| - Heard about this used to be a very famous restaurant with high reputation. However, I had a very poor experience and felt very disappointed.
Knowing that crab with curry is one of their famous dishes, we asked for the price of it (which usually live crab is in current price). A lady server replied that it was like $41 for a dish (instead of calculating per pound, but that's ok), and then corrected that it should be like $45 or $46 but should be under $47... . We were like... what the heck?! We then just didn't bother to confirm the exact price but decided not to order it.
We finally ordered a few other dishes, which were all very popular and common ones. Very disappointingly (and surprisingly in a negative way), the pig neck meat was extremely overcooked (not burnt into charcoal type but very dry and chewy), as it was overly cooked by microwave oven! (I think almost everyone would have such an experience for how the food tastes by that mistake.) The roti (Indian style pancake) was as hard and dry as a dog's frisbee! The pad thai (or phat thai, a very famous and popular fried noodles in Thai style) only tasted tomato sauce but not spicy at all, and the noodles were in overly orange color which not supposed to be.
We told the server that how we thought about the dishes (which was not in serious complaining tone already), she defended that of course the pig neck meat was not cooked by microwave oven; and we should have consumed the roti as soon as possible right after being put on the table, for it will get dried out very easily. I really wanted to tell her that we actually did eat the roti right away (cuz my wife and I love roti very much that we couldn't wait for another second to eat it!) but it's hard and dry that we didn't feel like finishing the last piece so the server thought we have left the last piece cold and dried. We didn't bother to argue any further. But of course, we'll never go back again!
