Déçue du cari vert , oui il rempli de legumes frais & de viande mais la sauce n'est pas du tout correctement faite; elle est piquante , certe, mais manque les arômes traditionnels du cari vert thai ( galangal, citronelle, kaffir , racine de coriandre, etc ).
Dommage.
As you read many of my other reviews you will see that I rarely dislike Asian restaurants. Well, sorry to say, even though this place was highly recommended. I tend not to agree.
When we entered the restaurant, it was full. Usually when a restaurant is so busy the food is really good. Right?
Maybe I'm too picky & used to eating flavor packed food.
We ordered the Combo Build Your Way menu.
Included are 2 soups, 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, 1 vegetable & 2 steamed rice. What a great deal.
We ordered 2 Hot & Sour soups which did not come to our table hot, so both were returned. Once they came back they were a bit warmer but still not hot. If you can get it hot, the soup was very tasty & not spicy.
For our appetizers we ordered the Peanut Butter Dumplings & Fried Calamari. The dumplings were delicious, I wanted more, but the Calamari was overly battered & greasy.
Our mains were Orange Beef & a Red Curry Chicken & the vegetable dish was the Basil Tofu with Mixed Vegetables.
The beef was tender but heavily batter in a sweet sticky sauce but no orange flavor & not spicy. There were 2 tiny slivers of orange peel in the sauce.
The Basil Tofu vegetables were tasteless but did contain a very nice variety of veggies. It needed a kick. It was supposed to be spicy but it was not at all.
The Red Curry Chicken, onbtje other hand, was very flavorful & a bit spicy. The Curry with coconut milk helped enhance the flavor & give it a bit of kick. Very good.
All in all, if the food would have been hotter instead of just warm, it may have been more enjoyable. I don't appreciate going to any restaurant & having to complain & return the food. Yes, sure it was a Saturday night, & they were busy, but really. Staff was sufficient but they didn't even approach us & ask if all was ok.
Would I recommend this place? No
Will I go back? Probably not.
Whoa, this place introduced self inflicted shrinkflation. No longer worth going imho, see why below. Take out Order.
We order (used too, now no more) from Emeraude Bangkok for two reasons.
1) it was priced less than our favorite place for Szechuan - Latitude 31 (each plate is $10 less than Latitude 31) & was good value.
2) The General Tao went from decent (no where as good as Latitude 31) to eventually so bad that it's a hard pass (too much batter, too sweet & not enough meat). So we chose the Sesame Beef which was good. Well, no more ARGH!!!
SHRINKFLATION... the Sesame Beef is dry, because the portion size is a little less (same container size) & there next to no sesame seed sauce in each platter. Sheesh. 3 platters of Sesame Beef, all three dry.
Fortune Cookies are extra, no longer are they included & no longer available at the pickup desk.
Soy Sauce? it's EXTRA. No longer included.
Damn. Your cost cutting in the most damaging way. How'bout giving & including the'little extras' (not that I miss them, but it's a phycological thing) the fortune cookies & soy sauce yourself so you can control the abuse (people would take handful sometimes, instead of one per person).
OH, & since when do you get a brow beating for a pick up order & not tipping. Really!!! 1) do you really need to tip for a pick up order? Your not being served by a waiter, or cleaned up after, nor using utensils & plates! 2) Webster Merriam Definition for gratuity: something given voluntarily or beyond obligation usually for some service.
Great, an even more reason to not go there to get our szechuan fix.
Look, $10 more for a platter of General Tao ($19.45 vs $30.00) similar quantity & it's the gold standard no longer is worth the saving when ordering 3 platters worth of food if the food sucks.
(*Latitude 31 is the old chef's & sous-chef's from the closed L'Orchidée de Chine - they will even make you off menu items at Latitude 31 from the old L'Orchidée de Chine menu like Mongolian Beef).
Busy night...it was mother's day weekend! It was a bit long to receive our food, also I would have preferred a little bit more of the peanut butter sauce on the dumplings...but other than that all was great.
I was very disappointed with this restaurant. My chicken in peanut sauce was bland. Service was very slow. Be prepared to wait close to an hour for your main course. A small bowl of rice is not included. Someone at our table was charged $15 for a small portion of sautéed vegetables. I won't be going back.
Menu pour 2: soupe Tom yum savoureuse, plusieurs sortes de légumes. Pas de lait de coco, & poulet à la texture étrange, probablement reconstitué.
Entrées: calmars frits affreux: desséchés, dans beaucoup de pâte très croustillante. Rouleaux impériaux aux crevettes: juste une crevette, non déveinée, roulée dans une pâte à rouleaux. Sec, aucunement intéressant.
Poulet général tao pas mal, mais sauce un peu trop visqueuse, élastique, & pas du tout épicée.
Bœuf sésame: des morceaux de bœuf en pâte, comme le général tao. Sauce juste sucrée, aucun goût de sésame sauf les graines en trop grande quantité. Bof.
À la table voisine: les dumpling aux arachides & le bœuf au brocoli semblent bons.
On retourne pour la tom yum, peut-être le tao.
Service: froid, & une serveuse sent fort la cigarette, ce qui jette un mal de cœur chaque fois qu’elle passe dans le restaurant, même si elle est loin.
