The flavors are... uh.... different. The gist: Food overcooked beyond recognition on all 3 dishes. Could not tell if the meat was pork or beef by taste or look. Breaded dishes are 90% breading, can't find or taste meat because of how overcooked everything is. Did not taste like Thai food. Edible, but not enjoyable. No one finished even half their food, half-heartedly picking at it. Did not taste fresh, weird aftertaste, meat was almost gamey, vegetables beyond mush.
We ordered 3 different dishes, and at no point did it feel like we were having Thai food. That's never happened to me before...and I'm asian, have Thai all the time, make Thai food, and I've been to Thailand. That said, the flavors were at least somewhat tolerable, but I think basic cooking techniques are the bigger problem.
The already thin slices of meat are extremely dry and tough- it tastes like cardboard with no flavor whatsoever, cooked beyond the point of it tasting like recognizable meat... with some pieces having a weird, unfresh aftertaste. The veggies were beyond mushy, and parts of my broccoli were yellowing.
It reminds me of when you keep leftovers in the fridge past the ideal window- the meat has hardened and the flavors have deteriorated, and you reheat it on the stove, forgot about it for too long, and overcooked it beyond comprehension. Then you attempt to eat it because it was expensive and you hate waste, but it is not pleasant, and you end up throwing it out and making something else.
Another reviewer mentioned the ingredients didn't taste fresh- I didn't know what they meant, but now I do.
Food is expensive nowadays, if you are going to raise your prices, at least cook it properly. Subjective flavors aside, at a basic level, meat should be juicy, veggies fresh and crunchy with varying textures.
No one really touched their food. I hate wasting food, especially overpriced food, but the thought of forcing myself to finish it makes me miserable.

Read moreVery clean, crisp and fresh dining room decor and the staff were all outgoing and friendly. The menu, although not extensive, had a wide variety of selections.
The fresh spring rolls were fresh but seemed like they were missing something... Couldn't quite pinpoint what it may have been but they were just a little on the bland side. The pot stickers had great flavor and were super tasty. However, I have had steamed dumplings as well as pan "fried," but these were crispy like they had been deep fried. I really did like them this way-it was just unexpected.
Their "Phad" Thai Pork was good but nothing special. It just didn't excite me the way it does at Golden Wok in San Antonio... I also liike it when it is served with a little extra cilantro on top and a few lime wedges. Only peanuts garnished the dish and I failed to pick up on even a hint of cilantro or lime in the dish. The menu is however true to form on their spice scale. 1 is mild and 6 is full tilt fire drill. I had level 4 and it was just right. I wouldnt suggest anything higher unless you want that smoldering spice-scorched sensation in your mouth, long, long after you've left the restaurant.
The only other drawback was that we were wanting cocktails or at least a beer or glass of wine with dinner and unfortunately, they do not have a license to serve any alcoholic beverages. On a positive note, their Thai Tea was perfect and one of the best Ive ever had!! We even got a couple to go, to enjoy later.
The friendly, attentive staff, impeccably clean dining room and well-made, fresh selections from the menu will certainly be enough to make us go back and we wish them much success in the New Year as well with their new location the server hinted they will hopefully be moving to once the Pandemic has...
