I came here today for lunch with a group of 7 hungry coworkers. After learning that Linda was launched by the same owners of Salad King, I went in with pretty high expectations (I love Salad King!).
THE GOOD:
- I had the panang curry with crispy beef, and it was a hit - I'd give it 4/5 stars. My favourite part was the beef itself, which was tender, juicy and battered - and the light batter coating made for a nice crunch. I've never had crispy beef quite like this before. The curry came with rice and was full of flavour overall. It was $15 - I thought this was good value.
THE BAD:
- I understand that lunchtime on Friday is a busy time, but we were really disappointed with the service. We ordered our mains and waited over an hour for our food! The waitress did not come by at any point to apologize for the wait, either. Disappointing.
- The ambience inside and prices were not terrible, but average at best - comparable to other Thai restaurants in the city.
While I enjoyed my meal - particularly the battered beef in my curry - I don't think I would return to Linda again.
