Reviews
First I like the location; it’s on the main street and has a quaint feel to it. The service is also good enough as the owners are courteous.
However I do have two big problems with the food. It’s way too expensive for the quality and the portion you get. For example there is no lemongrass in the Tom Yum soup and flavor is off. The soup feels like “watered down,” and unfortunately that’s the theme for the flavors. The curry (red curry) is also very much watered down. I like my curry thick and flavorful but the curry here is watery and unsavory.
My other problem with the food is that the seafood especially the calamari rings are not fresh. A fresh calamari should be chewy without being soggy but the ones served have absolutely not chewiness at all which is a sign it’s not fresh (not spoiled just not fresh).
My biggest problem has to do with portion and price. With most dish over $24 with prawns it’s hard to see any value especially with the quality of the dish. The portions are small and the price is expensive so when the flavor is not up to par I just can’t say it’s worth going.
Overall I have a hard time recommending this place even if I like the interior and the service. My average cost per person (food only) is over $45 and each order of white rice is $4 which is just too high.
All the food is fresh and very well made. The rice was perfect and flavorful. The ambiance and vibe of the overall restaurant was warm, welcoming, and very clean. It is not casual dining but is casual in style. It was late and the owner took our order. He is a really nice guy.
As for the green curry I wanted so much, the steamy coconutty spicy rich chickeny broth with just a bit of heat was perfect. The only thing I would change is to eliminate the green beans but that’s purely my taste. My partner had the PatHed, which he loved.
Will we return? Absolutely, and I hope soon!
I am advocating for family owned restaurants everywhere when I ask diners to get up and go out to any of the local family owned restaurants instead of using those delivery services. Those services charge the customers many fees and then also charge the restaurants about 25%. They are killing these wonderful places.
Never forget how much we wanted the shutdown to end, why are we still eating on our couches?
Get out one night soon and try out Plearn Thai Palace if you want fresh homemade Thai food that will leave you feeling like your taste buds and tummy are thanking you.
Parang Curry, doesnt come with rice and very watered down. No depth of flavor, richness, was very bland, needs fish sauce or something for depth. I let them know the dish was missing some obvious needed thai flavors. This dish nearly $19. The poor flavor unacceptable at this price.
The restaurant is small in seating but seems to be popular for take outs.
Service: …
My favorite dishes are Thai basil shrimp fried rice, chicken pad thai, yellow chicken curry and of course the sticky mango rice.
If the lady was nice and treated me with respect, i wouldnt even have bothered to come and write this review just for the taste of the food. But if you want to keep a business, you need to show respect!
