| - I don't understand all the positive reviews for this place. I mean, the reviews are what initially tempted me to go here. I love Thai food. I love cheap food. Seemed like a win-win. ALAS...no.
Yes, this place is cheap. $6 will get you a small styrofoam container (they call this "medium" size) filled with two items of your choosing. A noodle/rice dish and a protein. I went with pad thai with lemongrass chicken. The "pad thai" was literally just rice noodles with a sauce that tastes 100% like Heinz ketchup. No bean sprouts, no egg, no tofu, no peanuts, nothing. There was nothing in it except rice noodles and ketchup. I'm sorry, but since when is that considered pad thai?
The lemongrass chicken was a large helping of onion chunks and carrots with some small, dry pieces of chicken that mostly tasted like disappointment and the giant chunks of onions they garnished.
All in all, the food here sucks. This area has crappy food in general, so I was hopeful that this place would have food that was at least somewhat tasty. But sadly, it did not.
Now that I've actually eaten there, the glowing reviews are even more puzzling to me. Have all the people giving this place 5 stars never had Thai food anywhere else?
