| - I gave this place 5 stars. It should be 4.5 stars. There were a few little things that were "off". But mostly amazing.
First the service... I called for reservations a couple weeks in advance because I tried to get in when we had company before and couldn't do it. So we had to wait about 5-10 min after our reservation time which wasn't bad. We were seated in a booth that was pretty small for 5 of us. But it turned out to be ok because they cleared off the empty plates quickly. Our waiter was knowledgeable, but I had a difficult time understanding him at times. At the end we asked for to go boxes. Our waiter was very busy with a large party of people next to us. So we asked one of the other server people walking by. He gave us plastic coated boxes for the leftovers which included curry which would not have worked. We then asked our waiter again for some plastic to go tubs. He said he usually packs up the leftover food for us and put our curry in the tubs. Our water was filled constantly and our drinks were refilled often before we asked. So the service is not a well oiled machine yet. I'm thinking that they haven't been in the new place that long and there are a few kinks to work out.
About the food, I ordered the Koong Sarong (prawn in a blanket) appetizer. That was one of the best tasting foods we ordered. It tasted like bacon fried wonton wrapped shrimp, but I couldn't find the bacon. It just had the flavor of bacon. So good. We also ordered the garlic fried prawns because everyone talks about it. When they first brought it out, it was cold. I asked they if it was supposed to be cold because it was sitting on some cold chopped cabbage. They said no and brought another warmer plate. It was really good and crunchy with good flavor. I'm glad I tried it, but won't order it again because it's very expensive for what you get. We ordered crab fried rice. It had large pieces of egg, crab and other things like large pieces of cold cucumber and tomato. That made the rice get cold quickly. I'm not sure I understand the value of using cold food in a warm dish of food, but my friend said that is how they do it in Thailand. Mmmm. So the flavor was good , but I won't order that again. I had green curry and my husband had Musaman curry. The flavors are amazing. He ordered a 3 hotness level, I ordered a level 2. Mine was much hotter than his. I think it might be difficult to regulate the hotness levels when some of the dishes have fresh chili's/peppers and some do not. At any rate, both of the curries were excellent...better than anywhere we have ever been. My son ordered the Crispy Duck on Drunken Noodles. and said it was excellent. I guess it's difficult to find duck prepared correctly. He was very happy. My daughter in law ordered Beef Rama. She said it was amazing. My daughter order Squid Garlic. She said it was ok, but would try something else next time. I will definitely come back. I like a quieter environment, but I really love the food. I'd like to just go there for a date with my husband.
Summary.... excellent flavors and sauces! If you would like warm food, don't order food on a bed of cold salad. Be patient with the service. All the servers were friendly. Slightly noisy, but nice decor.
