   Dishes lacked depth of flavor and some were randomly inedibly spicy with red pepper flakes. The waiters were nice but were not regularly checking in. Silverware and chopsticks were not properly provided. Frequency of server checkin was low. And entree dishes were overpowered by spices with little flavor coming through. Overall looked like the reviews are not doing justice. Also it would be nice to have comfortable seating options. Or else you cut out the older population. The servers were overall kind and informative about dishes. But the food taste, lack of comfortable seating, and us having to find chopsticks, plates and cutlery since server was not checking in made the experience suppar

   Hi Deshawn, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your experience with us, but thank you for the feedback. We're always striving to be better, and it's this type of review that helps us focus on where we can grow. We would love to get you back in, and send you some food that we think could change your mind on how great our dishes can be here, and how great our service is when executed correctly. Not sure where you were sitting, but we can offer seating with back support in several of our sections if the benches in the main dining room don't suit your needs. Just let us know, and we'd be happy to make this all happen for you. Thank You again, Nick Cvercko, Assistant General Manager

   Just a very average experience and above average prices for Thai food. The jungle curry needs work.

   Hi Seth, Thanks for coming in, and your review. We depend on feedback to make sure we're always improving and focusing on what needs adjustment. May I ask what about the Jungle Curry you didn't enjoy? Also, what about the experience wasn't up to par? Again, thank you for letting us know, and we'd love to get you back in to show you how great things are here when our standards are met. Thank You, Nick Cvercko, Assistant General Manager

   Great atmosphere but a little loud for conversation. Food was just “okay”, not great. The penang short rib curry was so spicy hot that we had to load it with the rice to consume. We all enjoy spicy food, but it was over the top! We started with the crab salad, which was fantastic, crispy pork and shrimp shy mai, too crispy, hard to eat, the calamari which was good but there wasn’t much of it, and the brussel sprouts which were good but nothing special. For our mains we ordered panang short rib curry, the son in law which was the hero, the tiger cry and the chicken fried rice which were pretty average. We finished with carrot cake, which had good flavor, just wished it wasn’t so dry. We dined early but had issues with drink service, just a soda, we ultimately canceled order after not receiving it within a half hour. Maybe we had high expectations, we traveled a hour to meet friends but we likely won’t return.

   Hello Tanya, Thank you for coming in, and for your honest feedback. We always want to strive to improve, and it's open honesty like this that helps us focus on the right areas of improvement. I'm sorry your drink service lacked, and that certain items weren't made to your liking. I can for sure say that when the pork and shrimp shu mai are cooked correctly, they are a crowd favorite. We're currently retooling the entire dessert menu, and have been focusing on the fryer a lot. I'd love to get you in and buy you a shu mai, dessert, and your soda to show you what great things you can expect from us. Just let them know I sent you and they'll confirm it all with me. Thanks again Nick Cvercko - Assistant General Manager

   Very pleasant patio. Server was nice, but didn't get too involved, or offer much info, we had to ask for a happy hour menu, etc. Food was delicious. We will return!

   The ambiance is great, very well put together. We ordered the calamari as a starter which had good flavor but it was a small portion and not worth it for the price. The curry wasn’t traditional, more watery than thick to me and so I didn’t necessarily enjoy it but the short rib and rice bowl was amazing. The flavors stood out and the consistency was good. Overall a decent meal but I don’t think it’s worth the price for type of food they’re servicing. Good place to hang out and enjoy some apps with friends if you’re down to pay the fee.

    Mains were great but appetizers were over cooked and brittle (calamari and dumplings).

    Hello Keith, Thank you for the review. I'm sorry we missed the mark with your fried appetizers. These are two of my favorites for sure, so seeing them overcooked is a real shame. I will pass this information to the culinary team and we'll address it. Thank you for your honest feedback, it's our main tool for knowing what's working and what is not. When next you're in, get a hold of me and I'll make sure we get these apps on your table made right. Thanks again Nick Cvercko, Assistant General Manager
