The atmosphere wasn't bad. Interior features a high steeple ceiling, Thai decor, Thai ornaments in a picture frame, an LCD TV playing a slide show of pictures of Thailand, tea candle lit on the tables, wreaths by the window seats.
We were then seated and waitress gave us our menus. I noticed my menu had a large burn hole on it. I didn't question it. However maybe it was a sign of things to come?
When trying a new place I like to order something simple. If the place can make the simple dishes then anything out of the ordinary or exotic I could probably take a chance on. However if the place cannot make even a simple dish better I find it's best to end your meal there and take your loss.
We ordered two dishes to share:
Curry: chicken peanut sauce
From the Wok: Cashew nut chicken
They were terrible.
The curry was spicy and there was no warning of that. My GF not too found of spice and intentionally ordered it because the menu did not denote a chili for spice.
Cashew nut chicken dish was so sweet, as if there was like relish in it. I can only imagine how badly the pad Thai must be.
I ended up mixing the peanut sauce and from the shrimp chips and the peanut curry to the cashew nut chicken dish to voila create my own peanut curry cashew nut chicken dish to even the sweetness out.
Oh the food came out faster than fast food restaurant. This stuff is just slapped together.
The place was no good, atmosphere alright, but food terrible. I felt deceived by the Yelp community who reviewed this restaurant and gave it a high 4 star rating. It's also right beside an adult video store?! So if you're taking a date and this place doesn't pan out maybe consider visiting that.. Ha-ha jk
