This is usually a sign to stay away, but we had read many good reviews of the place and were told that it was authentic, tasty Thai food. Here's what we ate:
This was fried red curry with beef. The beef was tender but lacked much of its own flavor. The red curry was a standard medium spicy Thai red curry much like you get a Thai restaurants throughout the world.
Verdict: T: Mediocre. /J: Very average.
The spicy charcoal pork salad was predictably very spicy. However, it lacked the tang of lime juice that is normal for these types of salads. The pork was cooked well, tender and flavorful, however was not charcoaly. The dressing was a little dull.
Verdict: T: Not as good as other Thai salads. /J: Desperately needed a tang.
The fried white snapper in a sweet chili sauce was a very firm mild fish. The breading was light and crisply fried. The sauce was slightly sweet, but not overpoweringly so. The sliced chilies lent an alternative flavor dimension to the dish.
Verdict: T: The sauce made all the difference /J: Tasty and well prepared.
The asparagus fried in oyster sauce was poorly cooked. Asparagus should be slightly cooked to remain crisp or soft enough to take on the flavor of the sauce. This asparagus was somewhere in between and the oyster sauce was watery.
Verdict: T: Not cooked properly. /J: Disappointing.
The creepy French guy sitting next to T, staring angrily at the camera, flipped out when J took this picture. It was likely because he was sitting with a prostitute.
