Today I learned just how deep being mediocre can be. It seemed everything here was exactly that, to such a degree any further usage of the word "mediocre" will be lacking.
The food is bland but cheap, so it's ok. The service is present but not attentive. The place is clean but not inviting or enjoyable. It's certainly a cheap lunch spot with ample seating, but I can't imagine thinking that this would be the place to go for Thai food. Just head north and have a better experience!
The soup set the tone. Cucumber and egg in a clear broth, through and through devoid of any real flavor. The yellow curry I had was unremarkable in flavor or texture, not very spicy even though it was 5*. The pad kee mao was also wholly unremarkable.
In fact, the only thing remarkable about the place is how consistently they were unremarkable in all categories.
With the price, it's hard to complain. If it were a dollar more, I'd give it two stars. I'm still tempted to give it two stars just to offset the rating, but three is more fair. I can't imagine I'll return, as I have to drive past several other good options on the way there.
