My first instinct was to leave. \n\nBut we were hungry and said whatever. This is how hot Thailand feels like.. we laughed. :)\n\nPrior to deciding on the restaurant we did a quick check on the mobile yelp app. Reviews for the place appeared to be mixed. Some really enjoyed it and some didn't dig it all. Upon entering the place we saw a trip advisor sticker on the door too. Bonus we thought..\n\nWe decided on two dishes to share along with a couple of bowls of rice. \n\nFirst dish; \n\nPanang Curry (chicken) - dry, rich and think with small amounts of coconut milk different from Red curry where that is more saucy. \n\nSecond dish; \n\nChicken with Peanut Sauce - sliced chicken breast cooked in a rich peanut sauce accompanyed with bamboo shoots and long beans. \n\n\n\nOkay without getting into a long story here are the points. \n\n\nThe taste is more Chinese than Thai. \n\nThe lime soda was nice as they used freshly squeezed limes. \n\nHeard some spanish guitar music in the background which was wierd. Thai music would be a more suitable choice.\n\nWay too liberal with bamboo shoots in the dishes, would like to see them add more beans and peppers as noted in the menu description. \n\nInitial taste Bland. I couldn't really describe the food at first bite. We looked at each other for reaction and agreed there was no particular sweetness, sour, spicy or salty taste.. felt off as if the dishes were missing ingredients. \n\nStrong fish sauce taste/smell in the Panang Curry -- had not had else where. Not good.\n\nPeanuts could be fresher, kind of tasted rancid. \n\nPositives: the decor - nice bambo entrance way, paintings on the wall leatherbound menus, and subtle touches like serving utensils were wooden, fork and spoon were huge but twist detailing . \n\nThis was an honest critique. I hope the restaurant can take the suggestions and improve in delivering the rest of the dining experience. Looks and ambiance only go so far. I'm here for the food too."^^ . "1"^^ . "1"^^ .
