I have always liked Thai food, but after House of Siam, I am an absolute fan! My friend and I were let out early (woo!) from class at SJSU so we decided to walk around downtown to find some dinner. We agreed that we were both in the mood for something spicy, so we walked on in to this restaurant.
We arrived at about 5pm, and it was entirely empty. We were a bit hesitant because we thought it might have been empty because of the quality of the food. However, we didn't feel like walking anymore so we decided to stay. The waiter led us to a small table for two. I really enjoyed the décor of this restaurant. I've never been to Thailand, but I swear I felt like I was there. It doesn't look cheap, and it has a certain romantic and elegant vibe.
My friend and I were really hungry so we quickly started ordering. What's great about this restaurant is that they have a really great and extensive vegetarian menu. I love meat, but I was okay with ordering all vegetarian dishes for my friend. These flavor-packed dishes definitely didn't make me miss meat! They were all so good! They really got the textures and spices of these dishes just right. We ordered our usual: curry, soup, and an entrée. What I loved most about this restaurant was unexpected. Normally, when we ask for spicy, we get less than mild. Having had these prior experiences at other Thai restaurant, we asked them to make it as spicy as possible without completely burning our tongues... and they did! It was exactly the level of spiciness we were hoping for, and for that I am making this my go-to Thai restaurant. :)
Also, the restaurant started to get really busy by the time we left, so I am glad we didn't base our decision entirely on that! :)
Good ambiance, super-nice family restaurant. I challenge everybody to have dinner at the tables where you have to seat on your legs without cheating. I tried ... I swear ... but I couldn't.
The food was good, specially one appetizer made with lettuce to combine with peanuts, chilly, lime, etc ... Really amazing.
The rest is a mix-n-match of plates, that are tasty, but I always feel sort of disappointed when I see different meats prepared the same way and presented and different plates. With that you can build a menu of 100 options, but ... well ... not that varied.
Overall a good nice-dinner place, not a fancy-dinner place.
A group of 11 went here for an early dinner.
The first thing I noticed was the decor, ambiance and the lowered tables for some cross-legged actions. Don't forget to wear a clean pair o' socks cuz you're taking off the shoes, yo.
Can't sit cross legged for too long a period of time? No problem.. the tables are deceiving. Your legs actually dangle underneath the table.
OVERVIEW:
We ordered about 6 dishes, a soup, and an appetizer - Medium spice. You know portions are typically small for Thai food, so I thought we were getting 2 of each but was pleasantly suprised by the dish size. Everyone was able to sample all the dishes and walked out complacent.
Medium spice tasted mild to me, and I have a relatively low tolerance for spice, so I actually expected more of a kick and was mildly disappointed.
Nothing stood out to me as spectacular that I would ever think to come back for, food-wise. On the flip side, nothing was so terrible that I could criticize it for either.
DETAILS:
Spring rolls looked fresh and hot. I was kinda fried-food out so I didn't try this.
Tom Yum Gai soup - Probably one of the best I've had. Perfect blend of sweet, spicy and sour.
Garlic Pork - Interesting. It was lightly crisp on the outside, nice and tender on the inside. Not overly chewy. Probably one of my favorites of the evening.
Yellow Curry Chicken. Ok
Curry Seafood... I tried the sauce and this was YUM!
Beef & Potato [curry?]. Eh. Ok.
Pad Thai. Kinda sweet. On the sticky side.
Pad See-Yew. Full of flavor, although presentation could use some work.
COME AGAIN?
Only if I'm invited. How can I pass up an opportunity to dine without shoes (and try new dishes)?
HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!!!
I was so excited when we decided to go here on a friday night. We made the reservation (even though the lady on the phone kept saying "no problem" ) and got there on time. As soon as we reached we asked to be seated at their floor seating. So, far it was all good we liked the ambiance etc. but then about 15 mins past and nobody came to our table....a little bit later a lady came to take our order so we ordered an appetizer and drinks and waited about 1/2 an hr for them. Sensing that the service is a little slow we ordered our food as soon as the lady got our appetizer. And here is what we didn't expect.......we finished our appetizer reminded the lady for our food (who said it will be out shortly) and about 1 hour later we still had no food......we had been setting in the restaurant for about 2 hours total and they started turning their main lights on in preparation of closing, this I found to be particularly rude because there about 8-10 other customers still in the restaurant.
Me and my husband were quite upset at this point and complained to the manager and asked him to cancel our order. Even though he apologized he did not say what had happened and why could they not bring our food out in time?? He just said "it is my fault" and did not accept the payment for our appetizer and 2 drinks. Our experience at this place was really bad and and I will probably not go here again.....
For those who are wondering....we ended up eating and enjoying awesome food across the street at P.F. Chang's :)

I recommend this place if you are in downtown palo alto and are feeling like some thai food. This is a good place to go in the winter since they have the best curry noodle soup I've ever had. It's rice noodles, tofu, chicken, bean sprouts, green onion, all in a curry soup base. It's slightly spicy, but not too spicy. Like I said, it's a great winter dish.
Their other food; however, is similar to other thai places I've been so nothing too special there. I still recommend to go just for the noodle soup.
Had dinner here ages ago and remember the ambiance being one of a kind. You can sit with your shoes off in these nice booth type tables. Great menu options as always with Thai food restaurants it seems, it maybe better to come here when there is less of a crowd, you will probably get much better service.
People seems to think the service is lacking here, but it's probably just because they are so damn busy on the weekends and Friday... I would probably like to come back here, but it does seems to be quite the place for an intimate date or something.
Had dinner here for the first time. We ordered Pineapple Shrimp Rice (BOMB!!!) and Angry Beef (bland) and ate family style.
Service was fine, they checked on us and our drinks enough to keep us satisfied.
I order some food to go for dude: Seafood dumplings and Angry Chicken (since the beef was so boring I thought they'd actually put some spice into this one).
He loved the dumplings and found the Angry Chicken just okay.
All in all I paid over $60 for this, which I found to be a bit expensive. But then again, I didn't really check the prices before ordering either.
I will def. be back for that Pineapple Shrimp Rice...it's just so good!!

I love the seats!!!!! I guess this is where my rating goes haha. But seriously, the ambience is nice and the location. There's a parking garage across the street from it (YOU CAN VALIDATE PARKING). It's weird that there were babies playing on the floor (but since it's a family business, I understand).
There are 2 parts to the restaurant: regular seats (table and chair) or thai-style seats where you remove your shoes and put them in their shoe shelf and sit indian style on these awesome colored pillows. BUT you don't have to cramp up your legs while you sit because directly beneath the table is a hole where you can dangle your leg and sit properly.
My friend and I met up with 2 people here but we were super full from lunch (we came around 9:50pm, 10 minutes before the kitchen closed). We were only planning on sharing an appetizer but the 2 people we met up with ordered SO MUCH!
1. pineapple fried rice: delicious! not too greasy and not too chunky with chicken -- just the right amount. the cutest part was that it was served inside a half-carved pineapple!
2. prawns get dressed (actual name of appetizer): prawns wrapped in eggroll wrapper with some noodles and other stuff. SO GOOD! I love the taste of the noodles; somewhat sweet-ish with a hint of tang.
3. stuffed chicken: OMGGG! the stuffed part (inside part) seemed similar to the prawns one but better! There was definitely a hint of sweetness with the noodles and a bit of tang.
4. pork dish with green beans and bell peppers: pretty tasty.
5. either angry chicken (picked solely because of the name) or honey chicken: good!! it came with this spicy/herby sauce you can put on the chicken which definitely added more flavor.
I had a good experience here and a good time. I heard the pad thai is UH-MAZING! so i would definitely come back to try that.
Favorite for Thai. A bit intimate, very close to other tables, definately not romantic, but the food is well worth it.
Some of my college friends came out for me this past weekend to celebrate my birthday and before they left for the weekend, we wanted to have one last goodbye dinner. My friend told us to meet down in Morgan Hill because there was this awesome Thai place that she had just gone to the night before (and wanted to go again) .
I drive up to this unsuspecting little house that turns out to be a cozy little restaurant inside. We're greeted by the friendly waiters who remember my friend & her cousin from the night before so they give us the royal treatment.
Thai food is thai food but this place makes it so well! I don't know what it is but I really enjoyed it here. Our server Pong (yes, like Ping Pong) was extremely friendly and attentive with us the whole night, the prices are great, the portions aren't huge but they are just enough.
We ordered the satay egg rolls, yellow curry, pad thai, pad see ew and pineapple fried rice to share amongst 5 hungry girls. It was my first time trying yellow curry and it was DELICIOUS. Add it on top of brown rice and you've got yourself a winner. I've had the rest of the entrees before but this place is a little different. Oh yeah, let's not forget the complimentary dessert that they hooked us up with. Fried bananas with some fruit and vanilla ice cream. YUM!
I don't know what it was but Thai food here was just more enjoyable. Maybe it's the service? Maybe it was because I was good friends? Even though Morgan Hill is out of the way for most people in the Bay Area, I will definitely make it a point to eat here if I'm ever in the area visiting my friend again.

Pros:
Good Thai Food
OK Prices
Nice Decor
Good Location
Cons:
Poor Service
Good Thai food in a very nice atmosphere. We enjoy eating here before an event downtown, such as at the SJ Rep theater. It's also a good place to bring guests because the atmosphere is much nicer than the more casual Thai joints.
Enjoyed the beef waterfall salad and noodle dishes. Kinda fun sitting on the low seats.
Nice setting, constantly delivers good food and service at a reasonable price. I have been eating at this restaurant for a number of years now. The food and service are always good. I mostly eat here for lunch as I just never think to come downtown for food at night. Highly recommend for Thai food lovers in the area.
We had the choice of eating Thai style which was pretty authentic and a first for me and my BF! For those of you who are not familiar whith Thai style seating you are required to take your shoes off before entering an eatin-zone with cushions. The idea is you are sitting on the floor but no worries for you long-legged freaks like me, there is a secret space underneath the table for your appendages! So if you feel like playing footsie with your sweetheart no one will see!!!
The downside about not being able to see your feet in the crevase is dropping a piece of curried beef down there and then accidentalyl stepping in it bare foot. Yuck! :P
The foood..... Pretty delicious Mussamen Beef Curry. Should have ordered Thai spicy instead of Gringo spicy.
Shrimp Dressed Up appetizer.. a little on the dry side but yummy once dipped in sweet sauce.
Pork Pad Kee Maw/// savory with a kick. Vegetables and noodles tasted very fresh.
Overall a 3.5. I still prefer Krung Thai over on Winchester for my Thai fix though.
People thought this was:
Definitely some of the best Thai I have had since coming to San Jose.
Their pineapple curry (actually served in a pineapple) is amazing. Their Basil chicken is also very good. I would however not suggest the Pad Thai- while everything else I have had here is pretty good their Pad Thai is slightly rubbery and does not have much taste to it.
The service is not the best so if you are on a time constraint be prepared to flag your server down.
Finally, their lunch special is great- for the price of 10-12 you get soup, entree (usually enough to take back half), two small appetizers, and salad.
I like the food here, especially the vegetable curry dish. The thai iced tea is delicious. The environment is nice-well decorated with carved sculptures and beautiful artwork.
Unfortunately the cleanliness of the kitchen and manners leave much to be desired. I have given this place 4 chances to redeem itself, and each time is something new.
1st visit: Delicious food. But there was a metal shaving in it from the scrubbers they use to clean dishes.
2nd visit: Food was given to the table next to us instead of our table. They began eating it, then the waitress came around and realized it was not their food. She picked it up and brought it straight to us, and told us they did not touch it, when infact they had (the table even admitted it)
3rd visit: Yummy food, except for the multiple long hairs buried within the sauce. Kind of disgusting.
4th visit: Food was really dry, ordered a new dish, and after eating it got sick later on. (They were watching us from the corner of the restaurant when we began eating the second plate) Im suspicious.
EACH time I go there its something new. I don't think I'll be giving them any more chances.
People thought this was:
I am from Thailand (Siam). This is what Thai restaurants and food are about. The food is typical Thai restaurant food, not like mom's cooking but it's the best I have had in the bay area.
The service should get 10 Stars!!!! The service has been good every single time I have been to this restaurant. I have been eating at House of Siam for over ten years.
Came here completely plastered last night, I don't even remember if I tipped the server correctly. Tell me how my frozen yogurt run turned into a 2 hour booze fest at the San Jose Bar and Grill? 2 fruity drinks, 2 vodka bombs, a henny shot, and 2 rounds of beer pong led our belligerent hungry asses across the street to House of Siam. All before 8pm too...I set a new record.
I opted to sit in the left side of the restaurant with the more traditional thai style of sitting, barefoot on mats. I managed to order this soup I don't even remember what the name was, the Pad Kee Mao, and the basil garlic chicken. The soup was way too sweet and coconutty...fail The Pao Kee Mao was delicious, and spicy just how I remembered it, when I used to work in downtown San Jose. The basil garlic chicken was also packed with flavor.
In the middle of the meal I had to use the restroom, when I walked back I noticed my boyfriend's shoes not in the cubby holes so I was like "You didn't put your shoes in the hole" My bf then gives me an attitude "How am I supposed to know, you're the asian" LOL so we got into a little stupid drunken argument. So I give the place 4 stars for the server putting up with us and the food was pretty good, I can judge that because I had leftovers the next day and it was quite tasty!

Yelp says it best with the two-star description: Meh. I have experienced better, and frequently.
I came in yesterday with a friend and ordered the following:
1) Thai iced tea: Waaaay too sweet. It made my teeth ache.
2) Vegetarian spring rolls: nicely fried, but they were WAY too peppery. Looking at them, the overuse of pepper was evident and it was all I could taste.
3) Vegetarian red curry: The vegetables were plentiful and the curry itself was flavorful. Best dish of the meal, but not something I would crave enough to return.
4) Brown rice: Nicely cooked.
5) Vegetarian Pad Thai: Biggest disappointment of the meal. I came in craving Pad Thai and was really looking forward to it. However, It was among the worst I have ever had! I had a forkful and then had to stop, lest House of Siam kill my adoration for the dish.
Portions large but quality is lacking. Also, I felt like it was slightly overpriced, especially considering the caliber of food.
I'll stick to Bangkok Spoon in Mountain View.
Lordy. This is one of the reasons why I'm taking a vacation to CA next week. LOL. It's so sad that I haven't been here in forever, but everything here is so delicious. My favs automatically include the curry chicken (in yellow, red or green), Pad thai, and with loads of white rice. Service is a bit slow, in placing orders to getting the bill. But still. Parking is the typical San Jose garage, but convienently located In the heart of downtown.
Ugh I miss this place.
People thought this was:
It's got good ambiance going on.
1) Seating is similar to Japanese style because you take off your shoes and stick your legs into the ground. You cannot have even one person more than the table allots because that person(s) will spill over to the side and have to sit Indian style... that person was me.
2) Jazz music by two guys (piano and bass); atypical but appreciated.
3) Typical Thai restaurant decor with bright colors and gold everywhere.
We ordered stuffed chicken wings, satay skewers, Massamun curry, pad thai, pad see ew, yellow curry, chicken cashew, another peanut-based beef curry (forgot the exact name), and lots of steamed rice.
Most of the sauces and flavors were decent. But I tasted one too many chewy and tough pieces of beef and chicken. Perhaps I got bad pieces but some in our party agreed and some disagreed. We came with about twenty people and the staff was very accommodating. They split us up into 3-4 tabs to make ordering paying easier. Food came out fast. It is a bit pricey -- entrees range from $11-16 -- but I'm assuming that this restaurant is in a hot spot being in Downtown SJ.
People thought this was:
This place was, as Yelp puts it, A-OK. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't spectacular. It was meh, average, mediocre.
The food was alright. We got a lot of food for the lunch special, but I felt that I paid a premium for... I don't know. I honestly can't tell what I paid more for, but I paid more for it. There you go.
The service was bizarre. I felt as though the staff didn't quite know what to do with us. We were the only people in the restaurant at the time, but the staff seemed perplexed.
Overall, the experience was fine, but I wouldn't necessarily go back here. I'd try a different Thai place first.
We came here last night (Sunday night) after walking around trying to decide on something to eat. I liked the ambiance and decor. Although my fiance and kept wanting to go sit on the floor. That would've been fun.
The food was great. We got the vegetarian spring rolls, garlic chicken, sweet basil beef, and pineapple fried rice. I spent a lot of the time trying to dig out the pineapple shell that was rice was served in...it was sooo sweet and juicy.
The only reason I'm not giving this place a higher rating is because the service was sooo slow. We got there around 630. Didn't get to put our drink and food orders in for about 20 mins. Waited what seemed like forever for our food and drinks...and then waited around for another 20-30 mins for our check! I think they were short staffed or something, but c'mon now! We didn't get out of there til after 8.
I would go again for the food, but I'm not sure I'd want to wait around that much again. By the time the food came I wasn't hungry anymore...and that's a shame b/c what I was able to eat was delicious.
People thought this was:
I am a huge fan of Thai cuisine and this place never disappoints!
Great presentation and the price is right for what you get-atmosphere and location is A+
Came here for a home girl's graduation lunch. We had a very large group and ordered about 3 of whatever we wanted to eat.
We ordered:
Yellow Curry
Masaman Curry
Fried Rice
some type of soup
Honey Pork
Pad Thai
Thai Ice Tea
and others that I can't remember
They were all pretty good. I'm not sure how to describe them all. It was good, not amazing, but in small portions compared to my favorite thai place in riverside.
I love the atmosphere. There is one section where you must take your shoes off to eat there. Pretty cool!
Location = 20/25 If you live in downtown, it is a good location, but if you live in the suburbs... may be a hassle to get here.
Price= 10/25 For the portions and food taste, the price is expensive. Expect to pay 10 for a medium portion of your food. this may be okay if you are eating with just two people. If you are eating with 4 people and getting 4 items, you may only get a few bites of each item
Service= 10/25 kind of typical of asian restaruants in that you have to probably raise your hand like you are in grade school to get attention. However, just like most thai restuarants, i think they are good with refilling water.
Food= 10/25 the food is kind of horrible for thai food. I think after eating krung thai, and having a preference for krung thai, this place is flavorless.
Overall 50/100= 50 percent
yum, yum, yum...this is one of my two favorite Thai restaurants in San Jose....the other being Blue Mango.
You can always judge a Thai restaurant by their Pad Thai Noodles and these are some of the best I've had! I've tried the Green chicken curry and Panang Prawns....in a red sauce, so damn good!! Egg rolls are perfect, one order had 6 rolls if I remember correctly...(I gobbled them up pretty quickly)
I can't remember the name of a mango-shrimp dish I had...it was sooooo good as well. Overall this place is a must if your looking for Thai!!
Meh. I've experienced better.
I went here last week while working in San Jo and found the food to be sub-par. Nothing really special about this place. The decor is pretty enough and would be fun to have a large party/group in, but the food was in want of TLC from the cook staff. I ordered a prawn dish and thai iced tea. The prawn dish consisted of a few ordinary pieces of shrimp and a multitude of mushrooms. Waayyy too many mushrooms for my taste. I spent the majority of my lunch trying to avoid the mushrooms while in search of crunchier vegetation-which it seriously lacked. Plus, I ordered medium spicy and had an explosion of fire in my mouth when I started eating. I said MEDIUM!!! If you prefer to have raw spice poured over your food, then go here. The thai iced tea was nothing to scream over either-certainly not sweet enough to my taste. I give this place a resounding "meh". I won't be going back
For lunch, this place isn't bad. The prices are decent, and they give you plenty of food. They don't, however, make things spicy enough. I got the chicken pad thai very spicy, and I couldn't taste any bite to it. The sauces are right at the table though, so you can add your own hot sauce AND peanuts. Yummy. The decor seems pretty fancy, and I'd be interested to see how this place is at night.
People thought this was:
Stopped by since it was close to the comedy club we were going to that night. We ordered the Honey Chicken and the Pineapple Fried Rice in addition to my Thai Iced Tea. The Thai tea was really good, strong flavors and the right amount of cream. The pineapple fried rice was fairly decent, however, we never did get a single Chinese sausage as stated in the menu. Now I only mention this since that's my bf's favorite, so he was disappointed. The honey chicken was phenomenal! Tender, juicy and the right amount of sweetness. I personally didn't need any sauce to add to it, however, my bf has a huge sweet tooth so he added the sweet chilli sauce.
Overall it was pretty good. Though $13 for each dish.. mmm I've better for cheaper.
This place is good. The ambiance, here, is great. Beautiful decorations.
We had the Chicken Pad Thai, just went in for a quick lunch and it was our first time there. The service is okay, but the food definitely made up for it. I would love to come back here again to try more items they have.
Harmonious
Orchestra
Unique decor
Super slow service
Escape to PitaPit?
Ordered: Tom Kha, Angry Beef, Pad Thai, and veggie curry
Four shared
Service still sucked
Is it just me?
Afraid to order dessert
Mad dash for the door
4 stars for ambiance, 3 stars for food, 1 star for horrible, horrible service
Love the food here, perfect for when I'm craving Thai food. One of the features I value most in the places I eat is overall cleanliness, which this place provides. Very clean, and service is prompt and mostly friendly.
Ordered several things from here after having eaten here at least a couple times and have not been disappointed yet. I've tried all of the curries, which are all flavorful and if you order it that way, very spicy. A word of warning if you decide to order the Tom Yum soup --very spicy means VERY spicy.
I wasn't really all that impressed. Everything was alright, their pad thai tasted like pad thai and the pad see euw was appropriately spicey, but nothing really stood out. Mostly pretty standard dishes, and it's a little expensive. For more interesting food, try Thai Sa-By or just suck it up and make the drive to Mountain View.
The food was okay, the coconut juice inside the coconut was good, soup not so impressive, pad thai and pad see wee was good; not bad- i thought it had a little too much eggs for my taste.
The ambiance was cool. What I liked about this place was the thai style seating. I think this is a place to check out to try something different.
Service was great!

Comments:
Out of the 8 Thai restaurants that I been to in San Jose...this place is the one that can use some improvements with their recipes.
This place likes to use at least a half of cup of sugar in most of their dishes. I love sweetness in my foods but not candy like dishes. If you order their pad tai you will know what I mean.

As stupid as this sounds, I really really enjoy this place!
I came here with my boyfriend for my birthday lunch while waiting for 4zeroeight to open up for the tiny tatts tuesday/thursdays, but thats a whole 'nother story in itself LOL. Anyway we made it just in time for the lunch menu (score!) and we saw that it was very decently priced. +1 for price
So we walk in and were immediately greeted by the host and were seated. +1 for customer service
I got the yellow curry chicken (obviously) and my boyfriend got the red curry beef lunch portions. We need to start straying more from our norms.. Lol I'm digressing again! Anyway it came with some sort of appetizers too, yay! I can honestly say I've had better, but shit not by that much +1 for food
Okay I would've given this store a 3 because I'm being mean today, but honest to god its a 4. Heres why: when we were eating this rude ass lady comes in with her friend and is bitching about why she couldn't sit in a certain table (I know, WTF. Sit where they tell you to fucking sit). The host explains that their setting up for dinner and want to have the stragglers sit in a smaller area. But still, she bitches and moans her way out and is able to sit where ever the fuck she wanted (btw she gave the whole "ohh but its okay if you're gna spit in my food" deal. Girrrrrrl I wasn't going to, but thanks for the idea!) That in itself is like +24356762687654 stars for the whole self restraint thing, I woulda popped that bitch in the gap if I were the host.
So I guess this place won the Best Thai Food award in 2002 (in the Wave or Metro). That is way past the 5-year grace period for winning any sort of championship.
It's sort of like the 49ers win a Superbowl in 2009 (bear with me here). For the next 5 years or so, anything that happens during their seasons does not really matter since they brought a championship home in 2009. But after 5 straight seasons without a championship, then it's time to step up, change coaches, management, or whatever else is holding the organization back from competing with the top teams.
With that said, they last won the Best Thai award a long time ago. It's been 6 years and they are still putting that up in front of their restaurant. Well, it's time for them to step and play with the top Thai restaurants
again.
The tools are there. Reasonably good Thai food, plenty of menu options, best soups in town, attentive service, decent prices, good location, unique seating arrangements, and wonderful ambiance. It just is not enough.
This place just used to be better. I am not sure what changed. It's still good, but not championship material, if you catch my drift.

I went to their sister restaurant a few months back and it was excellent, so I was looking forward to this meal.
It was however pretty bad. The fried rice must of been cooked a few hours earlier and not reheated properly, it was awful. Flavors were not great nor particularly fresh tasting.
The service was slow.
I came here on Friday with a few friends but only had the tom yum goong soup cause I wanted to save room for alcohol, heh just kidding! When I first stepped in I was pretty impressed with the decor, traditional seating, and Thai dressed staff but the food didn't impress at all...and if you opt to do the traditional seating, you got to take off your shoes off and its kind of gross if you go bare footed; wear or bring socks :D hah, maybe I'm just a germaphobe.
Anyways the food was ok, flavorful but it missing that spiciness and bang of Thai food. My soup was suppose to be spicy and sour but I found it to be a bit on the sweet side, perhaps from MSG? I was a bit thirsty after wards...My friend's dishes seem a bit on the bland side and they all added a fair amount of the chili sauce, lol.
The service sucked. Our server rudely grabbed our appetizer plates and stormed off, surprised he didn't hit me in the face! Plus, he only came back once to ask how we were doing and didn't even wait for a response. And OMG, we had these flying bugs that keep up diving into our food, GROSS. Dishes seem a bit small for the price your paying, mind as well go somewhere else if your craving Thai food but ok if your in the area already.
