| - This place looks like a Thai restaurant, feels like a Thai restaurant, but is just barely a Thai restaurant. Sure it has mirrored embroidered elephant prints and little bamboo shoots, but so does Pier 1. The food is why we go out to eat and the experience weighs pretty heavy too. This place hits about half way on both fronts:
Food is mediocre. If you've ever been at a real Thai restaurant, you'd know it. The Tom Ka Soup was lacking all the usual fair: galanga, lemon grass, ginger....where were you? I missed you in there. Instead, I got a watery coconut broth with tofu and raw mushrooms. No baby corn, but broccoli instead; which in my opinion is very weird in soup, especially if it's cut for a salad. The Pad Thai was pretty good. No mystery meat, real cuts of beef (god bless the south), but it was a bit on the sweet side (god bless the south).
Service was diner quality, pretty much non-existant.
I don't know if I'd recommend it, but it's probably worth take out.
