| - Not only is this overpriced, the quality of the food was mediocre and the portions were small. Dry Pad Thai, My Mee Krob, which is chicken, shrimp and mixed vegetables sautéed in a sweet and sour sauce served
over Thai egg noodles was actually a few morsels of chicken, no shrimp to speak of and what tasted similar to McDonald's sweet and sour sauce mixed with ketchup smothering it all. I had 5 bites and didn't finish.
I take that back, the coconut soup - Tom Kha - was excellent.
A group of 10 of us were here for a birthday, and they had dedicated two staff members to us that night, or shall I say rather, one wait staff, one High Pressure Sales person. Wow, I expect high pressure sales and up selling in many environments, just not for dinner.
We were basically told it would be ridiculous to order anything but the King's feast, which was waaaay too much food for what we wanted, and also cost $35 per person. excessive when you can be full at other Thai places for a mere $16 pp. We were asked many, many, MANY a variation of this script below:
"you'd like coffee?"
"no thanks."
"I think some wine then."
"no, thanks my beer is fine"
"another appetizer?" (after already sharing a few between us). And then proceeded to repeat this convo with each one of us. EACH ONE!!! Arggh. Our friends saw my sister and I's eyes bulge out at the constant interruptions.
And then again the same convo at desert. We at first thought it was funny, but we dreaded her presence eventually because it was beyond annoying. Poor birthday girl, she felt bad for us.
that being said, they allowed us to bring in our own cake ($2 plating fee pp). And the owner did ask us how our food was briefly and we could've said something, but it just didn't feel like the time to bring it up, and no one wanted to deal with it.
No, no, no. That's not customer service - it's harassment. Good thing her serving co-hort was absolutely silent.
Unfortunately, most of us, or maybe all of us, will not be back.
