| - Went to this place because it got 4.5 stars. Everything looked really great in the pictures. The venue is nice and quaint with good sized booths flanking the walls. One side was more open, the other side had booths with drapes and dividers between each booth going most of the way up the wall. This made it feel a little more private. It was also nice and quiet. I hate it when these places think they are some sort of club. This cafe clearly knows it's place, playing cheesy Asian covers of pop songs, low, in the background, and not blasting out of overworked cheap speakers. I could actually hear.
The food was just OK. I go the braised beef combo. The soup and little peanut dressing salad were standard, but good. The Braised Beef was flavorful, but really fatty. This should have been expected for that dish, so I can't fault them for that. The broccoli was super raw though, it looked and felt like it came right out of the earth, just then.
They didn't have Thai iced coffee, only Thai Iced tea. The waiter looked confused when I asked for Thai Iced Coffee, but he offered to make it, and if I didn't like it, it would be free. It wasn't Thai Iced coffee, but it was good. If I could give this 3.5 due to the coffee and the waiter I would. Venue and waiter get a 4. I just can't give the place a 4 due to the food. My friend that her smoothie was more slushy ice than smooth, and devoid of the fruit flavor - mango, NO!
