| - To be more accurate, I would give it an overall 3 1/2 stars.
Since it was Friday night, I made a reservation just in case even though it was later in the evening. As you enter the restaurant, you can see that it has a nice decor and ambience. The main focus was the Thai Buddha statue and the seats were decorated with Thai style triangular cushions.
2 of us ordered the prix fixed menu for 39$ while my boyfriend ordered 2 appetizers (the chicken satay and crispy jumbo prawns) and the beef panang curry as main course. The prix fixed came with a platter of appetizers (containing some mango salad, 1crispy prawn, 1chicken skewer, and a crispy wonton wrapper), Divine Crispy Morning Glory paired with golden pumpkin soup, and we chose the Red Chicken Curry with Lychee as main entrée. In term of taste, the appetizers were good but nothing to be wowed about. I was surprised by the pumpkin soup. It has a nice hint of coconut milk in it. They were creative with the Chicken curry with lychee since it not something you can find in all Thai restaurants. I had a taste of the panang curry my boyfriend has ordered. It was good but I wouldn't say it's the best Thai food I've had.
I did like the ambience and settings of the restaurant. The waitress was very attentive, our glasses of water were never empty and whenever she sensed that we needed something, she would be right at our table. The only minus is that halfway through our meal, we could clearly hear Allen, the owner/manager (I'm not too sure which he was, maybe both), complain about an employee to other employees. He continued on his rant for the rest of our meal. It just felt awkward and as clients of the restaurants we don't need to be hearing the problems and drama he has. After all we are there to enjoy a meal between friends.
