| - My first impression of this place was really wonderful. The place is small yet comfortable, the hostess was super friendly on the phone and in person AND our server was a very friendly vegan! That last part was my favorite because it feels so rare to find other vegans and I was psyched to have a server fully understand how it feels to order food at a non vegan restaurant. Im sure I come off as needy and overly inquisitive when I go out to eat, so it's a relief to have a vegan take your order. They get it.
The server started by explaining the vegan options and how a majority of items can be veganized and I was so excited! I ordered the pad see ew with mixed veggies and steamed tofu - spicy level 2 out of 5 - and their spin off of a Thai Julip (can't remember the name but it was amazing)
For a 2, my pad see ew tasted more like a 0.. but the flavor was great! I never thought to inspect my food because, I mean, a vegan took my order so it will be totally vegan right? Low and behold, I find little bits of scrambled EGG in it after having eaten several bites. I was crushed.
After bringing it to the waiters attention, he was very upset to have let something like that happen and asked if he could have the cook remake the dish but at that point my appetite was gone. He took the dish off the bill and gave us a discount, as well as being very apologetic about the mistake.
By the time I got home, my stomach had turned and I was so sick my boyfriend called the restaurant. Neither of us expected that little bit of egg to cause me so much grief but I guess after not eating it for such a long time, my stomach was NOT cool with it. Management totally took care of this situation over the phone and I am really looking forward to giving Le Thai another chance.
It sucks for this to happen but I'm not going to give them a shitty review for making one error. We are human and at the end of the day, humans make errors.
