| - Went in because I saw a deal on Feedback App (which I got intro'd to at a Yelp Elite Event) for some Pad Thai & was super hungry. Unfortunately, I was to be disappointed by what I got from this place both in terms of service and in terms of food.
I ordered and it said you could pick up the food any time between given hours so I went in to pick up my food. The place was empty when I walked in...to the point that I had to wait a few seconds before a staff member came out from the back room. Because of this, I asked if I could sit down and just eat my food there. They said no issues, I could sit wherever I wanted. I sat down at the long table to wait the (expected) 20 minutes it would take them to make the pad thai.
Finally, the pad thai came out all wrapped to go (even though they knew I intended to eat there). I excitedly unpacked it. I read other people's reviews of this place's pad thai on Yelp and they said it had a strong ketchup taste, I could not agree more. To be honest, the pad thai there is terrible. I should have listened to the other Yelpers, and you should too.
When I realized just how bad this pad thai was, I looked around for something to try to help the flavor. I was hoping for some Sriracha or similar but couldn't find anything in the dining area and the staff member had disappeared into the back room again, much to the chagrin of the delivery app person who was there waiting to make a pickup. Finally, the staff member appeared again. I could tell that any request for seasoning without some "greasing of the palms" would be met with anything but enthusiasm so I first asked if I could buy a soda. After buying the soda, I suddenly "remembered" I wanted some seasonings. First, the employee tried handing me a bottle of Sriracha which had clearly seen better days and had a meager amount of sauce left in its bottom which had changed color in the time it had been sitting there unused and crusted over. I asked for a fresh bottle and they went to get one without too much grumbling. I doused the pad thai in sriracha and with its magical powers it was able to make the food mostly edible and I finished it because I was so hungry to begin with.
Never going back in here again unless they make some SERIOUS changes. If I were you, I would find my pad thai elsewhere.
