| - Great service, good ambiance, good service. Not much to rave about since I tried familiar dishes.
Ambiance:
I dined during the evening, so it was quite dim during this service. The decor seemed nice, as I did see some traditional Thai statues. There are TVs around for your viewing pleasure...however I believe infomercials are for viewing at home. During the entire service, Shaun T's new workout DVD was playing. Can this guy get any more greedy?!
Service:
Very nice and pleasant. The server I think didn't quite understand what vegan meant or maybe the kitchen just heard "vegetarian" and assumed no meat but egg is fine. Though I did request no fish or oyster sauce and no egg, the dish came out with egg.
Food:
I ordered the papaya salad with no fish sauce. It was really good. I love spicy, and after reading a review before dining about how spicy spicy is, I went with a level 3 on the salad. That was still spicy for me. I think I'll order a 2 next time. I can't imaging what a 10 is.
The pad Thai was ok. Sadly this one didn't please. I was hoping to find something wow about it but instead it was a bit sweet and oily.
Presentation:
The papaya salad is good to share. It was huge and very pretty looking...
The pad Thai...well I don't think you can make it look pretty, but you can make it look tasty!
Overall:
Loved that I was able to find a new Thai dining option. Would I come here often? Not so much, but if I were in the area, sure. I'll be sure to try other dishes too. I do find pad Thai and papaya salad to be on the safe side.
As a vegan, be sure to be very specific with your server and check the food before you eat it. I learned that lesson hard after eating in San Diego. Here at Krung Siam, I had to send back the pad Thai because it had egg in it.
Happy dining!
