Second trip failed to impress.
The service was better this time; though practically anything under an hour wait would have been an improvement. Unfortunately, my main gripe with Thai Elephant remains the same: they are scared of spicy food. I ordered Pad Kee Mao and specifically asked that it be Double Thai Hot (that is, as spicy as possible). What I received 20 minutes later was what might only be described as mild. It was a huge disappointment.
If my friends all insist on going here again, I may tag along. But I'll do my best to steer them to something more exciting. Thai food for grandmas.
