Bummer! New management must mean new cooks and/or recipes. Every time I came to Vegas for business I'd eat here or get take out at least once. Tonite was no exception. However the exception about tonite is that it will be my last time eating here.
Tom Yum Goong soup had at least a 1/4 cup of VERY large woody lemon grass pieces. I had to pick all of it out it before I could eat the soup. There was a large quartered tomato in the soup(?). Filler?? Broth wasn't very clear and it was a bit oily. There was a generous amount of shrimp. Way, way too many mushrooms though. Nicely spiced though.
The "King and I" signature rice dish lacked pineapple chunks and cashews. The pork was nice, chicken a bit dry. There were only 2 shrimp in the dish and they lacked flavor. The rice was sticky and slightly sweet. Not anywhere near the quality it used to be.
Portions for each were smaller and more expensive than what I recall.
When I called to place my pick up order I wasn't asked if I wanted spicy or not. I asked for extra chili sauce just in case. Good move on my part.
Sad. This was my go to place in Vegas. I'd even entertain clients here on occasion if they weren't pretentious.
