| - Just finished a take out order from KST as I'm still on my Dan P mission of Thai restaurant reviews. I had reviewed the menu online and was pleasantly surprised to see a number of Salmon dishes available as lunch specials. Salmon Basil, Salmon with Garlic, Three Taste Salmon. My head was spinning with daydreams of trying each and every one and incorporating KST into my list of go-to restaurants for relatively healthy lunch options. Plus they have brown rice! It was love at first menu review.
Call in the order. "We don't have salmon anymore" Okay Chicken Basil it is, spiced 7/10. Ho hum. But still, brown rice! :D
When I walked in, I was surprised to see a large, extremely busy restaurant. I don't know what I was expecting or why I was expecting it, but it wasn't that. I actually waited for a couple in front of me to be seated and informed the waiter I had a take out order. He was extremely efficient and friendly and got me in and out of there in about 2 minutes flat.
Back to the office the disappointments started to pile up. First, inside the bag was simply my entree in a takeout container. No napkins, no plasticware, no sauces, literally just the takeout container. How is at least a napkin and fork set not a standard take out provided item? Actually opening the entree led to more disappointment. Their website states (along with the non-existent salmon dishes): "Served with steamed or fried rice, egg roll, wonton, salad, and soup of the day. Soup not included in togo order" Well, there wasn't ANYTHING other than my entree and rice. No egg roll, no wonton, no salad. Now as I said before, it was pretty busy so I can forgive some oversight, but to miss out on providing 3 of the 5 components of a take out lunch special, and to not provide napkins or plasticware?
But still, brown rice!!!!!! Well, not quite. For the next disappointment, the rice provided inside the 2/3 full takeout container (I assume the 1/3 was supposed to have the salad and/or eggroll and wonton) was regular steamed white rice.
Here's the kicker, I actually enjoyed what I received quite a bit. The chicken was nicely ground up, and the dish had a great flavor overall. The rice wasn't as sticky as I usually like and almost ventured into Uncle Ben's like levels of separation. The spice level was a little more intense than I usually look for in a 7, but I wouldnt mind so much if it wasn't for the other oversights.
All in all I have to go with a 2. Had they gotten the order correct and provided me with what I ordered, it would have been a solid 3 for sure. Brown rice :(
