Nous sommes venus ici plusieurs fois, la qualité & présentation des plats sont toujours excellent. Hier, on a essayé le calmar grillés au paprika, Plamuk Yang. C'est vraiment bon. Je recommande.
The restaurant is beautiful & all the staff were lovely. Really nice service, & you could tell they liked working there. The portions are also very large. Unfortunately, the food was not great. I found it bland & it didn't taste like Thai food. I don't plan on even thinking about coming back. Should we have stuck to the Classics menu & ignored the specialties? Then again the server said he loved the dish I ordered. I read so many rave reviews, so I'm sitting here wondering if I ordered the wrong things... But at the same time, there shouldn't be so many wrong things to order. Only one dish out of five rose above "okay". The Larp Kai (chicken salad) was a real miss. We get papaya salad often at other places, & wanted to try something new. We didn't specify spice levels, because we didn't feel we had to in order to get a decent amount of heat in a Thai restaurant... Sadly there was no spice at all, & the flavour as a whole was really bland. Its just chicken, red onion & lime. I tasted cilantro in just one bite, definitely no mint or grilled rice flavour involved. I was hoping for something herbaceous & fresh & light, & it was a real let down. The imperial rolls & the sauce were decent enough flavour wise, though I wish the sauce was amped up a bit. The filling was surprisingly juicy, but the wrapper felt a little thick & a bit tough & lacked the shattering crunch you crave from an imperial roll. The pork sausage was our favourite dish. Nicely browned skin but still very juicy inside, & the seasoning was very nice. This one actually tasted like Thai food. My only frustration is that the sausages are on a bed of delicious, crispy fried onions & whatnot, but they are nearly impossible to get in your mouth (too long, & somehow difficult to cut in half) & the plate is too flat & narrow to scoop them up easily with a fork or cut them, so I just ended up with a bunch of crispy bits all over the table. My partner ordered the Douchi Beef, which we agreed was nothing special. I had Jiaoyan Youyu (fried calamari). Once again I was frustrated by the plating. The calamari pieces were very large, way too much for one bite. Cutting food is no big deal, but cutting food that is in a very deep, curved bowl is not fun (& I destroyed the crunchy coating on the squid doing so). This dish was nothing to write home about either. If I'm being honest, every dish except the sausage made me think of Chinese take out. The kind of Chinese takeout you order because its "pretty good" & it'll hit the spot at 1am when everything else is closed. & there's nothing wrong with that kind of food, but its not what I expect from an expensive Thai restaurant. I've never cared or thought much about music in a restaurant before, but the music here was noticeably boring (I didn't know such a thing was possible). Repetitive trendy trendy repetitive beats. Cocktails were also just ok. The Thai cocktail just tasted like a regular mojito, which surprised me given the ingredients - lots of chopped thai basil in the drink, but the flavour didn't come through. Was it muddled at all? & again, zero spice from the spicy galangal syrup. The Khmer was also a letdown, just a sweet pineapple drink with no balance & no ginger coming through. Again, the service was really really nice. So I feel bad writing this. But the food was that much of a letdown.

The restaurant looks great. I took a fried rice that was supposed to come with pineapple. The bowl is very big for a normal person (I had enought left over for a second meal). BUT, there were literally 4 pieces of pineapple inside ... & I specifically took that dish for the pineapple ... When I mentionned it to the waiter, he saidd "ok I will let the cook know" & that's it ... 26$ for a bowl of fried rice with nothing particular ... What a scam.
J'ai beaucoup aimé la nourriture & l'ambiance était très agréable! Le décor fait branché. Cependant, le service aurait pu être mieux.. Nous devions faire des suivis pour avoir nos boissons, personne ne nous a demandé si tout était correct, les serveurs semblaient nous ignorer, etc. Bref, le service était très médiocre mais j'y retournerais tout de même pour la nourriture.
Nourriture excellente (nous avons essayé les classiques General Tai & Pad satay), belle présentation, ambiance cute. La sangria au sake était originale & délicieuse. Une belle découverte!
