Very disappointing meal. The five of us chose here after strolling past, seeing that it was busy and that the reviews were pretty good. It was generally pretty disastrous.
The staff were all pleasant enough and the starters were eventually quite nice. When they first brought them over they dropped the bowl of french onion soup, smashing it and getting a bit on one of us. No problem really - they took all the starters away and brought out new ones about ten minutes later which were alright.
It all went wrong with the mains. We ordered a veggie massaman, chicken noodle soup, veggie noodle soup, chicken yellow curry and sweet and sour chicken. The massaman was okay - very watery and probably the least tasty one we've had in a month in Thailand, but still edible. No tofu either so it was just some vegetables in a watery sauce. The chicken noodle soup and yellow curry were also on the tasteless side, both likewise mostly made up of watery vegetables. The vegetarian noodle soup came out full of chicken initially so had to be sent back. After everyone else had had their mains for over five minutes there was no sign of the sweet and sour chicken, which we had to ask for, and when it did arrive it was cold. We sent that back too and when it eventually arrived hot, it wasn't great either and wasn't finished.
In total two dishes were sent back and one was spilt over us. Despite this there was very little by way of apology, and of course nothing taken off the bill. It was relatively busy but not full, and they had plenty of staff so it can't really be blamed on being too busy. For the low quality of the food it wasn't cheap, either, with the cheapest main course we had starting at 120b. All round a very disappointing meal and I wouldn't recommend eating here. If you're after good Thai food, a few nights before and for only a slightly higher price we had a fantastic meal at Baan Ya Jai, just down the road. It's a small menu of Thai dishes (no Australian steaks or pizzas), but the quality and taste of the food was superb.
