Reviews
We came into the dining room and the lighting was dismal. White and pale and stark. There was not much on the walls. Very plain and gave the idea that there was so much missing. The floor was filthy throughout the room and all furniture looked like it had settled in for years.. just unmoved, dirty, dated and shabby. We stood there for a while till the lady behind the counter yelled at us to sit wherever we wanted.
So I walked to the front where I spied a stack of menus and we picked a seat after that. The chair wobbled scarily so I switched to another chair.
My husband and I love Thai food and we paroosed the short menu. Usually a short menu means that they specialize in a few dishes that they make well. Usually. Here was a short menu with some lunch specials and entrees. We picked a noodle dish because it seemed safest. A version of Pad Se Ewe but called something a little different. I dont recall.
We waited for about 15 minutes for the food to finally come out. It was piled high. a good healthy portion. It smelled… interesting.
Please see the picture. Instead of nice hand cut noodles we were looking sat something that resembled fettucine noodles. The plate was all one color.. a pale brown color and then there was the smell… it just wasn’t right. Tasting it the noodles were overcooked and a weird texture. The chicken I ordered on mine was…. think match-stick sized cuts of chicken. too small to be satisfying a piece at a time. Dry and seemingly the only thing on that plate that “felt” right or had any flavor what so ever. So I picked through and nibbled on the tiny chicken pieces. I glanced at my husband now and then and he had stopped eating and pout his fork down. This was a disaster. Tasteless, dry, wrong texture… Awful.
We both got up, paid for the food with tip and left the restaurant. It is the only time in my entire life where the food was so offensive and wrong that we both just left it piled high on the plate and walked away. Never have I experienced anything like this. This was a new level of BAD.
I’m no expert and I don’t claim to be. But as a person who likes authentic cultural foods, this was a huge miss. I was slightly offended at the use of the word “Authentic” in the restaurants name after being confronted with such a n atrocity on a plate. Nothing about this was authentic Thai. Maybe once upon a time? But that was way before the quality of ingredients went down the toilet.
We will not be back. I do not recommend this place at all. Dirty restaurant, uninspired, slightly offensive food in a poor atmosphere from the start to the end.
Best wishes.
Good selection of thai/filipino dishes on their menu.
My daughter loves the siomai!
But thai tea is too sweet for me, need to mix some water.
