Reviews
Mind you, we arrived at ~7:15pm and the doors stated the operation closed around 9:30pm, so we did not arrive late and there had already been people inside – hence why my party initially thought it was our honest mistake that we entered by the wrong door as opposed to a deliberate and/or negligent choice by that staff member.
I ordered drunken noodles and my two other comrades had the calamari and pad Thai (see bill pictured). Although the flavor of my dish was fine, both the pad Thai and drunk noodles dishes were overcooked leaving the noodles too soft and slightly mushy. If you prefer them firmer, I guess you might have to request that, otherwise, they might end up too soft. My table’s server was separate from the individual who begrudgingly opened the door and he was kind, hence why I’ll give 2stars instead of 1 for service. If not for him, we certainly would’ve spent our money elsewhere.
Food took a little bit to arrive but it was hot when received, so I don’t necessarily have a complaint on the timeliness.
There is a 20% gratuity automatically added, so please be mindful of that. The menu does warn you of this!
You can park across the street in front of the restaurant and pay or stay for free depending on the hour in which you arrive.
Bathroom was clean!
First off, the food was very fresh, which is always a plus. The highlight for me was the Chicken Puff (Curry Puff) — it was delicious and came with duck sauce.
However, the Penang Curry was a letdown. It tasted watered down and really lacked the bold flavors I was hoping for. The chicken portion was decent, but it could definitely use more seasoning. The fried rice, on the other hand, was pretty good and saved the meal a bit.
Overall, I’d suggest the restaurant not cut corners on flavor. Freshness is great, but a punch of flavor is essential for a memorable meal. If you’re in the area, it might be worth a try, but don’t expect fireworks.
The service was just as impressive. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Everything felt smooth and effortless. This place is an absolute gem and I will definitely be coming back.
The drunken noodles were very standard, yet very delicious. My only suggestion is to make the noodles just a bit drier.
Overall, I would recommend going here.
Bought Thai Basil (w/ chicken and brown rice) and chicken puff pastry.
Everything was good. The rice pairs very well sauce. The sauce is spicy, but not overwhelming as other reviews suggested.
The chicken puff pastry was delicious.
I believe it’s run by the owners and they do not have HONEST BUSINESS PRACTICE.
If they have honest business practice, I am sure they will do a lot better.
I am yet to try the soups and I definitely want to go back to try those. The chive dumplings were yum – I loved how soft and light they were on the inside. The drunken noodles was excellent although I could have gone for a bit more spice. Was a bit disappointed with the corn fritters, probably because I wasn’t sure what to expect.
