| - My wife and I went here last night at about 7pm. The place was eerily dead. There were probably 4 other people in the entire place. I know the saying, "nobody likes to eat in an empty restaurant", but we didn't care and decided to give this place a try.
For many reasons, I really really really do not enjoy giving sub-par reviews so I will try to be gentle and concentrate on what I liked sprinkled with a few things that could be improved upon.
If I had to rate a place only on decor, bathrooms and stickiness of my table; this place would not do very well. Good thing I was here for the food.
Our waiter was very fast and friendly. He was a very soft spoken gentlemen and it was difficult to understand him at times. He was fast to refill waters and diet cokes so I really can't complain. Here is what we ordered:
*Thai Spring Rolls - these were excellent as was the dipping sauce which had a nice kick to it. I would order these again.
*Tom Yum Goong - this had a nice kick and a nice flavor. However, I would have liked more "stuff" in it. It came with some mushrooms and shrimp, but could have used a bit more. I would order this again but some of their other soups looked good as well.
*Steak & Chicken with Spicy Thai Lemon Garlic Sauce - this was ok. It was just some strips of cheap beef and chicken with some sauce. The chicken was good but the beef was just eh. I probably wouldn't order this again.
*Garlic and Peppers - this was just ok too. My wife ordered it with tofu instead of chicken, but we got the chicken anyway. We didn't send it back because I don't like doing that and maybe this was a "sign" to try the chicken because it is amazing. Anyway, the dish had good flavor but it was eh. My wife would probably order this again, but I wouldn't.
For the heath conscious, each of our entrees were not covered in tons of sauce so that's a plus. However, the menu said they had brown rice, but we were told they didn't have any so that was a negative.
I haven't had much Thai food in my day, but I think this place is more Chinese than Thai. Perhaps we just didn't order the right things? Judging by the reviews on here it looks like I should have done my homework before my visit to be sure I ordered properly.
I wouldn't rush back here but I won't cross it off my list just yet because I don't think I ordered what I should have. However, as far as Thai food goes in my book, it is Thai Basil all the way.
