| - I hate to write a bad review, but this was a really disappointing experience, and I think people should know before they go. Maybe I was in on an off day (Sunday just before noon), but still...
I got the Tom Kha soup, pan fried potstickers and glass noodle salad. The soup looked absolutely nothing like the photos in another review. It wasn't terrible, but there was so little coconut milk in it that it was spread out over the top in little beads, which looks unappetizing (like curdled milk) and doesn't tase all that great. Overall it was the best part of my meal, there was a decent amount of greens and chicken in it, although the chicken was a little tougher than ideal.
Potstickers were pretty bland, I don't know if there was any seasoning in the pork. I guess the amount of food for the price was appropriate, but the flavor just wasn't there.
By the time I got to the glass noodle salad, I was kind of over the whole meal. Presentation was disappointing, and there was just way too much dressing. It didn't taste fresh, which made me wary of the seafood (again, decent protein ratio for the price, but I only ate a little bit of it.) It was swampy and unbalanced, and I ended up eating a few bites and leaving.
I hate to bash a neighborhood restaurant, but there are two other Thai restaurants in the area that are only slightly more expensive and manage to get it right. I would encourage anyone looking for a good meal to try one of them instead. I hope Dancing Crab was just having a bad day, they're still new. Maybe I'll try them again sometime and stick to curry or something.
