Had eaten at Corner Thai for several years but not for over 6 months until yesterday. Went with a friend for lunch. It was Saturday, so we ordered from the regular menu and decided to split a dish.
I noticed the menu had changed. It now had pictures of the dish along with the name. I wondered if the restaurant had changed ownership. There were only 2 other patrons besides us. They had already been served and were finishing their food.
First of all, after the menus were dropped at our table, the server didn't return for 10 minutes to ask us what we wanted to drink. I was getting ready to go find her. Before she left for the drinks, we told her we were ready to order. We ordered Potstickers as an appetizer and Garlic and Pepper Beef as the entree.
TWENTY MINUTES LATER!!! - We received our entree. NO POTSTICKERS! By that time, we were the only people in the restaurant. We asked what happened. She said they were coming.
I couldn't believe it! The entree was decorated with a huge radish flower that took up half of the plate with large pieces of cucumber and the portion of the Garlic and Pepper beef was unbelievably miniscule - not even a lunch special portion. I have NEVER seen such a small portion for an entree in any Thai restaurant and the price was $8.95. We were shocked. It was definitely NOT enough for 2 people to share. I am not exaggerating. A HUGE disappointment. There were literally only 9 very small pieces of beef (Yes we counted). In addition, the beef was rubbery - not at all tender. When I had eaten here before, the portions were normal for Thai restaurants and the quality was very good.
When the Potstickers finally arrived (another 7 minutes after the entree), it was obvious they came from frozen, and were dry, and tasted terrible.
What happened to this place??? We felt ripped off especially due to the obvious small portion and huge decorations to take up space on the plate.
There are many other fine Thai restaurants that I would recommend. This would not be one of them and I will never go back.
I do not understand the recent positive reviews. Stay away if you want good Thai food!
Oh and the SERVICE - She NEVER checked our water once or checked to see if everything was okay with our food.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT!
