| - This restaurant reminded me very much of my fine dining experience in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The decor, the music, and the food were comparable. The only thing that was lacking considerably was the service and attentiveness of the servers or lack thereof.
I had a reservation booked and when I walked in, I waited 7 minutes to be seated. There were plenty of open tables however the servers were busy serving tables. One server acknowledged that she saw me, but didn't care too much to seat me as she grabbed the water jug to refill water cups instead. Considering how upscale this Thai restaurant is compared to other Thai restaurants in Vegas, one would assume there would be a hostess available. Nope, because all three times I've visited, I spent at least 5-10 minutes waiting by the door as the available tables were screaming for me.
Aside from the subpar service, the food was amazing! The Pad Thai was exquisite and tasty. The noodles were sweet and the chef was very generous with the chicken. The Pad Thai was plated beautifully in a cross cross egg pouch and garnished with what looked like sweet potato chips. The dish itself was rather pricey at $18, but that didn't keep me away from coming back again for the Pad Thai. It is also offered as a lunch special entree. The lunch special costs $9.99 and comes with soup and dessert. Take out lunch specials do not come with soup.
The Tom Yum soup with shrimp was another favorite of mine. It had the perfect amount of sweet and sour flavors. My favorite part of the coup was actually the mushrooms. I'm usually not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I was definitely one with this dish. Definitely coming back for this again!
The Thai iced tea was nothing special. I would skip this next time. It tasted like creamer and didn't have too much tea flavor. The person who made the Thai iced tea was a little heavy handed with the ice--my cup was more than 3/4 full!
The restaurant is more upscale than other Thai restaurants you would normally find in Vegas so be prepared for higher prices! This spot would also be perfect for a date with that special someone!
