| - I have mixed emotions about this place because I've enjoyed meals here before but my last experience here was ridiculous. I asked if they could make their "pud thai" without fish sauce, and they said no. They can't even just leave it out, which i'm sure wouldn't make it taste that much different, because the sauces are apparently all pre-made and pre-mixed together. There is actually a huge menu here but very little of it is vegetarian friendly because it all has fish sauce and can't be made without it. Even basic things that you'd think could be made vegetarian, like spring rolls or a currey, all follow this rule, which is surprising because thai is one of the few cuisines that has lots of options because there are lots of vegetarians in thailand due to buddhism being so prevalent. Even if you're not vegetarian, the fish flavour can be very pungent and overpowering and for lack of a better word, gross.
AAAnyway, she circled the 3 options I could have for a vegetarian entree, and I went with my usual, bangkok stirfry. Food doesn't take long at all. When it arrives i start eating it only find that it has chicken, now I'm not sure if i specified I wanted the vegetable one, but she never asked me to confirm which version (veggie, chicken, or shrimp) I wanted, and based on our conversation earlier I assumed she knew I wanted the veggie one. Well it had been about 5 minutes of sitting there not eating before she came back and I said this wasn't what i ordered but not to worry about bringing another. At this point I didn't want to play catch up with my girlfriend and I was already unimpressed by the menu and not even that hungry in the first place. So she says ok and the manager comes to see if everythings ok, I say yes so as not to be fussy.
So my girlfriend is finishing up and says that i was a little short with the waitress so when she comes to collect her plate I tell her I'm sorry if I was rude. She says no problem, but we're going to be charged for the order they got wrong, that her manager didn't want to take it off the bill. WTF? I ask to talk to him again and he comes over again and this time maybe I'm a little rattled and predisposed, but I really didn't like the cut of his jib. Anyway I had to go into detail about why the food was sent back and why i didn't want another and why i hadn't explained this before and he agreed to waive it off the bill.
I wasn't going to write this review but my girlfriend who says she can't ever go back there and she was a regular before this, insisted that I should. She had waited around to bring takeout to her mom and the takeout process of ordering was way more haphazard and drawn out than eating in. After 10 minutes of waiting for her takeout they asked her if she had an order number or something like that and then it was back to square one.
I'm gonna miss that sticky rice.
