| - My first and last time eating at Thai Original BBQ. Oooooh, how dramatic! I bet you can't wait to see what disaster I incurred! Well, none. I got the right food that I ordered, it was close enough to being available at the time promised, and the service and price were fine.
No, the reason I won't be back is that compared to all of the other quality Thai offerings Vegas has to offer, it simply wasn't good enough. I will be the first to admit that Thai BBQ is suffering the affect of being the ~21st Thai restaurant I've tried here in Las Vegas, many of which are outstanding in every aspect. I can't help but compare any new Thai restaurant to class acts such as Weera Thai or Prommares, neither of which is exceptionally far from this location of Thai BBQ. All that being said, let's get to it:
I called in my order of a Chili Chicken lunch special because it seemed closest to what I normally order when I get Thai and also because of the lovely photo uploaded of the same dish in the photos here. No seriously, look at this beautiful dish: http://s3-media2.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/IBxLi-C_it0Rm-m6N0TQDg/l.jpg I was told it'd be ready in 15 minutes and I arrived probably a few minutes beyond that.
Upon entering it took a few minutes for the solitary server to get my order. It wasn't an extremely long wait and she did seem very busy waiting actual tables so it didn't bother me. If she was on her phone using snapchat or tumblr or sextor or whatever new app the kids use nowadays, I'd be a little more bothered by this.
Got back to my office and was a little disappointed in a few things. 1) That pic I posted above? Mine looked nothing like that. The chicken was chopped up sloppily and not beautifully ground up as you see above. It was like going to Wendy's and expecting to get that 99 cent burger that can barely fit in Wendy's mouth on the commercial, only to receive one that your pet hamster can gobble in one bite. 2) No eggroll. As a matter of fact, there was nothing but the chicken dish and the rice. Now nothing extra was promised or advertised, but it seems pretty customary for most Thai restaurants to provide SOMETHING with the lunch special besides the discount. If anything it adds a little value that I could have used after being charged $2 for my brown rice upgrade.
The food that WAS provided, tasted okay, but not great. The rice seemed a little mushier than I prefer, and as I mentioned before the chicken was pretty haphazardly chopped up.
Sorry Thai BBQ, that ultimately winds up being worth 2 stars. If you'd have gotten to me a year ago, you probably would have eeked out a 3. Where's Doc Brown when you need him?
