| - 1 star because the food was edible and didn't make us sick. Also...it's the lowest rating possible. :/
minus 4 because the flavor was bad and it was waaaaaaay overpriced.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Thai noodles. I travel a lot and always hit up the Thai noodle joints around the hotels. I've had them at some places where the flavor is so amazing that I get absolutely addicted. So when a coworker told me that he got great Thai food right around the corner from my neighborhood, I was excited. I finally got around to ordering from Charm Thai Cuisine a couple of days ago. It was sooooooo disappointing.
The guy who took my order over the phone was nice enough. I believe he was also the person who gave me my food when I picked it up.
When I called to order, I said that I didn't see pork fried rice as an option for my boyfriend's fave, fried rice. The kid told me he thinks they can do pork fried rice for us. Oh, awesome! Yeeeeah...so "pork fried rice" to me, means fried rice with little bits of delicious pork cooked in with it. No...this was an additional $4 (So $15 for fried rice) and turned out to be squishy rice, flavored kind of like fried rice, with a big grilled piece of pork chopped into about 4 pieces, and plopped on top...did I mention it was $4? Ugh. It would've been nice for the guy to have mentioned that it would be $4 extra for pork.
The noodles were bland, and although I ordered "Thai hot" they weren't even very spicy. Most drunken noodles (Pad Kee Mow) I've had were very flavorful and saucy...these were dry, bland, clumped together and I threw 80% of them out. I just couldn't eat them. :(
We paid over $30 for crappy fried rice and gross noodles that went into the trash.
One more thing...the parking situation is pretty terrible. There's no parking lot for the restaurant. You just parallel park in one of the 4 or 5 spots nearby, or drive around the block and into a pothole filled dirt lot nearby and walk over. Not great for ordering carry out even if for some reason you like the food here.
Needless to say, we won't be returning to Charm Thai.
