It pains me to say this but... Meh, I don't see what the big deal is about this place.
And I really really did want to love it!! I live in the area so like to support local businesses and what's not to love about the story here? That being said, the food was just ok and the service sub-par.
The first time I had veggie curry and rice. It was good but forgettable. It tasted pretty much like the many other versions of this I've had elsewhere. Except that it was very heavy tasting. Not a good thing.
Next time I had a veggie guaytiaw noodle soup. I asked if they had a completely vegetarian version (i.e. no meat or chicken stock in the soup). The waiter kindly went to check and yay, they did! While I appreciate the attempt, the uninspired broth tasted pretty much just like water, salt and lime juice. Way overpriced at $10. Actually I find all of their menu items are much higher than other thai restaurants.
My husband had the beef guaytiaw soup. While it looked amazingly delicious, he said the big chunks of beef tasted like they had been cooking all day.
The spring rolls ordered with our meal never arrived. Fine, I get it, mistakes happen. What shocked me is that there was not even the slightest attempt at an apology. When we went to pay, the spring rolls that never arrived were on the bill and we politely said that we never received them. The staff person then took our bill, blankly punched in things on the computer and then wordlessly handed us a new bill minus the spring rolls. No apology. Not a word. NOTHING!!! I was stunned. It was obvious that she just didn't care. Such an obvious lack of concern for your customers is unacceptable. It's as if they know that people are going to keep coming because of all the hype and they really don't care if a few people walk away unsatisfied. What a shame.
