| - Come at off hours - this place gets busy and they aren't fast even when it isn't that busy. You need a lunch hour, not half-hour if you want to eat here. Be prepared for that.
I would gladly give the soup 5 stars, the green curry is 3 stars, and the pricing is 2 stars. Composite score is 3 stars.
Major score factors:
1) Pricing - this place costs 33% more than it should be. The soup was about $10 for a large bowl and it was mostly delicious broth, so I would have been happy at $8. The pricing completely loses meaning on the green curry, it was $14 and it was probably not much more than the soup, so I would say $9. On the entree we are overpriced by 50%, and the soup at 25%. I didn't even get drinks, but I don't include drinks because they are a category onto themselves. Be warned - the green curry is a very sparing serving size.
2) Serving sizes - the soup has an excellent serving size both in the bowl and in the cup. The entrees are undersized a bit, usually I can't finish an entree and a cup of soup, but this time I was able to finish a bowl of soup and polish off most of the entree. If I hadn't gotten soup I would have had to stop at the hot dog stand on the way back to the office.
3) Flavor - the taste of the soup was spot on. Not too strong, not too weak. I could have handled slightly stronger soup, but it had such a satisfying coconut flavor the lack of lemon grass notes was just fine by me. For whatever reason the soup so dominated my flavor receptors that the curry tasted downright bland.
4) Menu options - I am not pleased with the lack of lunch menu and the options on the menu. There were some Thai dishes I was looking for and didn't find - some Amazing Chicken would have been amazing.
