| - Awful, awful food.
We normally go to Thai Gourmet on Graham and Darrow, and absolutely love it. We thought we would try something new, and were nearby, so we stopped here instead.
Let's start with the positives: friendly service, so-so decor, acceptable appetizers.
After the appetizers, we still had our hopes up. But as soon as the server set down the plate of Pad Thai in front of me, this terrible smell hit my nose. I waited for my girlfriend to try her Ginger Chicken dish. After one bite she had this disgusted look on her face, and said "This is horrible!" I thought she was joking, there was no way it was that bad, but as I put my fork into the Pad Thai, it was like scooping up a clump of slime. I took a bite of it and got completely disgusted. It did not taste anything like Pad Thai - just bland, nasty slime. I could only force down a few bites.
She thinks the Ginger Chicken was bought ready-made and just microwaved, and I have to agree, it had the taste of frozen food. It was still better than mine (which is not saying much), so after she had a few bites, I had some of hers. She really wanted to say something to the staff, but we held back. We quickly boxed it up, paid the bill and left. We've never thrown out leftovers before, but there's a first for everything.
They have to know how bad the food is, yet they serve it to you with a smile. If this was a cheap $5 all-you-can-eat buffet, I could understand it being this bad.
Save yourself the money and drive down Darrow Rd to Pad Thai. Or even better, go further south down Darrow Rd to Thai Gourmet, which easily has the best food, service, and decor in the area.
