  • Practically born and raised in Thai restaurants because my family owns several in Chicago and Thailand -- I hope that means something when I say I will never go back to this place. Worst Thai food ever. Sometimes when I walk into a place they immediately wonder if I am Thai and ask me if I want "authentic Thai". Isn't that what I am here for? Immediately I recognize that I might not have always have a good meal if I frequent the restaurant. I walked in to Thai Taste and got several looks and stares but none of the owners or wait staff ever asked me. I figure that this place has been around for years and it's busy so it must be decent, right? This place just serves whatever they throw on a plate and calls it Thai food, maybe that's why the restaurant is called "Taste of Thai" because it sure don't taste like it! I would be much happier eating Chinese and I don't even like Chinese food. Just because it's the first restaurant of its kind in the area, does not mean that it's the best or any good. So enough of my ranting. Here's some useful information - our table had Satay, Mee Krob, Tod Mon Pla, Panang, Pad Gra Pow, Pad Thai, and their "specialty" Thai Taste Fried Rice. You know...basic Thai food that most Thais know how to cook. The equivalent difficulty in cooking a few of these dishes would be chicken wings, spaghetti, and beef stew. I tasted everything (I chuckle now when I say "taste" simply because of the name of this restaurant) and did not enjoy a single thing. The meat was either dry or tough, the flavor was either lacking in one dish or foul in another. It also seemed like the cook was trying to be "creative" but ended up tasting (haha, there's that word again) like a disaster. This place is busy and I have heard good things about it from locals. I have also heard that before this place opened, no one really has had Thai food before. My experience with people and Asian food, actually food in general in NC, is that people don't know the difference or don't know any better. So readers....here is my recommendation - skip Thai Taste and go to Thai 1st Bistro @ Blakeney and get yourself some decent Thai food! It's worth the drive. A message to the Thai Taste owners: stick with simple basic Thai cooking. Stay true to the flavors and ingredients of Thai food by keeping it authentic.
