| - I cannot believe that this place has so many 5 start reviews. I tried this because every review was glowing about this place and thought this just might be one of those truly hidden gems. So imagine my complete disappointment after eating here.
The concept is pretty cool actually. They just bring you food until you tell them to stop. Some food is warming in chaffing dishes and others are being freshly prepared by the owner. The chicken/chili soup was decent, different from other Thai places. Next came a papaya salad, which was nice and spicy. Next came the main courses. First a plate with yellow curry, red curry, and some kind of Thai chili chicken with a scoop of rice. First off. all three chicken dishes were below room temperature. They might have been fine had they been warm, but the chicken was tough and there was no spicy heat to to the red curry or Thai chili chicken. Next came some chicken skewers. They were at least fresh off the grill, but the dipping sauce had no flavor. Next came the awkward moment when the server asked us if we needed anything else, my friend and I exchanged a weird glance and said 'I don't know, you tell us, so far you've just been bringing us food'. So anyhow, more food came out. Fried rice with chicken. Nothing special. And last Pad Thai with chicken. The flavor was very sweet and was not very pleasing to the palate. I've had better (and spicier) Pad Thai at Pei Wei. Last we were served coconut ice cream with some sort of Lychee egg custard. You can't mess up store bought ice cream.
I really wanted this place to be good and I'm sure the owner tries, but the food is just not good. Sorry to the owner, but please do not waste your time in trying this place.
