Samui Thai Cuisine — Restaurant in Southbury

I have had a lot of Thai food from all over many states because I had dealt with many Asian customers from various Asian Airlines over the years an when they visited the states they of course stayed for at least 5 to 10 days at the minimum. This is by far the worst Thai Food I have had I have ever eaten and I LOVE Thai food and most often would seek out Thai food to eat with my asian customers versus other forms of Asian food. The fresh rolls, had a very sticky, almost soggy, wrap around them. Inside, if there was any thai basil in the wrap I could not taste it The sauce for them was ok - not awful but sort of on the light side with not much flavor. I ordered fried rice as a charged upgrade (instead of white rice with a meal) - don't bother with as it was like white rice they threw two bits of egg into and a small sprinkle of soy sauce over no more than half of it - that's it.. The Tom Yum soup was also awful -as it sadly tasted as if it was from a can. I would not have recognized it as Tom Yum Soup at all (it does not look like the picture on their website) but only knew it was that because that was the only soup I ordered. I also ordered a salad with peanut dressing. While the salad was plentiful, the lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber provided were big thick un-edible pieces that one had to re-cut to actually eat it. While that was an annoyance, the biggest issue with the salad was that the peanut dressing that I was looking forward to consuming was not a "dressing" at all but literally... a spread - like spicy peanut butter. I had to take the time to put it in another container, whip in water and a little sesame oil to it to actually make it a dressing to pour over the salad. After paying almost $60.00 for all of this I was not pleased I had to re-make food I had bought already prepared in order for it to 'work'! The meal I bought was eggplant basil with added chicken. I didn't enjoy it either. There was not much brown sauce in it and what I could find didn't taste that great. The chicken in it was just...ok. Just like another reviewer said there was no added extras - no little soy sauce (to help save their feeble attempt at fried rice), no extra small bag of crunchy noodles, and not even a fortune cookie or small asian mint added to the order for what I feel was a complete waste $60.49. Never...

I’ve been here a few times and it was always very good. We dined in there last weekend and it was a busy Saturday. They seemed to be short staffed and it wasn’t as clean as it usually is. We ordered spring rolls and two entrees. When we ate our spring rolls we found a chewed up plastic toothpick IN THE ROLL. I could’ve choked on this. And it was absolutely disgusting. We didn’t make a scene even in a full restaurant. The waitress came over and I showed her what was in our spring rolls. She took the chewed up toothpick and seemed stunned. We obviously didn’t want to eat our main course since our stomachs were turning but again once the meals came out we sifted through them and picked at them. When the bill came would you believe the spring rolls that had a CHEWED UP PLASTIC TOOTHPICK that we didn’t cause a scene about was on the bill?!?!? We told the waitress we were not paying for them and she again seemed puzzled. No apology the entire time. Good luck eating there....

I cannot remember the last time I actually took time to write a negative review...normally I would just not return to business however, this was so disgusting! I would leave no star if I could one is giving this disgusting place a positive...not only was the woman that rang me out yelling loud, "NO! We no give," when I asked for the usual hard noodles with duck sauce commonly comes free with meal. Anyway the chicken...not sure it was chicken...the horrific taste is in my mouth I cannot get rid of it. My stomach is killing me...I threw most away I was so hungry as well.as my family member who threw out their portion after suffering some down because we were hungry and...ugh this place is so disgusting I would never ever go back...rude, dirty inside, disgusting so c alled chicken and other so called food was just so disgusting spare yourself...I am seriously sick from eating that...
