Thai on Main — Restaurant in Seal Beach

Poor service, Great food. I had drunken noodles with chicken. It was spicy as expected and very delicious. My father had sweet n sour chicken with rice. His was very good as well. We both had a small salad that came with it. He said his tea was very good and it was just regular iced tea. We were very pleased with the food. The service was not good. And it wasn't just 1 waitress because we had 2 helping us and both were slightly rude. It started when we walked in and someone said hello. I looked around to say hello back as I stood by the wait to be seated sign. Then came another hello but loud and rude. I found her this time back behind the bar so I smiled and said hello. She said sit wherever you like so as we walked to sit where we like she then told us where to sit. She seemed impatient with all our questions about the menu. The place was almost empty. After we got our food my father asked for a cup of extra sweet n sour sauce. We later asked for soy sauce. She turned around and then turned back to us and said, Is there anything else? Her voice was not pleasant. My father and I decided we had a little food left and could probable fit both of our dishes in one box so it's easier to carry as we walked on main. So when she came we asked her for one box and she said 1 or 2? We said 1 bc we would share. So, she brought us 1 box. I did not realize it would be a tiny cube box. So feeling bad and not wanting to make her run around I went to the counter and explained that I was sorry and I had no clue the boxes were so small and needed another one. She then looked at me and said that's why I asked you if you needed 1 or 2. Again, her voice wasn't pleasant. She could have just told me our boxes are very small or brought us 2 anyways. Well, sorry to make the waitresses work at a full sit down restraunt. I suggest these ladies are kinder to their customers. My father and I were both in from another state for a funeral because his mother passed away and were trying to have a moment to talk at the beach and dinner. Did not appreciate the rudeness at...

Hmmm. Not sure where to begin. (About the food read below). One of the worst experiences at a restaurant. I’m not one to only review a negative experience. The staff was incredibly rude from the moment we walk in the door. Had reservations a week in advance and upon entry, we were denied and delayed for 30 minutes. One of the waitresses came with two of our appetizers and decided to only leave one while serving the other to another table. 1-hour wait for appetizers. Nobody came to bring utensils, eating dishes, and no topping of our water glasses. We had a slight spill on the table, I got up and asked a waitress if I could have napkins and I was told from her “I am on break”. I understand you’re on break but to give the cold shoulder and not even point to where I can find napkins is wrong. The staff was all angry to the point it made us uncomfortable to eat the food.

About the food - four plates of curry and all the food was cold, the dishes were miraculously hot which tells me they microwave the food. Not fresh food here. The chicken had not been cut into pieces, a lot of connecting tissues and fat. A fly in my sons drink. My daughter showed a piece of hair in her food but we are hoping it was from us. Two of us did not get there food (3-hours in). When confronting the staff throughout the dinner, we were met with a hostile waitress telling us “what you want to do, you no want to eat food”.

Pro: the cold curry I had, had a decent flavor to it but the anger in the food is not something I would go back for seconds. So this place is a hard DO NOT DINE for me and the family.

If you do decide to eat here, I wish you the...

Thai on Main has been my favorite restaurant on Main St. pretty much since they opened. I hadn't been there in a while, so when I had a friend visiting last week, I suggested we go there for lunch - on a Friday at 1:00 p.m. The fact that there was only 1 other occupied table should have been a tip that something has changed. The server sat us at a table away from the front window, even though there was an open table. I asked for a window table. He said we might not want that, considering THE FLIES. I looked closer, and there were flies buzzing all around the window and window sill, and many dead fly bodies laying on the window sill. I noted that the windows were open, but the screen frames were broken and created a gap where the hoards of flies were coming in to the restaurant. Even on our table mid-way back, there was one of those spinning fly fans - INSIDE THE RESTAURANT, and we still had to wave away flies. The service was poor, our waters weren't refilled, the serving bowls that our food came in were all chipped up, we weren't given individual plates to be able share the two dishes we ordered. My friend was trying to be cool and not judge my lunch recommendation, and I was majorly embarrassed. Something has drastically changed with this restaurant, for the worst, and I likely won't go back. The whole...
