| - This is an update to my previous review where I had the chance to learn more about the restaurant, that gave me a better perspective, as well I sampled the dinner menu.
I had ordered chicken satay as one of the starters, and found the satay to be so incredibly mild I had to call our server over and enquire. Satay should have a spicy bite with a healthy heat and I asked why this was so mild. I was told they tamed the Thai dishes down because this was family restaurant, and kids would not be able to eat food with traditional spiciness.
Good point! that helped me position the review a little better. The chicken on the Chicken satay, was lacking flavor, lots of chicken but very bland. We also ordered the Thai chicken wings, good size but again pretty bland.
My friend ordered the Pad Thai, that's not a tough dish to cook, I ordered the Chicken Penang with chicken fried rice. It wasn't bad, again, I have to look past the authenticity and settle for family rated food. So, that being said, you certainly get lots, and the service although very busy, our service was excellent and thoughtful.
It was suggested I try the coconut ice. A whole, small coconut imported from Asia, with coconut in a coconut milk/cream concoction that was delicious, I highly recommend this.
Overall, if you are looking for plenty of family type Thai food with lots of leftovers, great service and modest prices, this is for you!
