| - Went to this place for dinner after reading all the good reviews. Read the most recent reviews that the restaurant has just changed management, affecting their ratings a little. But I figured I would give it a chance. My spouse and I left disappointed and sore in our pockets. Will start with the bad.
- Half price sushi rolls on weeknights. We ordered the spider roll and salmon maki roll. When the rolls came, we were appalled by the size of the salmon maki. They were ridiculously small, a little bigger than 1/2 inch. The salmon were literally the size of boogers. Way off the mark from the standard size. Half price was $2.50. It was worth only a dollar in my opinion. The spider roll's ingredients supposed to consist of soft shell crab, avocado, some kind of small fried fish and cucumber. Size was ok, but ingredients were so miniscule and mashed up we didn't taste anything. Soft shell crab was just tiny battered shells, with the meatless tails sticking out on the 2 ends of the roll. Again, not worth even the half price. Should have sent back at least the salmon roll to let them know that what they were doing was unscrupulous. Advertising half off deals like that, and cheating on quantity. But we had to rush for a concert, so we didn't pursue it.
The not-so-bad
- Ordered the early bird special sets too. Pricing for this was reasonable. Good size portions. Shrimps were huge. But was hoping for authentic Thai food but we got typical American influenced fair. Food was overly sweet. Summer rolls were nothing to rave about, with tiny bits of chicken and overload of vege. The crispy tofu appetizer was good. Pad Thai was good.
The good
The saving grace of this place was the speedy and friendly service. True Thai hospitality and smile.
Paid $46 including tips for this meal, which we found grossly expensive, coz of the terrible sushi rolls. Could have gone to our regular Chinese restaurant and ordered lots of dishes and fed the whole family of 4 adults, 2 kids for that price.
