You would think a given at restaurants would be to get orders right. I've been here twice now (once dining in, another delivery) and both times Bow Thai has managed to get my order wrong. Do I ever dare go once more with "3 times a charm" in mind?
Pros:
Food is prepared relatively quick
Prices are pretty fair compared to the rest of the market
Cons:
Can't seem to get orders correct
Food is nothing special, pretty forgettable.
I can't stress the getting orders right part. I don't know if there's miscommunication between waitress and cook staff or what not, but it's not a hard process right? This should be something every place gets right.
The first time we dined in, one of the orders was a green curry. It came out a red curry. Being there, it was easy to just let them know it was supposed to be green and they made the change for us. The second time though, I ordered delivery. It was a peanut lamb dish and a spicy beef one as well. Delivery was pretty prompt and within 45 minutes IRCC. However, I was amazed to find that I got a spicy beef and a spicy lamb. I have no idea what they were thinking.. Why would they think someone would order two dishes of the same variety like that? Being it was a delivery, the driver was long gone before we even found out. My roommate and I just didn't want to bother with it in the end and just ate what we had.
I have read other reviews on this place online and getting orders wrong seems to be commonplace with the restaurant. Pretty rediculous really..
The food itself is nothing special. Nothing jumps out at you and you always have the I've had better feeling. It's not bad, but you won't be telling your friends about it anytime soon. Not getting what you want half the time doesn't help either.
I know I'm completely bashing this place right now, but orders should be done correctly honestly. This should be a given. The food is made pretty quickly and nothing seems overpriced at all. It's just the bad outweighs the good by a lot here. I really don't think I'll take a chance on the third try myself either.
