| - The previous reviewer was dead on. The following is exactly what happened to me last night: "you play the "ok, we're going to eat at the next restaurant that appears on our left" game, and Friendly Thai ends up being that place because you're too far away from Salad King."
Too true. My pale, tasteless-but-somehow-sweet pad thai came without lime or cilantro - only a few lusterless slivers of green onion, a little grouping of bean sprouts, and a stingy teaspoon of peanuts. I squeezed every drop out of the lime wedge from my water glass, and it still didn't taste like much. Maybe they didn't use enough ketchup? More lime was cheerfully brought, but it still didn't taste like pad thai. I'm not sure a tamarind was in the area code while the noodles were being prepared.
My husband's green curry was better, but not great.
It's too bad. It's a fun place. I liked the crowd and the casual feel, and our server was helpful, chill, and prompt. I loved that she was waiting tables in a lumberjack shirt and cutoffs with tights underneath. Unfortunately, the food will keep me away.
