Friday night, excited to catch a movie at Nitehawk with my boyfriend. Until we find out that the movie that we wanted to see, including any other movie we'd consider, were sold out. Plan B? Roam.
Approaching Bedford Ave. with 2 Thai spots on the same block, we went with Tai since it was open later than our other options. I went for shrimp pad Thai and the bf opted for some stir fry dish that I can't remember (fitting for this dish). But I DO remember his dish being quite questionable. It tasted like a cheap chinese food spot in Brooklyn trying to attempt Thai food. Nonetheless, it was edible so he ate most of it. My shrimp pad Thai actually wasn't bad. I ate it all with no hesitations.
I'm thinking this place is inconsistent with the quality of their dishes. Doesn't help that their inspection grade was pending. I'd go for Chai around the corner and down the block any day. Or try the other thai place next to this instead, but this is nothing special or memorable (in a great way).
I've been here a few times over the years and have always enjoyed my food. Most recently, I went with the tofu/veg coconut soup (tasty) and the tofu/veg pad see ew (also tasty). The service was really friendly and they even let me bring my bike inside since I had forgotten my lock. Very thoughtful! The ambiance is warm, casual, pretty, and a bit romantic. It's a good date spot but also good for friends.
Located on the bustling Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg, my friend and I popped in here for lunch on one cold afternoon. The inside decor is dark, wooden, and could be a nice spot for dinner. I ordered my favorite green curry, which comes with an egg roll and rice. While the egg roll was quite tasty (as with anything that's fried with vegetables), the curry was typical. Average and satisfied my veggie and coconut milk craving, not much to rave about. The portions were enough to fill you up and the service was very efficient. Then again, we were also the only patrons in the restaurant during a weekday 1pm.
According to other Yelpers, the taste is very average and tasteless, but with any Thai restaurant I need to get their Pad Thai before making a final decision. Perhaps the next time the weather is nice I will check out their back patio.
Nice Garden, Nice starters and delicious sangria.
I actually just shared some dim sum stuff, i think fried vegetables and chicken with some asian chili sauce and a tom kah gai, a spicy coconut soup with shrimp and vegetables (which wasn't really spicy, too bad) with my mum so I can't say if the real food is good or not. But the waiters are so friendly and helpful, I asked for some spicy sauce with chili for the tom kah gai and they offered me three different things. Thank you for a nice last evening.
I absolutely recommend the wine and the sangria, very delicious and fruity.
Loved it here!
This is one of those situations where we were hungry and the place looked nice and just walked right in without checking Yelp first. Big mistake.
First we were asked to sit down at a table that clearly still had someones jackets on the seats. After questioning this they directed us to another table to sit temporarily until the couple returned from the bathroom. They then asked us to switch back once they returned to collect their jackets.
We were then given menus and we both decided on a fairly reasonably priced lunch special. However, the wait to take the order was way to long. Just as we were discussing weather to leave and go someplace else our order was taken. Then the wait for the food came, which also seemed longer then it needed to be. As we looked around most others seemed to be in the same situation.
Finally the food arrived and again Tai Thai failed to deliver. Everything was lacking in flavor. Proteins in both of our dishes was only sparsely there. The meal was edible, but overall really didn't do much for me. I will not be back.
Note to self. Check Yelp before entering a restaurant.
They are lucky they have a fantastic location right on Bedford because this place was packed with quick turnover with people in and out and it's definitely not because of the food or service. My go-to is green curry with veggies/tofu which is standard Thai and hard to screw up but this was really lacking in flavor. There was some spiciness to it but other than that – no flavor – was the coconut milk watered down? Not enough garlic or ginger? Just very bland.
The service was lacking too. Had to change tables a few times because they didn't know where they wanted to sit us or if certain table were empty or not (the place isn't big so I'm not sure why they were confused). No friendly demeanor, they just want you in and out.
I pass this place every time I head to work and thought – why not try this place?
And I did. And I regret it. Let's start off with their drinks. I first ordered a margarita (which is my usual go-to drink when trying out a new place) and it taste like a mixture of lemon and …. the devil's piss (whatever that may taste like. but honestly, if the devil's piss was on the menu, people would enjoy that more. I promise). When I asked the server if the margarita was made with lime (since that's whats printed on the menu)…she said "no. its lime margarita!!!" (not sure if yelling is apart of her culture, but that bugged me out)….suuureee…a "lime margarita" that just so happened to be garnished with a…(drum roll)…lemon. I returned that and then ordered another drink: lychee martini. It wasn't that bad, but a little on the sweet side.
My entrée was the shrimp dish with peanut curry. The best thing in that dish was the shrimp – which wasn't all that great. it was just the best compared to everything else.
I am probably traumatized and wont try thai food out for a while….or ill just simply walk over the Sea or another authentic thai place. …either way…this place definitely sucked balls….or maybe lemons.
Nothig too fancy. The food was ok, but not great! Portion was large and the staff was nice.
