| - This used to be what I considered a spot-on, authentic Thai restaurant.
I almost wrote a letter to their management last time I bought carry out, because I was enormously disappointed when I'd brought an order of Shrimp Pad Thai home, a quite basic and expensive dish, only to find a basic gluten ball with hardly any veggies, and all of FOUR SHRIMP! They did their usual great job of making Larb, but for a giant pile of rice noodles they sold me as Pad Thai? SORRY, THAT AIN'T EVER HAPPENING AGAIN. It's one thing when you dine in and have a chance to voice your dissatisfaction, but it's entirely different when you go to the trouble of picking up your order, just to get home and find you've been seriously ripped off.
I don't have the budget to have the luxury of eating out often, but when I'm wanting to treat myself to something good, and used to like a place like this, I can't see paying big bucks for what amounts to 25-cents worth of rice noodles and four shrimp. Another reviewer said they changed hands and kept the name, I'd like to know when that happened because I think it may coincide with when they turned into the 'hit and miss'-type place they've obviously now become.
How basic IS Pad Thai anyway? I lived in Thailand for several years, and I USED to like Thai Rama simply because they did a great job making meals that reminded me of why I fell in love with Thai food in the first place.
Two stars Thai Rama... Get your act together, and go back to when you were a reputable place to eat! If you don't, a better, quality restaurant will take your place, like a Taco Bell! :-(
