Got the groupon - so we went to try it with some friends.
We arrived around 7:30 on a Saturday and the buffet was EMPTY. And I mean it. They told us they got wiped out from Groupon, and we scraped together whatever was left to make a meal (my company preferred to just eat since we were already there).
While the owner made our party of 4 a big plate of Pad Thai, we were also treated to a small plate of fried spring rolls. We asked for a few more and were told it would be an extra charge. How confusing. Is it a buffet or not? Also a little disappointing because we were willing to eat the scraps that were going to be thrown out (we were the only ones there), but they wouldn't make anything else. We had asked about a couple items pictured that were not out, and were denied. Seems like luck of the draw on what you get when you go.
The food was pretty good... really enjoyed the yellow and green curries. They weren't too spicy. The pad thai was decent - but we wished we had more variety. They did let us take the rest home, though.
Dessert was great. Even though they were out of true sticky rice, they whipped some up (same flavor) with Jasmine rice and it was good!
We helped ourselves to glasses of water, and once we did that - they were kept full by the owner's son.
The owner was sweet but conversation was a little awkward and kept us from enjoying our table conversation. I think that is part of the plan - slows you down a bit and you eat less.
Anyway, I would go back - but MUCH earlier than I normally eat to get fresh food. I also would probably not want to pay full price. It would be a great deal if the buffet had variety and was plentiful, but not when it's empty and you have to pay extra for additional items.
