Me and a friend hit this place for lunch, elected to start with their tofu offering with a sweet and spicy sauce. This was unbelievable, worth coming back for by itself!!! Crispy outside, enough to crunch with a bite. Gooey inside. Sweet and spicy sauce all over. Absolute sensory overload, awesome!
He got the soup, I got the salad. Your typical Asian starters, and both were great. I really enjoyed the abundance of ginger in the salad.
Our meals were great! We will come back and try different things. Everything was cooked perfectly, it’s very apparent the kitchen crew is passionate about what they send out. Even down to the plating, amazing!
Only knocked the atmosphere since there were still Christmas decorations up. Also they apparently use the town tap water for everything, even the Thai tea my friend ordered was overwhelming with the tap water taste. We both had water with our lunch, which also was very apparent the town was midst treating their water……as it tasted like chemicals.
Small knocks though, this place is legit!
Now back to this joint- Food, particularly the beef noodle dish I ate, is indistinguishable from eating cardboard. I’ll stop there…
The hostess seemed disinterested when I tried to order my take out. Atmosphere was ok, nothing to comment on there.
Seriously- try Thai Statiin in Car Mill plaza across the street before you depart with your $20 at this place.
I had to throw away my beef- no flavor, dry, and the size of a Great Dane’s ears. See for yourself.
Wife had eggplant dish and they were also massive.
I think the servers are very kind and sweet but toward the end I felt like we were randomly rushed out and we were 2 hrs before close by then still with many still in the restaurant and not one server helping us, as they all work together so we were not holding someone from ending their shift..
Overall.. just really wish there was actual flavor. If I am getting Thai food, I am getting it for the rich flavors and spices. Many Americans do want this judging by reviews and I think that menus should not be watered down for people who don’t appreciate it, unless they request.
I don’t know WHAT day the beef I was served was cooked, but it wasn’t TOday. I ordered Mongolian Beef “hot” – there wasn’t even an attempt, a two on a ten scale. It wasn’t as tough as shoe leather, but it wasn’t far behind. They did serve a lot of it, tho, and my little dog was well pleased. Not so my dining partner, who ordered BBQ pig belly. Barbeque is a means of cooking, not just a color. There is no way what they were served had ever been near fire. And again, so tough, so hard to chew. I don’t know, maybe the word “Cham” means “tough” in Thai. It was served with a really beautiful presentation, a lil flower on top. Too bad there wasn’t any flavor on the inside.
Now, let’s talk service. Number one: some tables at Cham Thai get a fresh carafe of water, some do not. If you are at a table sans carafe, you will literally have to raise your voice in order to get water. No one will ever come to the table and just see how you’re doing. Don’t bother asking for chopsticks, just use the flatware on the table. You’ll be happier.
A fellow diner told us about the place a few months back, with just glowing reviews of the food. I don’t know what has happened since then, but what we were served today was underwhelming to say the least. There was absolutely nothing exceptional about anything we were served. There’s nothing I could say back to the person who recommended Cham Thai, other than “the restrooms were clean.”
The entire time we were there, we and another table were the only diners inside, while there were young people at three tables outside. Pick up of take out orders was near constant. I hope the other diners had a better experience than we did. Best of luck Cham Thai, try to do better.
All dishes came beautifully presented. So many dishes on the menu we want to come back to try. The staff were nice and friendly. They put their hearts into their creation. We definitely will come back!!
5⭐️ for me and my friends. We will be back for other good menu list that we already crave for.
VERY RECOMMEND
