"I visited a regular neighborhood Thai spot that was closed for lunch, so I thought I’d give this place a try. The food was prepared quickly, and the staff member behind the counter was friendly. However, I have my doubts about the authenticity of the Thai cuisine here. I only ordered four items, three of which were poorly executed, and while I hesitate to say the food was unusable, “unremarkable” might be a more appropriate descriptor.
The Tom Kha soup was acceptable, featuring an abundance of button mushrooms in a creamy coconut milk broth that had a faint hint of lemongrass. Among my other choices, the rice noodles in the Pad Thai were clumped together in a dense ball, suggesting that they were pre-cooked improperly and not rinsed afterward.
I also tried two items from the American snack food section of the menu. The French fries were of the frozen, cut-style variety but arrived soggy and unappetizing. Although the portion was generous, these floury fries lacked crispy, golden edges and proper texture. I ended up salting them, placing them on a secondary plate, and putting them in the oven for another 15 minutes to crisp them up.
One side dish described as fried chicken turned out to be nothing more than a box of thin, gray pieces of overcooked chicken skin, nearly blackened. I wasn't sure if it was a unique Thai street food I had never encountered or just a culinary error."
