The service was very good. friendly and prompt.
The food was really disappointing.
spring rolls (average)
Pretty tasty but nothing to write home about. They were your standard Thai spring roll.
Masaman beef curry (awful)
The curry was a flavourless brown broth with tough, gristly slices of beef, loads of onions and a few chunks of potatoes. The potatoes were good, but they were pretty sparse. The beef was truly the worst part of the dish. It was dry, tough and a fair bit of it got chewed up and spit out on account of the way-beyond-acceptable amount of gristle in it. The broth (curry?) tasted ok after I added a bunch of soy sauce, peanut sauce and a touch of sriracha - but I certainly expected more.
mixed veggie stir fry (awful)
The sauce was a flavourless demonstration of oil and water not mixing. The red and green peppers were crisp and tasty, but for the most part this was pretty disappointing too.
Pad tai (average)
This was so-so. It was kind of dried out and lacked seasoning, but it wasn't the worst I've had. Unfortunately that's the best I can say about it.
coconut rice (very good)
This was very good. Nice and sticky and a really nice coconut flavour.
This all cost $56, which I guess is cheaper than some other Thai spots in town, and the portions were somewhat larger.
That being said, is a bigger portion really a better value if the food itself isn't very good?
I don't think we'll be returning to Juree's.
