Honestly, this place did not live up to the hype. Quite disappointed .
Firstly, I was meeting up with a friend at the restaurant and I arrived a few minutes early so I wanted to go ahead and take a seat, but was then told that all parties must arrive...fair enough, but then upon my friends arrival, I noticed the man sitting near us was alone and not taking any orders. Strange right? 20 minutes or so later, 2 more parties arrive. Wow...I thought "all parties must arrive?!" my friend and I were very confused here. Definitely not a good feeling when I was denied seating until friend arrived. (The place was not packed that day by the way)
Secondly, the food. We tried the Pad gra gow and Khao soi in "Medium" spiciness.
The pad gra gow was alright but nothing to go "crazy" for. I feel like I can make something like that at home but better... the flavour was missing something...after couple taste it got bland and couldn't finish it. The khao soi was a bit disappointing. There were a lot of noodles and not much ingredients. I managed to find the chicken but the chicken didn't have much flavour to it. The soup itself lacked in broth. It was like curry soup but flavour lacked "umami" (aka flavour). Again, after couple sips it just got bland and boring.
Waitress was cordial. It was our first time there so we were hoping we get a bit more explanation about what all the hype is about, what's popular etc.
Oh and the Thai iced tea was WAY TOO SWEET.
Overall, nothing we order stood out. No "wow" factor. We had a lot of leftovers and didn't really want to take any home...
I did not try the pad Thai yet but I've tried better Thai food elsewhere (and for cheaper price) so who knows if I'll come back...
