I was really excited to come here for our staff lunch for "Festivus". I had heard great things. I've been missing good Thai food since moving here from Ontario-yes it exists in Calgary (not nearly as much though) but so far my experience has been mediocre food at really expensive prices.
The decor at the King and I is lovely....soothing and cozy. A little on the "nicer" side actually-I'd want to be in business casual if I was going again. The service was great-very attentive.
The food was good. A couple of our dishes were amazing (red chicken curry and some kind of beef curry). The rest was kind of average-good but I've had better.
The real kicker for me is price. I don't mind paying a pretty penny for great food but in this case we paid a pretty penny for average food, smaller portions that just weren't warranted by the food itself. I'd consider going back for the red curry but for the price I'd rather take a chance on trying somewhere new. It didn't impress me or offend really-it was in that scary zone for restaurants of somewhere in between.
