| - I come to town about once a month, and this restaurant is close to my hotel. I read the reviews and they seemed pretty positive, so I figured I would give it a try.
My first impression when I walked into the restaurant was how small it was. Generally this is a good sign, but not in this case. When I walked in, I was ignored. I walked straight back to the counter to try to get a take out order and was never acknowledged. I asked for a take out menu, and I seemed like a bother.
Regardless, I now had a taste for Thai, and decided to wait it out. I ordered Thai Dumplings, Lad Na, and Massaman Curry. Remember, this was all take out.
I waited the 15 minutes, picked up my order, and headed back to my hotel. Here is what I found. The Thai dumplings looked different than what I am used to. The were more yellow, than white, and they sat in a bed of coarsely chopped cucumbers. I bit into the first dumpling after dipping it into the provided sweet sauce, and I got a whiff of something. Undeterred, I went in for second bite since I had not eaten all day. Well this time I chewed and smelled and tasted. Something was off. I think the shrimp in the dumpling turned. Wow. My first experience with this restaurant, and the last. When I have to spit food out...
Maybe I was there on a bad night. Maybe I just ordered the one product that had been left out. Maybe this was the last time I go back? It certainly is.
