| - Used to be really good! I wonder if Pa Maew is still in the kitchen. So disappointed, but was in the area after a campaign event, so decided to stop by.
We saw CafeZupas on the way and lamented not going later
The larb...too sad to even count on. Ended up taking it home, only because I dont like wasting food. Anyways, took it home and added the missing mint, extra cilantro, and roasted ground rice that every good Thai larb dish has. I'm always weary of Thai places that are "too-Thai " the ambience, the servers in Thai silk dresses. In Thailand they don't even dress like that except on marriage or a special day. Definitely not at a restaurant. The tamarind/cashew shrimp was palatable. Not sure how much tamarind was in at all, but sounded good. I spoke Thai to the server, AFTER the food was served . I don't look Thai at all, so maybe it was my kind way of saying " Did you really just try to serve me this?" Usually speaking Thai to the server is a prerequisite before ordering. To let them write the order in " Thai style for Thai person".........
I guess it was my fault for being served sautéed hamburger meat with minor seasonings.
You lost your touch Pinkaow. I hope you get it back so we can make this place our top Friday night dinner spot like we did, before you became 3 locations........
