| - I will have to write a review based specifically on the last half dozen reviews which give this establishment a very poor rating.
Believe me, I was nervous going in as I had just finished reading nothing but negative feedback.
1) General appearance.
This little stripmall joint has its own unique style with three saltwater tanks holding tropical fish, and a Koi and turtle pond. All appeared and smelled clean. The center of the restaurant is raised and individual booths are partitioned with white curtains. It gives the place a more romantic and enchanting atmosphere. Walls are decorated with the traditional Thai artwork. I did note that there were two tables near ours that were not cleaned or cleared during our time there. However, our booth and table were clean, our silverware polished and glasses free of spots or stains. Our server also had a cleanly appearance in white clothes and apron.
2) Service.
We were seated immediately, but no one came for our drink order for quite some time. After drink orders were placed, it took about ten minutes until we received our beverages. The Thai Iced Tea came after about 5-7 minutes, the Mango smoothie in about ten, and the two glasses of water we requested at the begin came after everything else. We did not receive a place setting, such as napkins and silverware, but food was delivered within 15 minutes. Server did stop at our table throughout our meal to make sure we had everything we needed. He wasn't overly friendly, but I felt that was due to English not being his first language. Considering there were only three other occupied tables, service was slow. It appeared the entire restaurant had one server and one cook. So, I have to be understanding.
3) Food.
I love curry, and I ordered the Pumpkin curry, which had been recommended by other reviewers. I am sensitive to spice so I ordered it mild. Mild is exactly how it came to the table. The curry was very flavorful and creamy, and I could taste the pumpkin. It was very very delicious. The chicken meat was white, tender, and plump. The carrots were sweet and cooked to perfection. It appeared the curry also had either a butternut squash or cuts of pumpkin meat. I highly agree that there were way too many onions, I simply scooped them out. In the future, I will order the dishes without onion. Aside from that, temperature of the curry was perfect and I was very happy with it and the $9.95 price.
Second item ordered was the Tom Kha (Coconut Soup) for $8.95. With mushrooms and generous portions of white chicken breast meat cooked in
Thai spices, coconut milk, and lemongrass it was also delicious. Only complaint I have about it is the massive amounts of onion - which literally comprised half the dish. Again, will order without onions in the future.
As I am not a fan of deep fried foods, especially those greasy egg rolls, I opted to stick with ordering what I know Thai restaurants do well. Curry and soup. I was not disappointed with either.
I will be back for the pumpkin curry!!!!
