| - My experience was obviously very different than the other reviewers! I was so excited to learn that this place was opening in Blawnox, which hasn't seen any Asian restaurants for at least 10 years. The first time I tried to order something it was early evening on a Friday. As I approached it, a lady flew out the door, locked it, and started crossing the street to her car. I yelled "hey, aren't you open??" She gestured something then got in her car an left. I suspect that she was going on a delivery because she had a bag, but it was weird and turned me off.
Two nights ago, I was craving something non-Americana, so I decided to give it another try. Me and my boyfriend ordered 3 appetizers: chicken satay, fried shrimp rolls, and fresh (cold) spring rolls. The only entree we ordered was the "Thai2go Noodles." The order came to $35 (!!!), and I specifically remember thinking when I was walking home with my bag "gee, this sure doesn't FEEL like $35 worth of food!"
And I was right. We paid $6-7 for each appetizer, but the portion size was pathetic! There were only 4 chicken satay...and they were about the size of a Bic pen. The shrimp rolls were just eh - they're basically a medium sized shrimp stretched long, rolled in some spring roll dough, then fried. Bland. And again, there were only a few of them. Neither of these appetizers was a good value! However, the fresh spring roll was good and the portion size was good, too. ASK FOR EXTRA PEANUT SAUCE. They only gave me enough for like 2 rolls.
The entree was good. Not great, but good.
Lastly, there's a sign on their counter and on their menus that if you order $30 worth of stuff, you're supposed to get some food item free (I don't recall what it is.) - of course we did NOT get that "free" item.
I'll probably go back at some point, but it's going to have to wait until after I've won the lottery or gotten a raise! NOT A GOOD VALUE!
