Well, we ordered our favorite standbys to test their quality before trying other menu items. 2 our of 5 items were good...
The Spring Rolls were very dry and not flavorful. I didn't even see any meat. Well, we each took a bite and gave the rest to our dog (he's on a fresh food diet so it's all good).
The Tom Kha... inedible. Too salty! I couldn't taste the lemongrass, lime, or mushrooms. Nothing, just pure salt. I only had two sips before throwing it away. My fiance couldn't stomach it either. This was very disappointing and a waste of money. Thus, the search for the perfect Tom Kha in Chicago continues.
The Crab Rangoons came free with out order... (yay American Chinese from a Thai restaurant!), but they were surprisingly very good. Is that fresh imitation crab I taste... why yes it is! Delicious!
Massaman Curry... Not very flavorful and I've never had massaman with RED potatoes WITH skins still on the chunks. The skins give a bitter taste and really did not go with the curry at all.
Pad Thai... my fiance's favorite. Well, this was the only thing that was very good from what we had ordered. Most of all, it was fresh! Nothing soggy or oily. Very well done.
I thought I was saving money ($5) by ordering from this place instead of Thai Avenue, but nope... ended up wasting money and food. At least the delivery guy was very friendly.
This has to be one of the best Thai restaurants I've been to. Service is generally pretty quick and I've never waited for a seat. Definitely cheaper than some other places in Chicago, and the food is just as good if not better. You can easily get a full meal here for under $10, and there's almost always food left over for tomorrow.
Review Source:Their food was always a little oily, but that's to be expected. They had okayish flavor and it was served hot and fast. Despite this, I'm never going back.
While dining there last christmas I bit down and found gravel in my food. Not just in the mouthful I was eating, but all through the leafy greens in my dish. Apparently washing the veggies is something for which I'm supposed to pay extra?
After pulling out a rock that cracked my molar the waitress demanded to see it. She then took it to the chef.
I was offered no apologies, no substitutions, and was still required to pay for my meal.
I will never be returning to this restaurant.
