I don't get it. Lots of people I know call this their go to Thai place. It's like the McDonalds of Thai food. We took bites of our entrees after being disappointed by our appetizers, paid the check, and went to another restaurant to have dinner.
To start, the pad Thai recipe appears to be boxed noodles, ketchup and a few stingy pieces of chicken. Nothing but red noodles on a plate. It's like what I'd call Thai to my 3 year old if i was making it at home and was for some reason forced to make him eat Thai food.
Pad see ew was equally bland and devoid of the veggies that are part of the dish. Boiled noodles with some chicken tossed on top and a shake of soy sauce. I mean.... I could do better in a dorm room with a hot plate.
The apps tasted like they came from a box frozen and heated in the microwave. Trader Joe's has better offerings.
There is definitely a void of good Asian and Thai offerings in Charlotte, but how this place stays in business is a mystery to me.
