Reviews
This is so weird because I could’ve sworn I had posted reviews for this place before but Google Maps have the tendency to lose some of my old reviews.
Definitely not the first time eating at this location and definitely won’t be the last.
– thai tea is sometimes sweet and sometimes too plain but I still think overall it’s a good one
– tomyum noodle comes with a very big bowl and tastes sour more than spicy
– tomyum fried rice is soooo good! tastes like a local one for phet mal level
– phad thai is good
– larb tastes like local
– the banana and gelato is a MUST!!!
Immediately when I sat down I noticed the table had not been cleaned. The table had been fully set (wine glasses and everything) on a dirty surface. I pointed it out to my friend and she agreed it was gross. We were seated towards the front of the restaurant so the afternoon light was shining in which made it look even worse! The table was streaky with dried rice and remnants of other food stuck on the surface (we should have left then)…..I told a server and she wiped part of the table but it was dried on there so she didn’t get it all, and the other side of the table she didn’t wipe remained dirty…..
My friend ordered the red curry. She asked what spice level it came with and the sever said medium but if it was too spicy she could bring us extra coconut milk. I ordered Pad Thai and asked for extra bean sprouts. The server said I wouldn’t need extra bean sprouts as it already came with lots of bean sprouts.
Our food came and the red curry was too spicy for my friend, so I asked for extra coconut milk which the server brought. After mixing the pad Thai (with the bean sprouts on top) I still wanted more so I asked the server and she said there might be an extra charge. I asked how much and she said she was not sure, she said there will definitely be an extra charge for the coconut milk because “it’s expensive” but the bean sprouts might be free. She came back and confirmed it is $2 for extra coconut milk and $2 for extra for bean sprouts. I pointed out she did not tell us there would be an extra charge for the coconut milk. After deliberating she said again that “it is expensive” but she won’t charge us for it this time. I said okay and asked again for extra bean sprouts and consented to the extra charge.
At the end of the meal I asked for the bills. She really messed up the bills, but the most significant mistake was splitting the dishes instead of billing us for the dishes each of us individually ordered and customized. The $5 cost difference between our two orders was overall insignificant and I didn’t want to point it out, and wait for it to be fixed so we paid and left.
Overall my experience was terrible, my friend agreed the table was dirty (and not re-cleaned properly), the server did not communicate extra charges to us while trying to argue coconut milk is very expensive (it’s really not and neither are bean sprouts), she didn’t confirm how we wanted to be billed (and made wrong assumptions), and the food was mediocre (small portion of red curry and overly sweet pad Thai). I will not be back and I will not recommend Baan Thai to anyone. If you read this, be warned and go somewhere else!
If you are hungry and don’t mind spicy food, give this place a try.
