I wish there was less than one star I could give. EXTREMELY disappointed. Especially because I am reading reviews about how awesome the food is. Unfortunately I was never able to experience this. I sat down with my friends and waited 10 minutes for a drink and then 25 minutes later we decided it was time to leave they didn't even ask us in those 25 minutes what we were eating. We never were able to order food. It was very ridiculous and almost makes me never want to go back.
If you need a Thai fix and you're close to Forest Ave on the Island, this is def the place to go. I had the Curry Puffs, Summer Rolls, Soft Shell Crab, Basil Noodle with Chicken, and Pad Thai w/ Chicken.
The curry puffs are amazing, however, I recommend eating them at the place. Do not ask for them to deliver. For some reason the last 3 orders I had, they tend to skimp out on the stuffing inside the puffs.
Summer rolls are delish too. Very fresh and very healthy. Everything is made to order. Soft Shell Crab was aright. I've had better. To me, it wasn't as fresh and tasted very fishy.
Basil Noodle with chicken was awesome too. Wasn't too happy with the slices of tomato. That was something I've never experienced before in Basil Noodle.
Also, I don't know if the owner is a woman, but she was a little rude to her customers. Didn't feel really welcome, and by the way she was acting, she sounded like she has enough customers where she really doesn't care how she treats people.
Very weird! This place could really have 5 stars all around, if it wasn't for the service. Don't know why I'm not giving it a 3 star rating instead.
Went to this place because of the reviews on yelp. I love thai food so I was expecting a lot. I was disappointed.
My fiance and I order the food to go. Everyone said this place was cheap, but I think it is only cheap during lunch time. During dinner, it is actually $$. We order the Tom Yum Koong soup, Som tum salad, pad thai, yellow curry, and forest thai fried rice.
My favorite was the fried rice and the soup. The fried rice was with beef and basil. Perfect blend of seasonings, but I would have liked the beef to have been cut in smaller pieces. The carrots were finely cut so they did not overtake the rice. That was a very good thing. The soup was very good, both hot and sour. I was expecting a lot worse, but they surprised me. The only thing was that it was mainly broth and a few pieces of shrimp. I ordered two individual portions because they did not have a large and that came out to 8 bucks. 8 bucks for broth is not worth it.
The salad was salty and had this weird aftertaste to it. I don't know if the papaya was fresh or if it was the dressing, but I did not finish it after two bites. What a waste. The pad thai was bland, there was not much flavor and all the other stuff in the dish were overtaking the noodles. It felt more like a stir fry. The same went for the yellow curry. When I opened up the case, I saw mainly vegetables and meat. I didn't know that it was curry until I lifted up the stuff to see what was underneath. There was nothing spectacular about the sauce.
I think the main reason I am giving them a 3 is because they messed up our order. We came there to order the food and waited 20 minutes for it. The lady gave us our food and we left to get out of the cold weather. When we got home, we were missing the salad and the pad thai, but had an additional rice plate. We lived about three miles away so I wasn't going to go back and get it. I called and they acknowledged that they forgot the salad, but did not know about the pad thai. I told the lady I wanted it delivered, but when I told her our address, she said that she may not be able to do it. After talking to the driver, she said she could, but it would take an hour. Since it was snowing and raining outside, I told her just deliver it because I was not willing to go back.
The moral of this story is check your food order before you leave the place.
Cute little place right on Forest across from Cookie Jar (which has some killer cookies) parking is pretty easy on the street. It was kind of crowded when we got there, wasn't the best decor but it had to be good with the crowd in there.
Got our menus right away and they had some good stuff to try out. I of course had to order the spring rolls, I am obsessed with them and especially as a appetizer, we also tried the steamed shrimp dumplings which were good too.
I got the Pad Lard Na which actually doesn't even sound good but it was really good it was like a flat thick noodle with chicken and vegetables, I liked it and I actually had left overs.
You can't go wrong with the prices, pretty cheap and good food and nice size too. The service is decent and the food is quick. I also seen people trying out the Thai ice-tea which I would like to try next time and came in a cute mason jar.
