I'm always a bit cautious when I come across Asian restaurants that try to serve multiple Asian cuisines - more often than not, they don't end up doing any of them really well.
From the Yelp reviews - there are a number of folks that really like this place - which drew me to it. When I entered, I immediately noted a lot of folks with Asian ancestry - which to my mind is a good sign - that the food is good enough that it attracts a fan base of folks from those countries of origin. But I also noticed an odd funky, unpleasant smell - my guess is that it is the carpeting. If I was running the restaurant, I rip out the carpet and replace it with some sort of durable tile that does not adsorb or emanate odors.
I came in for dinner - in a Thai kind of mood. I was curious to see what they had in the way of Thai offerings. Turns out - not as much as I had hoped for.
I immediately spotted the Tom Yum soup - they serve it with shrimp, which was fine. I was also looking for Som Tom (Papaya Salad) and Kee Mao Gai (Kai?) - basically Drunken Noodles. They offered neither. My first waitress did not understand what I was asking about - so they sent over someone more experienced - she advised they offered neither of those dishes.
So I went with the Tom Yum soup - I ordered a large, extra spicy. I asked how large a large was - turns out, it was waaayyyyy larger than I was expecting. They brought out this massive bowl full of soup (larger than a large bowl of Pho Ga for reference) - with a ladle, and a small cup to ladle the soup into. This bowl of soup would be something a group would order - and then share.
The soup was very average and bland. It was not extra spicy. I added some Sriracha sauce to each small bowl to give it a bit of zip. The shrimp in the soup were cooked perfectly - tender and not overdone. I have to say this is some of the most mediocre Som Tum I have ever eaten.
In any case, the service was good.
