| - I like family owned authentic restaurants just like the next Yelper, but I'm not sure why this restaurant gets five stars.
Sure, the portions are huge (our chicken stay appetizer had six large pieces: probably close to a whole chicken breast) but there's more to a restaurant than that.
I ordered the chicken Pad Kee Mow (per their menu: stirred flat noodle with chili, bell peppers, snow peas, basil leaves, tomatoes with brown sauce). It was spicy and it was plentiful. My friend ordered the Pad See Ew (Stirred fried big flat rice noodle with egg. broccoli, and chicken in sweet light soy sauce). Both were fine, but definitely not close to the best thai I've ever tasted. We had two full take-home boxes.
One star knocked off for the service. The waitresses (one which was the restaurant owners' daughter i'm sure) could not even smile, and rushed us to finish our appetizers so that they could bring the main dishes to us. They repeatedly tried to our plates away as we were still "working on them" and seemed annoyed about it.
Would I go again? Sure, but only for take out. huge portions, decent prices, so-so service.
