| - We came here on the recommendation of a friend (who actually recommended the other location, but we were near here). When we walked up to the door and heard Yeezy I knew that it wasn't going after an authentic thai experience, but I'm open to modern thai as well so we went in. The restaurant is dark with an industrial feel which actually fit the music pretty well. It wasn't particularly crowded, but had the feel of a place trying to be a scene (perhaps more likely at night, but we were here for lunch).
We promptly were given a menu to look over. Truth is it has a very stripped down menu, again nothing wrong with that if you do everything well. We ordered a mango salad, pad ke mao, and a red curry with vegetables.
Mango salad: Had no heat, no real acidic kick, mostly just a plate of diced mango with fish sauce and a few tomatoes (no peanuts either). I like mango and I didn't hate this, but it wasn't anything special and I'd never order it again.
Pad ke mao (tofu) - We ordered this dish medium and it really had no heat (though the partner seems to disagree and says it had some). It came with thin pad thai noodles instead of the wide rice noodles that you usually get. It also didn't have the strong basil taste that I usually love about this dish. It was ok, but nothing great.
Red curry with vegetables - The curry itself was tasty, though a bit thin. It didn't really stick to the vegetables and this was made worse by the shape of the serving dish. It was in a very long flat dish so there was nothing submerged and it was hard to actually scoop the curry onto your plate or onto your rice. The veggies were slightly underdone. Squash was a bit off (hard or mealy, depending on which of us you believe), and the cauliflower slightly underdone. Nice flavor on the curry sauce but it just didn't work.
After being attentive to start the waitress promptly ignored us after we ordered. (Our section actually closed down in the middle of our meal so I think this was part of it). Our dishes came out at different times and our curry, which came out much later, was not super hot when it did arrive. It was also difficult to flag down our check to leave.
Finally, the prices were high and the portions were small. We easily killed off $40 worth of food for lunch and it wasn't worth that. It definitely has an ambiance, but I wouldn't be willing to pay for it again.
