I give this restaurant 1 star not because the chicken, the rice, the soup is bad. On the contrary, the chicken is tender, the rice fragrant and lemon soup is tangy. 1 star because the person to makes the decision how much to charge is a cheater; either that or she is very bad in maths. You can see they have their menu on the walls telling the prices of the type of size and dishes. If I remember correctly for 1/4 of chicken the price was THB160 or 180. This was what we ordered the first time. My friend and I we both had 1 plate of 1/4 chicken and 2 bowls of rice each. Total bill came up to less than THB for 2 person. The following day, I had visitors from Vietnam and I decided to take them here for the chicken rice. Because I enjoyed the chicken and the rice so must, I decided to order 1 whole chicken. The is no 1 whole chicken price on the menu on the wall. But logic told me is 1/4 chicken is THB160/180, then 1 whole chicken would be 160/180 x 4 u003d 640/720. Guess how much she charged me for the whole chicken??? THB1400!!!!!!! I WAS STUNNED. We all are not Thai. I am Malaysian, one friend from Myanmar, 2 friends from Vietnam. I complained. This shop has clearly defined area/responsibility of work - people who only do table serve i.e. clean and service, bill lady who comes and work out what you ate and pass this bill to the cashier lady, cashier lady sitting in front near the soup and rice who adds up the total and pass it back to bill lady and then comes to you and tell you how much and you pay bill lady. When in dispute (like in my case) where nobody know how much to charge, then the Boss lady; the one chopping the chicken decides. In my case with her big chopper, she said her whole chicken cost me THB1200. I am not going to argue with a woman wielding a big chopper. I left in disgust. My visitors left in astonished silence. We all swear we will never come back to this shop ever again. PLUS there is another chicken rice shop just on the Sathu Pradit road near to this side road junction which has just as good chicken and rice and same lemony soup and DEFINITELY NOT THB1200/1400 for one whole chicken!!!!!
