While the staff was friendly, I found the food to be average. In my opinion, there was a bit too much coconut milk in the green curry, and the grilled chicken was a little dry. On the other hand, the fried calamari was excellent.
My boyfriend and I went to their new location in Chapel Hill on August 31, 2024. This place was recommended to me by a co worker. Our server, Vera, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. For our appetizer, we split the Crisy Frief Tofu. with sauce. The appetizer was very delicious and came out piping hot. The presentation was great too. I was actually able to use the chopsticks with the appetizer and some with my entree!! 😊 I ordered the Massaman Curry with Fried Tofu in a coconut milk (cream sauce ?) which included potatoes, onions, cashews and other spices. I told our server I don’t eat as spicy, so she recommended to order the dish as it comes (mild). She was right on point. I brought a little home for my mom since she likes Massaman curry, but she found it a little sweet because it was ordered as mild which was perfect for me. My mom still liked it. The dish comes with white rice. My boyfriend got the tofu pad Thai which normally comes with fish sauce and eggs. If you are vegan or vegetarian, they can leave out the eggs and/or fish sauce. We also got a dish for my boyfriend’s roommate. He wanted the Chicken Red Curry. I told Vera that he wanted spicy, but not too spicy. She recommended the spice level of 1.5. My boyfriend said his roommate really enjoyed the meal. We will definitely be back! Nice, but casual place for a date night. The owner’s name is Jay ( not sure if I spelled that right). The decor on the walls inside is nice.
Unbelievably delicious food, drinks, and truly excellent service. 3/5 for the atmosphere for dark walls, soft music, very few flies, and ants on our table, but it looked like they just did landscaping so perhaps the ants were stirring (cute landscaping, too). I'm so happy this establishment expanded, and I can not wait to see their evolution. 5/5 if you order take away.
One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. My girlfriend and I are regulars and always come here. From the start it was a bad experience, we were not greeted when we walked in and then once we were, we were told to sit anywhere and the spot we wanted to sit had someone’s coat who wasn’t even occupying it. We get the pad thai level 3 spice but it’s not quite hot enough, so we tried the level 4 spice. It was WAY too spicy it became inedible. All the waitress said was if we knew our spice levels and we said yes we get a level 3, but we learned 4-5 uses ghost pepper. There was no warning from the waitress and no indication on the menu of such. The staff saw that we were not enjoying our food and did nothing about it, did not even ask if we were okay. That’s not the only thing, we also wanted to try a new dish since we only have gotten the pad Thai, we saw good things on the masaman curry so ordered it, but once it came out, the waitress TOOK our silverware so we had nothing to eat it with. We decided to leave and asked for a Togo container and she brought out a cardboard box that cannot hold the curry. Terrible waitress and service. Will not be coming back again, lost 2 regulars.
Food is packed full of flavor! Highly recommend the massaman curry.
