| - Went here for lunch today for the first time. Not good. I was hoping this would better in order to save some walking when I needed a Thai food fix, but looks like I'll be walking further to Nicky's or Siam.
The prices were reasonable, lunch crowd is sparse (at least before noon), and the place looks nice.
The places purely loses points for the food and that is what matters most. They start you with an egg drop soup or an iceberg salad with some sort of spicy mayo salad dressing. Neither sound traditional to me. I got the salad and it was OK. Next, I went for the Pad Thai with a spice level 4 (scale is 1-5). It was somewhat familiar to what I consider Pad Thai, but the flavor seemed a little weak, it was a bit dry, and it was lacking the abundance of toppings I am used to from other local favorites. Also, the spice level wasn't quite hot enough for me, but I'm sure I could've ask for some extra spice if I wanted, but it wasn't a huge concern to me. If the price was better, I'd be more ok with these things, but it is the same as the aforementioned, better Thai restaurants downtown.
