| - Ordered delivery from here last night due to a JustEat voucher ($15 off, min $30 order). Overall I was fairly satisfied. We ordered the "dinner for two" pre-built combo which was 2 spring rolls, the red curry chicken, the chicken pad thai, brown rice, and 2 canned pop. It's incredibly rare we see a pre-built combo that actually sounds decent, as they usually include the stuff people aren't as interested in.
The spring rolls were quite good, although pretty much the same as any other asian place. Not much else to say there.
The red curry chicken had a really nice sauce, although it was very liquidy. It would be a lot nicer if it was a creamier consistency and not soupy. Also, I really wish they gave you more of the sticky brown rice, because it was not a proportionate amount to main dishes. If we had known, we would have ordered a second rice container (so, one each) which would've been the right ratio. The actual red curry chicken dish was nice and would be a solid recommend if the sauce was thicker, rather than basically a bath of sauce.
The chicken pad thai was fine. I would order it again especially if in the mood for pad thai, but it wasn't anything to WOW over. I've had better pad thai. I do wish they provided more peanuts than that little container worth. Perhaps 2 containers for that amount of food. Although I do like how it was separated so that someone not into peanuts could avoid.
Speaking of amount of food? The portions of both chicken dishes were plentiful. Between both of us, there are plenty of leftovers, but no rice. Most places give you basically an entire "main dish tupperware" worth of sticky rice. Here it was a smaller styrofoam circle. Again, the proportion of rice to main dishes was off.
I was originally going to give it 4 stars, but given how I used a coupon, that skews things. If this was regular menu price, you're taking $34 with tax, plus tip if you have it delivered. I don't think this was worth $34 not because of the quantity, but because I've had better thai/asian for a bit less. We paid around $18 plus a $4 tip which was reasonable, but at regular menu price? I'd be pretty hesitant to order that same combo.
I know I'm stingy, but I'm just being honest. Maybe dining in woth their 'lunch specials' would be better. I would recommend trying this place still, but I'd also recommend more rice + more peanuts for the pad thai + a thicker sauce + maybe 10-15% cheaper.
