| - I was running late to meet up friends for lunch here at Krung Siam. It was recommended from a friend of a friend. When I step through the door, no one greeted me at all. I scoped the place out looking for my friends. after a few rounds of head turning, I saw my friend waving me down into this separate room.
This place looks pretty upscale due to the decor, however, the service is a far cry from being upscale. We constantly had to flag down a waitstaff (Even though the place seemed pretty empty) since they were just standing around doing nothing.
When we asked for something, they looked irritated as to not wanting to be bothered or that they weren't our waiter/waitress. It's just BULL!!! If their waitstaff were attentive, we wouldn't have to flag someone down to get some service.
So to the food. It was mediocre at best. The yellow and green curry were bleh. It was more like a soup. The pad thai wasn't as flavorful as I had wanted it to be. It was more on the bland side of the spectrum. The only dish that blew my mind was the Jun Pad Poo. The crab meat was fresh and big chunks at that.
This was the really bummer here. When you are done eating, you're setting yourself up for a dessert that you expect that a Thai Restaurant should have. SERIOUSLY! NO MANGO WITH STICKY RICE? wait wait . . . NO FRIED BANANA WITH ICE CREAM? WTFH!!! The server's response was " We don't have mango with sticky rice. Oh we don't have fried banana with ice cream either. It's not in season right now so we don't have it." Everyone at our table thought . . . "ARE YOU F-ing SERIOUS?" So we decided to go even further and asked "So what do you have?" The response was, "Oh we have just plain ice cream and roti". To our disappointment, we just asked for the check so we can leave.
Overall, since they had a cheap lunch special. It was a cheap bargain. I'll be a little on the positive side and give them a 2 star. 1 got the nice decor of the place. 2 for the cheap lunch deal.
My advice is to test this place out during the lunch hour so you don't get charged more for something that you would've gotten for less. Who is to say, right? They might have something super good that will blow your mind, but so far for me, nothing stood out for me.
