| - Looking at all the wonderful reviews, I really don't want to give this place two stars, but it really wasn't better than two stars.
My love and I went in for their
Tom Yum Noodle: The Tom Yum broth was really delicious. However, on the menu, it is described with having BBQ pork, ground pork, fish balls, etc. The noodle came out with only ground pork. I told the server that there should be some BBQ pork in it without listing all the other things it was missing. He told me he would ask the chef. He came back out saying that "The Tom Yum noodle hasn't been as popular, so the chef took some of the ingredients out." Uh... we don't send food back, so we enjoyed this dish which lacked three of the things listed.
We also tried their
Thai BBQ Chicken and Sticky Rice: When in a steak house, order a steak. When in a place called Thai Grill, I figured I'd order barbecue, right? Oh, how I wish I could have taken that back and ordered something else. The chicken was moist, but the sauce was overly salty. I have an inkling that they didn't taste their food before sending it out. It was so salty that I only ate the chicken inside the skin. The sticky rice texture was perfect. The rice still has all the mineral flavors, although this also means it wasn't washed.
I normally don't rate after one visit, but both dishes were a fail and the server didn't really know the ingredients that should be in the food. We were expected to like our tom yum even without three of the other ingredients listed in it.
I don't think I'll be back to try this place. There is so much more that is good out there that I wouldn't want to take another risk. I would like to add as a benefit of the doubt that perhaps their menu was just too large, so they probably have some really great dishes that are ordered all the time. However, we didn't taste any. Thai Grill... Sigh Grill...
