| - Rather than going to salad king, I decided to come here. You know, try something different.
The restaurant is on the second floor, but it has visible signage and decor so you shouldn't miss it.
My first impression when I stepped in was a large near-empty restaurant with outdated furniture and decor, and worst of all, no AC. It was really humid in here, and I was not being subtle about it. There was even a fruit fly buzzing around when I sat down. Shortly, however, I felt some AC coming our way, so the people managing the place must have heard my verbal complaints and did something about it I guess.
Washrooms are also just as humid, and you can see a handful of fruit flies all over the place.
It is quite disgusting for the most part, but I suppose if you were to take this as an authentic thai experience where you're dining in a restaurant in the middle of a humid tropical environment, then the flies might be normal? Try to be optimistic about it.
There are only two people working outside of the kitchen. They might be the owners, but there's definitely not a lot of staff. We placed our orders, and then waited for 20-25 minutes before the food finally arrived. Another table that was there before us also waited awhile before they received their items.
We had the Golden Chicken Curry along with Street Pad Thai. You can customize how spicy you want it, from 1-chili to 6-chilis. You could probably have more, but I didn't try.
It was a long wait, so automatically I'm expecting the food to be that much better since they're taking that much more time to prepare it. And it was quite tasty. The size of the pad thai is not bad, and came with both shrimp and chicken. The curry also had a lot of flavour, and the texture was not too watery.
Service here is generally very slow. They only have one lady taking orders, serving food, and taking the bill. You'd be better off just walking up to the front where the bar is because the guy is just standing around not doing much when no one's at the bar.
I would recommend just calling in and ordering your food to go, and picking it up half an hour later.
