| - Looking for Thai Food? Go to Thai Express in the food court not here.
I've been here twice my first experience wasn't the greatest, maybe it's what I ordered, the typical Pad Thai and basically got a snack and not a meal for $13. So I thought I would give it a second try, that second try will be my last.
The look of the restaurant though is very modern, clean, and well maintained. The staff working is very informative but seem very unhappy to work there only b/c I did not see anyone smile. You know if you smile at someone usually more times than not the person will smile back automatically, well that didn't happen here, it's like they've been trained not to smile.
My second visit here just happened to be during their 5th anniversary and they had a special ayce deal for $13 gratuity already included which was a pretty sweet deal considering I paid $13 for one dish last time. I took full advantage of this b/c it gave me an opportunity to see what's good and what's not.
To start of I had soup both the wonton and hot and sour shrimp soup. The wonton soup was the better one of the two it wasn't salty had the right amount of wontons, 2 to be exact for that size and tasted just right. The hot and sour soup was disappointing, for one I was expecting that thick rich hot and sour soup you get at Chinese restaurants which it wasn't, also, the soup was very sour and you only got one piece of shrimp in it, BRUTAL!
For apps the grilled chicken satay stood out the most, it was very flavourful and that peanut sauce as a dip was just right. For the main dishes the pad thai was just like I remember it horrible and no flavour at all, the fried rice was horrific, it's like they just left it as plain steam rice and threw in chicken and veggies to make it seem like fried rice. The lemongrass chicken was horrible, way to much sauce, the general tao, orange, and lemon chicken were good but you can just go downstairs at the food court and get that at manchu wok b/c it's absolutely the same. The garlic beef was very good not to much sauce and just the right spice, the mixed veggies in black bean sauce was very good as well.
To be a great restaurant you have to have that one dish that stands out from all the rest of the restaurants and fast food restaurants out there, unfortunately there wasn't a thing there that made me want to come back. So the next time I'm craving thai or asian food in general at the mall I'll just head to the food court b/c the food is so much better and alot cheaper.
Items to definitely get:
-garlic beef
-chicken satay
-mixed veggies in black bean sauce
