| - As always there are places that are known for some things and not for others. Personally, the Queen Mother is not a place I would go to eat anything. It just does not inspire the concept of a gastronomical positive experience. If I wanted good Pad Thai I can think of a half a dozen better places, three within walking distance that I would rather eat at.
Also, I am not a fan of fusion, unless it is really, really well made. Why? Because I generally prefer authenticity over just filling up my stomach, specially if I am paying for it. So, I can honestly say, when either a friend or myself have chosen this venue, it is not because of what you will find on their food menu. Oh no.
Queen Mother is like a cleaner, less book-shelved and less trippy version of the Red Room or the "someone-call-a-food-inspector-to-shut-this-dingy-place-down-again" Green Room. As their menu seems to be akin yet slightly more appetizing and pricier than the ones found in the other two locales. Which is not saying expensive.
In the end you come here to chill. Spend a few hours without being harassed to leave (quite hill of them), have beer(s) or coffee(s), meet and chat with friends and watch the hipsters in their natural habitat. For that my friends, this venue is well recommended. :-)
