Very much like the Panda express of Thai food. It was "ok" but wouldn't come here again. For the amount of money they charge you're better off having quality Thai at Thai Spice.
I went in the establishment for the first time, I wanted to have Thai food and I had expectations. Unfortunately that didn't happen, I place a simple order of Basil and chicken with egg on top dish. I waited and waited and waited for over 23 min. I've seen people come and go I counted at least 6 people that offer after I ordered. Two times I checked with the cashier and all she said was 'is coming' after 20 min I asked for a refund, I could just sit back another 20 min. While my food was not insight. I DO NOT recommend this place, if you do come expect to wait 20 or more minutes. NOT a great experience.
This is only my 2nd review ever but I felt obligated. The green curry chicken and eggplant basil both were nearly inedible. They were extremely salty and I thought it was a joke at first . I raised this with the cashier and no option was given for chef to remake or refund offered. He seemed indifferent and just offered to throw my food away for me. I’ve heard good things but this experience was embarrassingly bad
