| - ordered 3 lunch specials, eggplant, basil rice w/chicken and panang curry beef.
egg rolls seemed stale and had corn? really corn niblets? amen the culinary courage but not really appreciated.
soup was just a fish sauce in chicken broth with cilantro and a slice of chicken broth. wayyyyy to salty with no balance of tradition. very small 6oz serving. (I may be exxagarating on size)
basil fried rice was bland, chicken was flavorless, overall taste/flavor/freshness is poor. onions were oily yucko and zucchini and broccoli in thai fried rice???? really?
eggplant with chicken was very good. Overall blended, even flavor profile on sauce and ingredients.
panang curry beef comes in with broccoli and zucchini? really? that's disturbs the overall flavor texture of the meal to no end. also way too many carrots in the serving. the serving is already very small but insult to injury is almost cracking my teeth on small piece of bone in the curry.
yeah, I know I should have taken a picture.
I let the server know but might as well be speaking kurdish. she didn't do shit and looked at me like I was stupid. I am stupid for driving 45 miles one way to try this place with my family.
the only positive in the curry was slight detection of actual lime leaves and Thai basil in the curry sauce.
positive was the beef was tender and tasty, too bad for the stray bone. also wish there might have been some potato in the panang curry or just a hint more of lime leaves and Thai basil.
Overall service was very slow for 20% table coverage if that.
I really want to give a 3 for food quality, taste, appearance and freshness but the bland fried rice, extra fillers like zucchini and broccoli, bone in the panang and combined with small soup and entree servings sizes rate a solid 2.
Please all you regulars tell me I am wrong or just visited on an off day.
