| - I love Thai food. It is probably my most favorite genre of cuisine. This was just 'meh.' I had a taste of the crab rangoon, pad see yew, and tom kha soup. The crab rangoon was okay - probably the best of the three, but by no means something I'd come back for. The only worse crab rangoon I've had was from Sushi Boat, 2 days ago. ((It's been a bad weekend for me, if judging only by the quality of my crab rangoon.)) The wonton wrapper was crispy, so that's a plus...?
I only had one bit of the pad see yew - it was my husbands - but both he and I didn't really enjoy it. There was just no flavor. I can't really elaborate on more, though, since I had only one bite.
The tom kha. It's by far my favorite soup. I get it every chance I get. But this had several drawbacks. 1) tomatoes? Since when are there tomatoes in tom kha? 2) tofu. Okay, but I wish it had been chicken. I wasn't even asked. 3) there were little slivers of lemongrass that were un-chewable and kept getting stuck in my teeth. Yuck. The taste wasn't quite right - it was basically there, but I think it was missing creaminess - it seemed more a tomato/chicken broth base than a coconut milk/chicken broth base.
An okay atmosphere, but I'm used to the quaint coziness of most thai places (e.g. bangkok balcony, thai cuisine, smiling banana)...this wasn't quite the same.
I'm glad I tried it, but likely won't be returning.
