Bland Thai food?!

by widgets1 at Citysearch

Ordered the red curry with pineapple and chicken. There wasn't very much chicken in the dish, which actually wasn't a bad thing, since it was dark meat and they had left the fatty skin on it.. Not very appetizing. Also had the pad thai with shrimp, which was very bland. Have eaten here on several occassions, and have never been very impressed by the food. Probaby won't go back. On the upside, the service is okay, and the meals are delivered quickly.

Poor experience!!! Not a great value for your money - Amarin is better

Well, I cannot recommend this restaurant. Amarin is definitely better. I don't know what the positive reviews are about this place. Must be from people associated with the business or from customers that they "like." Just a guess, either way, wish we had a good experience, but didn't. Would not recommend this place for mulitple number of reasons: food, ambience, service.

Went there on a weekend and should have realized, Amarin was filled and this place hardly had anyone there. Ordered tom kar gai soup, it was not very warm and the fish tasted a bit off. Also ordered a meal with duck and there was hardly any to be found in there, mostly mushrooms. When this was mentioned they claimed that they emptied one "bag" of duck, disgusting!

No, keep your distance or they need new management/ownership. Oh yeah and it was cold in there, especially in the bathroom area. There was a distinct draft. Bring a coat. The waitress, although nice forgot things that we ordered and when reminded, did not even as much say "excuse me" sorry, what have you.

• Pros: None but if you must have Thai (even bad Thai and worse service) and Amarin a few doors down is too full and you don't want to wait
• Cons: The food is simply not as good as Amarin a few doors down, and certainly not the service.
