| - First time there, got takeout...ordered yellow curry w steamed tofu & pad thai w shrimp. Got home to find the shrimp was barely cooked, it was still translucent! The yellow curry was very tasty, but only has potatoes...it really could've used some vegetables added, perhaps some carrots, zucchini. I got it w steamed tofu and it was all just too yellow, really needed some color! The portion sizes lacked for the $27 we spent.
I called and spoke w Joy about the shrimp problem, she was very nice and apologetic. She said I could return at a later date for a pad Thai shrimp replacement, which I did several days later. Even though Joy didn't request it, I brought back what was left of the dish to show the uncooked shrimp. Joy wasn't there, but the woman I gave the food to started counting the shrimp! She said "there's 5 here, we give 8", I couldn't believe it! I said we threw out the ones that made it on our plates. Her response should've been "We're so sorry we gave you obviously uncooked shrimp!", that's the only acceptable response. When they brought the replacement meal out, it was almost insulting how they made a big deal to uncover it saying the cook wanted to make sure I was happy with it. I simply said "yes, I'm happy when my food is cooked". It was as if I was not believed the shrimp was uncooked, even though I gave them the raw shrimp back. That was last month.
Today I craved some yellow curry. I called and believe I got the same woman who counts shrimp. She's hard to understand. I asked for yellow curry, vegetarian. Pretty sure she said they could put broccoli and carrots and I asked if there would be any extra charge. She said no. I asked for tofu, she said that's $2 more. Then she said the broccoli and carrots would be $2 also. So this little dish was now about $15, all because I wanted a green vegetable. I was annoyed, guess they must not want customers. I told her to forget it. Too bad, this place is close by. I'll be looking for another Thai place.
