"On my journey to find a go to Thai Spot and sadly this wasn’t going to be it. Ambience: Industrial vibes with old world sewing machine tables. I loved it. It was quickly ruined when not one but two tables were sticky and there was food still on them. I understand if it’s busy but there was no one inside on a Tuesday mid-day. We ordered the Kao Moo Dang, Mixed Seafood Noddles, and the Kao Pod Tod. The Kao Moo Dang essentially is a sampler served with rice and a broth. The crispy pork could have been so much better. It was served at room temperature. Nothing on the plate felt like it touched a hot pan or at least and oven. There was a sliced pork in an overly sweet sauce. The sausage was nice but needed to be warm. The broth was the highlight. The mixed seafood noodle was weird. Each component had a different flavor. The shrimp was tasty but the squid was chewy and felt old. The scallop was over cooked and chewy. The noodles were mushy and tasted weird. This isn’t my first rodeo with Thai food and this wasn’t the usual flavors. The Kao Pod Tod was good. It’s corn fried in batter. My SO decided to pass on desert and she really wanted to enjoy the pandan pancake but it was unfortunately not something that’s freshly made. It’s just in a container sitting at the desk. The waitress and cashier were polite and friendly. Unfortunately this will not be a repeat. From all the reviews I expected better. I wanted it to be my close go to Thai spot. The hunt continues."

"As for the food, it was subpar. The marinara sauce tasted like thick ketchup and lacked any real flavor. It's hard to believe this is the only Italian restaurant where you leave still feeling hungry. The portion sizes made me feel like I had ordered from a children's menu. When I requested some hot giardiniera, he brought out just two tiny portions and asked if I wanted both. I insisted that I needed both. I also asked for Italian dressing but received balsamic instead. I was too hungry to wait for him to come back, and it felt like he would take his time. I ended up eating, but I could have had better food at an Olive Garden in Kentucky. My date ordered a seafood salad that was quite perplexing; I didn't realize celery was considered seafood. Her salad was mostly celery with a few thawed calamari rings. When I mentioned to the waiter that they seemed frozen, he assured me they were fresh and made to order. He misled us. They were clearly previously frozen, quickly thawed, and tossed in oil with a lot of celery. My date has never sent back a meal, but this was the first time I saw her refuse one. The calamari looked like it had "GOODYEAR" stamped on it. There is nothing that would convince me to return to this place. The food and service were both terrible. This establishment should be closed down. If you want a good meal, head to The Rainbow Cafe across the street. This place was just awful."
