| - Food was decent, mind you the restaurant is still fairly new and is starting out..thus the more lenient review. I'd really give it 3.75/5 if I could; keep reading if you want to find out why.
My boyfriend and I felt like the food held back a little on the spice and authenticity to cater towards its clientele. Like I said the food was still good, but we wanted authenticity!
We started with the chicken satay which was nothing special, but presentation was pretty. He had the curry pad Thai and I had the signature fried chicken. Both were good, however my boyfriend and I preferred my Khao Mun Gai Tod over his Curry Pad Thai. We got two Thai iced tea, as well, which were both yummy, but were definitely made sweeter than most places (if your palette preference is less sugary/sweet definitely let them know when you place the drink order).
I had to take away one star for the frigid environment. We did go in the middle of winter where it snowed 15cm the day of and the small dining room that has 3 tables of four had no vents in the front = no heat. Even our server wore a thick turtleneck under her uniform. They had one heater running right beside us, but we were both pretty cold, mind you I was in a sweater and had a scarf laid over and my boyfriend was just in a tshirt. There was also one heater that was unused which they really should have plugged in but didn't (maybe a fuse thing?)
There were many takeout orders while we were dining in since everyone was taking advantage of the 15% Off take out cash only deal. One of the customers who placed an order and sat at a table 3 feet away from us was freezing in his WINTER jacket... He even tucked in his arms towards his chest to keep himself warm and he was still cold... Yeah, that cold. Oh... And our food that came FRESH out of the kitchen was practically room temperature after 2 bites because.... That's. How. COLD. the restaurant was
So... Unless the restaurant works out some design solution, I'd recommend take-out until the weather gets a little warmer.
Overall we weren't completely obsessed over the food like we wanted to be and the interior is underfinished affecting the food quality, but we're definitely going to come back and give this spot one more try to make a final conclusion. They are pretty generous with their portions which is a plus. Again, this sounds like more of a bad review than good, but every restaurant that is starting out will always have pros and cons and there's always something that can be fine tuned. HOPE TO COME BACK AND SEE. AN IMPROVEMENT!
