| - The outside doesn't look very appealing, as it is in a little strip mall. The interior is much better, with lots of cultural decorations.
We arrived on a Friday afternoon for some lunch, and the place was basically empty - there was one other table. I think during the 2 hours that we were there, I saw about 5 tables coming in.
Although I found the prices reasonable when I looked at the menu, I immediately thought that it was way overpriced when I saw the food come out. I ordered a lunch special with curry and coconut rice ($12 for the lunch special with coconut rice VS $11 for regular steamed rice) - it was a little portion (half a bowl maybe?) of coconut rice with a side of curry on a plate. For $12, I expected much more.
As for the quality of the food... I ordered the mas sa man curry, which I have had at many other Thai restaurants. I found that the base of the curry was ok but the potatoes in the curry were way too salty. I also thought the coconut rice tasted very plain, you could barely taste the coconut.
Also, we had a bigger party and all of our foods came out separately. It was quite annoying as the people who first received the food was about 10-15min before the last person received their food. Nobody came to ask us if the food was ok while we were eating, but once people started finishing, they kept coming back to take the empty plates (which I don't mind) but kept asking us if we were done or not. I felt like they were rushing us to eat quickly and leave, even though the place wasn't busy.
Overall, I don't think I would come back here. Portions are tiny, prices are expensive, location is ok and service was also ok. I don't understand how this place has a decent rating on urbanspoon and yelp, as I have had much better Thai food elsewhere.
