  • As a Thai food aficionado, and with this being so close to my work, I REALLY wanted to like this place more than I do. I've never dined in, always gotten take out, and the service both on the phone and at the counter has always been great. But the food isn't great. I've gotten food here numerous times, and I'm just not impressed. One thing that irks me is that the lunch specials are not that special. I've gotten the Pad King Sod a couple times, and always end up kicking myself for not spending the extra dollar and getting the full-sized meal. Same with the curry. Tiny portions, 4 pieces of chicken. It's just not worth saving the dollar or so. The flavour is ok, but not the best I've had. I've never had the spice level where I want it. Elsewhere, if I order something 'medium', I get it with a little kick. Here, if I order it medium it's like they just waved the spice over it, without actually getting any into the food. My meal today is what finally prompted me to write a review. I ordered the Pad See Iew with chicken, medium hot. What I expect with Pad See Iew: al dente noodles in a darker soy-based sauce, with broccoli and/or spinach or something bok choy-esque. What I got was just not up to par. So light it was almost yellow, noodles soft to the point of being mushy. Not only was there no spice, there really wasn't any flavour. The veggies consisted of broccoli, carrot slices, and long ribbon/noodle like carrots and beets, which unfortunately turned parts of my food an unappetising pink. Pad see iew should never be pink. It should never be light coloured. It should have flavour. This was just one more disappointment, and the reason I don't think I'll be back. I'm beginning to think that the people who gave this place 4-5 stars, calling it "authentic Thai" wouldn't know "authentic Thai" if it bit them. For me, this place serves up watered down, Americanised versions of iconic Thai dishes. I'd have given it 2 stars if not for the excellent service I always get.
