| - I go easily twice a month and am in love with most of the food, it's close to home as well, adding convenience to it's charm! I always order the monster which is a grilled shrimp salad, one that puts me in withdrawal after a week of not having it..
Stay away from the scallop tamarind dish and the steamed dumplings, two that I can recall that aren't stars on the menu.. Soo my issues come from the service, and yes I know that service may be lacking in a Thai restaurant.. 5 years ago! I think it's an area that definitely needs attention and if their food wasn't as amazing as it is I wouldn't set foot in there again.
Tonight the server didn't greet us just walked up with a miserable expression saying "something to drink?", when did we give up on saying welcome, or how are you this evening or nice to see you again.. He took our order by pulling a piece of register paper out of his pocket, unwrinkled it and asked what we would like, leading to a deep sigh once I ordered two courses. Mind you it's 8:45pm and the door says open until 10pm.
We finish eating our amazing dinner minus the steamed dumplings, not that they knew of us not liking them since no one asked us if our meal was good at any point. Then that wonderful server came over dropped the check and reluctantly offered to box up some left over pineapple curry and rice. I never asked for the check so when he came back I said "can we not get dessert?" He said "the kitchen closed at 9:45" and I followed with "the door says you close at 10" it was 9:48.. his response "that's what time the restaurant closes"..
I was annoyed at this point and suggested they adjust their sign, or at least give their guests the option to order at 9:45.. Why let sales walk out the door? I spent $50 on Thai food and undoubtably would have purchased two desserts! Unfortunately we will probably skip this restaurant next time I crave Thai food and start a search for my next favorite. It's a shame because the food really is delicious.
