| - A Thai friend and I decided to try this joint out since it received such good reviews. We went at around 5 pm expecting the dinner crowd but to our surprise there were only 7 people total in this place.
This place is so small that the person sitting the farthest away can hear your conversation. If you have any form of Claustrophobia, please stay away. The decor is very dark, but suitable for a wine/beer bar. This may be considered "hole in the wall", but its nothing close to that description. Its located at Rampart & Lake Mead which has huge plazas at all four corners and a lot of traffic.
The wait staff was 2 young White males who had the attitudes of, "what time is it, and when can I go home?" But what can u expect from kids who have no idea what customer service is about. The other was a young Asian female who took our order. She was very nice, but the language barrier came into play when asking questions.
The Food:
We had to try this "famous" spinach salad. Ummm people, its fried battered spinach with a salsa sauce that tastes like the dressing for papaya salad. Only in 'Merica can we take something healthy and ruin it. Think of potato chips and dip people, there is no "Salad".
My entree was Green Curry, vegan. I asked for more veggies since im not eating any expensive animal protein. That was not the case or (language barrier). It tasted like plastic and was basically a bowl of bamboo shoots. There was only 7 little pieces of bell pepper in it. Why am I paying 15$ for this again? When I asked the waitress about it, she got very defensive/annoyed, and did not even try to see my point of view. I also chose brown rice (which is an extra charge) but it was too mushy. (Used too much water cooking it).
My friend's entree was pad-Z-U, vegan, which was just as bad. Swamped in oil even after asking to use smallest amount of oil. Very little veggies that had no flavor. it was also too spicy for her, but then again they never asked.
They never asked us how spicy we wanted the dishes...wow seriously?
THEY ARE NOT VEGAN FRIENDLY!
We did find out Nittaya's Secret though! Its called charging a fortune for low quality bastardized Thai food...and then retire and laugh at all you suckers!
The prices are just silly...I dont mind paying 15$ for green Curry if everything is organic, but for a small bowl of spicy plastic, no thanks. I just wanna know why am I paying this price?
Oh the "Tapas" ripoff idea....yeah so their tapas (very small) portions are the same price as a normal size entree from any other asian foodie place. There is no reason to pay these prices.
WARNING: Although we voiced our concerns to the waitress and we only ate a few bites of each item, they never offered to to remove them from the bill (other than the mushy brown rice) which tells me they are all about the dollar. They just don't seem to care
Most other Thai takeout is way better than this place. Quality of food, service, and price.
