| - A little rain won't stop me from coming here after hearing all the positive reviews.
I arrived yesterday at around 1:30pm, and had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. However, I agree that the place is horribly understaffed. During the time I was waiting for a table, there were no less than 8 people who came in to order take out! With only two ladies on hand to serve, nobody came to clean my table until about 10 minutes after I was seated. They explained how it was a busy day with several people ordering take out/delivery due to the rain, and I understood (though hinted that they should have more staff).
In terms of food, I ordered the pad thai, mild. I considered their sukho pad thai, but $13 was a slightly steep price for the budget I had that day...perhaps next time. Anyway, the pad thai was extremely delicious! The noodles were chewy, just the way it should be (I hate it when the noodles fall apart so easily). The sauce was just the right amount and delicious as well, and it was just the right amount of spiciness I can take. I was even impressed that the portion was quite large; I sort of expected quality where quantity is a little lesser than normal, but I only barely finished it. At the end, I ordered veggie fresh rolls to go, as I figure I would give them a bit more money since they were so overwhelmed yesterday.
Definitely a place I would recommend, on par with Khao San Road (of course, they're sister branches, but still).
