| - Went here on a Saturday evening. It wasn't too full, but had a good number of people in it. Between the four of us, we ordered, the Lava Trio, Pad Thai, Thai beef noodle soup (Thai pho) with a crab rangoon on the side, and a vegetarian tofu stir fry. We also ordered three rolls of sushi
Atmosphere (2/5)
Not fancy, very casual, chill. Like most Champaign Asian restaurants, a little dingy. There is a small outdoor seating section, and some nice natural light near the front with the windows.
Food (3/10)
Let me start with the good. The crab rangoon was good. I mistakenly ordered it after reading the reviews for the My Thai crab rangoon, but I was pleasantly surprised because I enjoyed it. The Lava Trio was also decent. Not the freshest seafood (alright not fresh at all), but it was tasty albeit expensive.
That is all that was good about this place. The Pad Thai and vegetable stir were both too salty and too sweet. The beef noodle soup was basically salted basil water, with a heaping serving of oil. On top of that, our server decided not to bring out the
sushi until well after we were finished eating the rest of the food despite asking for the sushi first. When the sushi finally came out, one of the rolls, called the White Bear, came with very little scallop in the roll, and on top of that, my dad who orders the roll regularly, commented on how it was the worst White Bear he has ever had. The Volcano was some kind of crab cake on top of a basic California roll. The Bangkok roll, which I ordered after reading various reviews, was a heap load of good ingredients thrown together into one mess of a roll. That one I picked apart and ate the pieces individually. Not bad.
Service (2/5)
Our server seemed nice enough, but unfamiliar with the menu. When I asked for opinions about her favorite dishes, she barely had any opinions because she barely had touched the food. At least she was honest. However, When we complained about the White Bear being subpar, she gave us a dirty questioning look, apologized, and offered free desert as compensation, which unfortunately, we did not try because we were full.
Value (2/5)
The food was not that good. Ok it was pretty bad. And also not cheap. Our bill
came to over 100 for four people. Three of us did not enjoy our meal.
Overall the whole experience breaks down like so:
Atmosphere: 2/5 (Dingy with some decent natural lighting near the windows.)
Service: 2/5 (Server gave us dirty looks when we complained about the White Bear.)
Value: 1/5 (Small portions + bad food = sad wallet.)
Food: 3/10 (Parts of the meal were edible but not much was enjoyable.)
Overall: 8/25 - Would have to pull teeth to make me go back. Try at your own risk. Maybe you will have better luck.
