"Hate to do this because CPK Thai Crunch Salad is supreme but.. we had a terrible experience at this location. Without getting into too much detail, the things that went wrong: Vegetarians beware Salad with sub for vege chicken came out with chickenmeat, and my vegetarian SIL accidentally ate chicken meat (she 's been vege for over a decade Check your bill Replacementsalad for vege didn 't have avocado in it although the additional charge for avocado was still on the bill. Not good for biggroups Table of 7, two mains came out, the others didn 't arrive for at least 15min, so the two first meals had to be eatenbefore everyone else got their food or they 'd be cold. Pizza was not hot on arrival. Not good for small children/babies Wehad a 2 year old who 's meal was last to come. (not sure how a salmon dish and a large pizza takes longer than salads a child 'spizza to make.. Don 't expect attentive service Asked for more menus twice (only had 2 for a table of 7 and they nevercame. Asked for water 3 times—luckily on the 3rd time we got some. Asked for side plates for the appetizers—never came.Dirty appetizer dishes never got cleared. Staff would drop things off and then not stick around long enough to see if we hadeverything we needed so it was impossible to flag anyone down for help/service. Eg. asked for fresh cracked pepper but theybought chilli flakes and I didn 't have the chance to say sorry I wanted black pepper . Never got asked how our mealwas. Usually wouldn 't waste my time writing a review like this but it was for my Mother 's 70th birthday (which they knew andoverall the experience was so upsetting for the entire family. Only shout out is to Sam, who wrote a note and left it at thefront desk saying we would be coming (even though they do not take reservations ."
