| - Wow such a disappointment, I could probably cook better Thai food at home using a free recipe found online, and I have never made Thai food in my life. Worst of all was the service though. There were 2 waitresses in the front seating, serving, and clearing off tables. We were seated in a nice booth quickly by the "friendly" waitress. However, the other waitress "angry one" ended up being our server and she was rude and standoffish in a manner that made my mom and I feel uncomfortable. As we ordered our food she looked irritated and gave me a strange look when I ordered the soft shell crab as she ripped the menu away from us and ran into the back without saying anything...awkward. The food came out quickly within 20 minutes. The appearance of the soft shell crab was delightful; however the green curry my mom ordered was sloppily plated and would have benefited with some fresh garnish. The green curry lacked authenticity, where was the coconut milk, and flavor? The soft shell crab was covered in a pungent garlic sauce which I felt did not mix well with the crab. If the sauce was a lighter, buttery, herby sauce it would have been perfect since the quality of the crab and the way it was cooked with the veggies was spot on. The garlic sauce they used tasted like something you would expect on a Hawaiian style fried garlic chicken but not on seafood. The waitress never came by to ask how our food was, or to refill drinks. My mom wanted to ask for chopsticks instead of the fork provided but obviously could not since our waitress was MIA even though there were only 2 other tables. She came quick to deliver the check though..not so quick to give us back our change (we paid cash). My mom still tipped 15% in hopes that the waitresses would split the tip.
The prices are about $15 per person (for dinner) not including dessert or a drink which I feel is pricey for what you get and how you are treated. I am sorry to say but I will never come back to Cha Da Thai, which is sad because I live right down the street and love Thai food.
