| - We walked in during Sunday lunch time during MLK weekend, and the relatively spacious restaurant was completely empty. We should've taken it as a sign to go somewhere else, but I insisted as reviews on Yelp were good...
We had wanted to get the veggie tofu soup in a hot pot, but the waitress refused saying they only have the hot pot for the Thai hot and sour soup, not accommodating at all.
DRINKS: The Thai iced tea is way too syrupy sweet as previous Yelper had mentioned. Coconut juice was not very fresh and a tad sour.
APPETIZERS: For a restaurant named Satay, the chicken satay is extremely DISAPPOINTING as the chicken was DRY and BURNT. The cucumbers looked like they have been pickled too long and turned color. When I mentioned that chicken satay was dry, waitress says it's because they use white meat. I've had white meat chicken before, and it's definitely not dry if you know how to cook it. The only good dish was the Roti bread, but you can also get a tasty one at Big Wong.
ENTREES: Chicken Laksa was not very flavorful just spicy. The chicken in there was also extremely tough and dry. Waitress again said it's because it's white meat and that our taste must be different since we are from LA! What kind of excuse is that?!
All the chicken were way too dry and chef special eggplants was oily and served lukewarm. The coconut rice is just ok nothing amazing. Something must've changed at this place because it is definitely NOT a 4 stars rating.
I had wanted to like this family restaurant, but the food is mediocre at best, and the staff does not care enough about customer satisfaction. Even though staff was courteous and brought water when needed, the repetitive excuses for bad tasting food says a lot about this restaurant in a strip mall.
