| - I've been here twice and basically think that the food is slightly above average, but definitely on the spendy side. They do get credit, however, for having a really decent vegan menu and for actually making the food hot. The scene to get in, however, is kind of ridiculous, especially when it is cold out. Luckily we were able to wait inside, but there were a whole lot of people waiting outside in line to put their names on the list.
Last time we came we had the crispy rice salad, a papaya salad and the pad phed pha (pork). The crispy rice salad was served cold, it was a little bit on the heavy side and it didn't have as much flavor or spice as it could have. It also didn't come with lettuce leaves to wrap it in. I was disappointed in this one. The papaya salad was a salad version of it. Not too sweet, and definitely not particularly fish saucy. It had a nice flavor and was one of the better bargains for only $8.00. The pad phed pha was kind of disappointing. The meat had a decent flavor but on the rice it didn't really carry over and ended up just making the rice greasy instead of really flavorful. I wouldn't order it again.
The atmosphere is hip and fun, but also a little crowded. Overall, I'd come back if I was in the neighborhood and the wait isn't horrendous, but definitely not really special.
