The 17% part is a bit on the annoying side but all others here at Siam Paragon charge it as well. 7% for the government and 10% to help pay employees. I know their rent here is not cheap and food and restaurant industry here is very very competitive. I ordered the Papaya Salad with Shrimps which was a bit on the strong side as you can see from the dark dressing in the plate. Chef put way too much of the dark stuff in there. The beef fried noodle were not too shabby. The beef I picked was the 300 Baht one. I am glad I picked this one and not the more expensive one because they use the same sauce for all. The soy sauce used was also on the stronger side. They used a cheaper and stronger tasting sauce in the fried noodles also. On a scale of 1-5 this place is a 3.5 star but we can’t give half stars here. The staff were friendly and smiled to me. I can see how some people though said that they were not friendly. I think that depends on the person whom served them and their mood at that time. Most of the people that complain about staff not being able to speak English most likely have a smartphone and I bet they use it quite often also as they used it to place a review here after. They could download Google Translate and type in what they want to tell them and I bet it will be right 8/10 times. They can then either show the staff what Google Translate said or hit the play button and let them hear it. 9/10 times the staff will look at you and smile after you show them or hit the play audio button of translation. Note to owner: If you sell premium beef I would use a premium sauce to go with it when stir frying beef noodles ????, also sauce/dressing in Som Tam (Papaya Salad ) is off too. I added picture to see.
