal you are left with a mouth alive with flavor. This was not the case here. Of note we where first in with no one else there apart from a guy working on a repair. (also not a great idea as drill sounds don't add to the ambience) The service was really not good ,we were denied a choice of table which is fine when busy but like i said the place was empty upon our arrival. Our waiter was inattentive and distant . I read all these great reviews, basically the opposite of what I experienced. Maybe an off night? Hopefully that's the case. I'll wait to hear about this place from other friends who may visit. There are too many other good options in Thai food to even consider trying this place again. Shame really. Best of luck to you guys hope you...
