"The first thing I noticed when I walked in is the dining room is blocked off by a row of tables. After I asked if the place was open and was told yes and that I could dine in after I asked that question a nice lady moved one of the tables and sat me at a nearby booth.I began reading the menu and noticed very high prices in comparison to other Thai restaurants in the US that I've eaten at. (That number may be close to 75.)I was able to find a few items at a price I felt comfortable with and ordered. They totalled to $43. (Pad Thai, Tom Yum soup, and Thai iced tea. I'll just cut to the chase. The Pad Thai tasted like burning mattresses and couches. It was absolutely horrible. I was good sport about it and ate as much as I could but had to stop after 6-8 forkfuls. I just couldn't take another bite. The soup wasn't a whole lot better but at least it tasted close to what I've had since I first experienced Thai food in 1987. It just lacked the sour citrus and chili pepper flavors. The Thai iced tea was great. Neither dish was hot. They were just lukewarm. I don't know what happened to the Pad Thai but it was among the nastiest tasting foods I've ever eaten.The service was lousy as well. The soup and Pad Thai came at nearly the same time. After I told the mistress about the Pad Thai she quickly brought the check and deserted me. After 15-20 minutes of sitting and not eating I got up and walked to the back of the dining room where the woman was on her phone and a man on his laptop and requested a to go cup for my Thai Tea. The man retrieved one for me when he realized the woman wasn't going to acknowledge me. I didn't leave a tip. $43 for a garbage experience."

"Came here for some noodles on New Year 's day. Noodles for longevity, right!? Overall food was pretty good, but my favorite part was the kimchi.Ordered two noodle dishes, the Jajangmyeon and the Jjamppong which are two Korean dishes I 've had before, but not here. I will saw that these are two dishes that are somewhat nostalgic, since I 've had them a good amount of times as a child. As with many dishes like that, there is a certain flavor I 'm expecting. These two were not exactly that, but still pretty good in general.The Jajangmyeon (black bean noodle) has that really savory (slightly sweet) black bean sauce with the chewy noodles. If you have never had this dish, the dark color might scare you off, but give it a try, the flavor is not as intimidating as the overall look is. There 's chopped up onions, other vegetables and small pieces of beef inside. The overall flavor was there, but I think it just needed that flavor more concentrated.The Jjamppong which is a spicy soup was comforting on a cold New Years morning. There 's carrots, onions, zucchini, squid and shrimp in this one. It 's not as spicy as it appears from the color and I 'd actually enjoy it more if it had more spice. Along with that you get that seafood flavor, so if that 's not your thing, be warned. I believe the noodles are the same type as in the Jajangmyeon.This is a Chinese/Korean restaurant, as opposed to solely Korean, and they only give out one banchan, the kimchi. I was actually surprised that it was so good. It 's sweeter in flavor than usual and of course has the slight spice and sour pickled flavor. Got several refills of this one.It 's a pretty basic designed place with lots of tables. There appeared to be many larger groups being accommodated for the holiday. Even though it was quite busy, service was quick and attentive.If you are looking for some of the best kimchi, along with the entrees, try this place out."

"My family and I came here on a Saturday night and were seated immediately! It was pretty empty when we went, so service was fast and the waitstaff was friendly. It was quiet to talk too, but food was pretty average. I'd say they definitely are stronger in their curry dishes compared to everything else. We ordered:1. Appetizer 1: Roti Canai smaller than expected; it seemed like they were from a frozen bag, to be honest. BUT the peanut curry sauce that came with it was tasty, more heavy on the curry flavor than peanut butter, but we enjoyed it!2. Appetizer 2: Chicken Satay also smaller than expected with just 4 mini skewers. However, the chicken was juicy and yummy, and came with the same peanut curry sauce. Both appetizers were $8. 3. Entree 1: Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles) with chicken This was my favorite dish; the flat noodles were soft and chewy and flavorful. It had a great kick to it, so beware of spice! The chicken was a bit dry, but we ate it with our leftover peanut curry sauce and it was good.4. Entree 2: Panang Curry with pork The curry had super strong lemongrass flavor and coconut, but I like lemongrass so it was great to me. There was also a good mix of vegetables to meat, though the pork was too chewy for me.5. Entree 3: Sweet and Sour Fish you get to choose whether you want red snapper, tilapia, or salmon; we chose red snapper. The fish was super crispy and tender. However, this fish was a bit of a letdown because the toppings were too chunky and didn't exactly match the flavor of the sauce. Also, one of the toppings, pineapple chunks, were not fresh and definitely canned. The sweet and sour sauce was also a bit too runny and more on the sour end than sweet."
