We’ve ordered from here for years and the food is great but the portions are getting smaller (the containers are not as full as they used to be and the proportion of sauce is increasing.

Ordered on Uber Eats cause I was hungry and it was a BOGO deal. Well to say the least I was pretty disappointed. Pad Thai tastes like ketchup, and the spring rolls just tasted like vinegar. Would not recommend.

I must say, this is one of the worst versions of Pad Thai I’ve had. Tasted like tomato sauce and lime? It was sort of thick and grainy. I used to order from here all the time, but found a place that had a specific dish I loved. Decided to go back for old time’s sake and was thoroughly disappointed.

Disappointed with the Service

I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but the service at this place was unacceptable. The cashier/server was rude, dismissive, and made us feel completely unwelcome. From the moment we walked in, there was no greeting or eye contact, and any questions we asked were met with attitude or sarcasm. It felt like we were bothering them just by being there.

Customer service is just as important as the food, and unfortunately, this experience ruined the entire visit. I hope management takes this seriously and trains their staff on basic respect and hospitality. Definitely won’t be returning.

Today placed an order through Uber Eats for 2 plates of Pad Thai and 2 orders of spring rolls from this restaurant. When the food was delivered, I noticed that there was no lemon slice with the Pad Thai and no dipping sauce included for the spring rolls—which are typically standard accompaniments for these dishes.
Out of curiosity, I called the restaurant to ask about the missing items. I spoke with a female staff member who informed me that a slice of lemon and even the spring roll sauce must be purchased separately. I was honestly shocked.
I've been ordering Thai food for many years and have never encountered this kind of policy. It feels unreasonable—and frankly, deceptive—to nickel and dime customers for basic items that are traditionally included with the dish.

Customers, please be aware: this place appears to cut corners and charge extra for things that should come standard. It feels like a subtle way to squeeze every penny out of your order to cover their costs.
I won't be ordering from here again and urge others to double-check what’s included before placing an order.

The only reason I’m still giving this place two stars is because of the server—friendly, attentive, and clearly doing their best to provide good service.

Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. The fish was overcooked and dry, the Pad Thai noodles were undercooked and too firm, and the sauce was overly sweet and lacked balance. Worst of all, the shrimp had a bad smell, which was a clear sign it wasn’t fresh.

The dining environment was also uncomfortable. Loud shouting from the kitchen made it hard to enjoy the meal, and the restaurant was uncomfortably hot.

A lot needs to be improved here—especially in terms of food quality and atmosphere.
