| - Juree's is decorated to perhaps remind you of being in Thailand, with ponds and buddhas and the like. I guess its a good reno considering it used to be an old Burger King.
The two of us arrived at about 5:45pm on a Friday, which was busy and we didn't have reservations. After a 20 minute wait we got in, which was quite decent. However, it took 15 minutes before we even saw our server, and then we had to flag her down.
We started with the calamari. I found it too heavily breaded (when there's more crunchy stuff versus actual seafood), and the sauce it came with didn't compliment it well.
Our mains were the Red Curry with Chicken, and Beef Noodles and Veggies. The Red Curry had an off putting smell to it - I'm thinking it was the bamboo shoots, even though they tasted good, but it was decent enough.
The Beef Noodles and Veggies though was really well done and tasted great. I love coconut rice, so we ordered a large and it was a very large portion, however, it was super wet, and not so appealing.
We ordered dessert, which was the Thai custard. Now, I have always been known for my love of dessert, but this had zero taste and was an odd color - nothing like the picture on the menu. I had two bites and put it aside. The chef came out and saw it, and took it away and kindly offered us some coconut ice cream, which we declined - although I'm sure it would be good. They even took it off the bill, but I didn't actually expect, and was a nice gesture.
Although I had a mediocre review of this place, I think because it has so many menu items, I'd be willing to try it again.
