Zero stars if I could. This place is a waste of space.
I went here on a random Tuesday evening with my wife as we live in the area and craved some Thai style Hot and Sour soup. The place is small and family managed, which would normally mean good service, or at least attempted good service. However, this place is far from normal, in fact, its as abnormal as it gets for a restaurant.
It has it's own communist set of rules as soon as you walk in, starting with "No strollers allowed", which doesn't really apply to me, but just found the tone of the note rude and unwelcoming. The man who works there, has asshole splashed all over his face, greets us with "ya? what?" instead of...shit, anything else that doesn't imply "what do you want?".
Anyway, got past that and was seated. The restaurant was totally empty, except for 1 other person finishing up in the table ahead of us. We get the menu and order 2 thai soups as that's what we came for, and the man says, "you need to order more", and points aggressively to the menu's fine print which says, and get this... "Minimum $10 per person before taxes"......wtf?
I told him nicely, "we just want to try your thai soup, its not dinner time, and plus your place is empty :)". He replies, "I dont care, you need to order more or leave". Totally f'in shocked by this experience, I have nothing to say but, "you know, your service is really lousy", to which he replies, "my service no lousy, your service lousy" and walks away. wtf?
My wife and I left.
I never experienced such nonsense at a restaurant in my life. Judging by some of the other comments (minus the fake 5 star ones, which they clearly put up lol), seems this asshole owner has an attitude problem and makes every ones experience horrible.
AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST.
We walked few steps over to Owl of Minerva. Great restaurant with awesome food and service. Actually, anything is better service than thai bistro. I give them 1 more year till they go out of business if they continue to treat customers like this.
