Pattaya Thai — Restaurant in San Bernardino

I give a three stars rating when a place I've visited is an average place, and doesn't stand out from its competitors. I give a one star rating when the place appears to not care about their customers or its product. This place seems to care just a little, so I gave it a two star.

The place was close to empty when I walked in. Two patrons sitting on opposite corners, while the two TV's played in the background. At a far distance in the corner an Asian man flags me down and asks me if it's To-Go or dine-in? It was to go, so he handed me a menu and patiently waited for me to decide. I ordered the Grill Honey Pork & the Crying Tiger. I missed the part on the menu that mentions the steam rice is included, so I also asked for a side of rice, and the gentleman politely told me it already was included. This is a big plus because he could have kept it to himself, and I would have had to pay for it. Believe me it's happened before. He also offered me a glass of water while I waited, which was a nice gesture since it was hot outside.

The crying tiger was exactly that. It was supposed to be a flank steak, but was tuff to cut and chew. It came with some lettuce and carrots and special sauce. The grilled honey pork wasn't much better. It was a little on the dry side. It also came with some lettuce and carrots with sauce. They almost looked exactly the same.

It was disappointing to have picked up food, brought it to a friend, and have him lie to your face that the food was good, lol!! I told him no it wasn't I've had better. He says "your right the meat was a little dry."

I was in the neighborhood so I stopped by, but there are a few other options in the area. I think in this neighborhood I'll stick to Mexican food. I'll save the Thai food for...

BEWARE Once upon a time, I thought they had good food, not anymore. They didn't send us any of the side dishes that the menu said we would get with our meal, none of the 3 dishes came with anything it said nor did we get the extras we paid extra for, we called the restaurant where they argued with us & said it doesn't come with any sides & blamed the menu on Uber eats which I hate to tell you, gets their menus from the restaurants, they don't take it upon themselves to change menus, so of course they didn't make it right not even with what we paid extra for & ended up hanging up on us. Thankfully, Uber eats did make it right & also said that was the menu they gave them & and yes, it was on the menu. The restaurant lied saying they were looking right at the app & it didn't say it came with anything, that was a lie, It says it on the app, it says it on their own site & even Uber eats could see it on their end, The food was not great, we didn't finish it & threw it away. The orange chicken got us sick like food poisoning, so the rest of that went in the trash. What a waist of money & specially from a business who doesn't care about their customers. *After this experience, the food, the food poisoning & the attitude of the owner. I will never ever eat here again & I will never recommend this place but rather recommend that...

Went with my friend to Taste of Thai today for lunch, it was my first and DEFINITELY LAST time going there. They served my friend a plate of noodles with a huge piece of plastic bag/cellophane all covered in sauce and looking disgusting. My friend called our waiter and the guy was taking the plate back to the kitchen when the owner of the place approached our table, took the plate from the waiter, dig the cellophane out of noodles with his fingers and returned the plate to my friend. To the question: “Is this all you are going to do?” he told us: “What else do you want me to do?” YES, EXACTLY LIKE THIS. At the point when we were leaving I told him that he cannot treat customers like that, gave him $20 bill and asked for change (the bill was $19.33), my intention was not to leave even 1 cent for tip. I also notified him I was going to review his place and service. He threw money back at me, saying he did not need my money. I regret I could not threw up his food right away saying I didn’t need his food  The most disgusting disrespectful impolite person who MUST NOT work with...
