I had green curry with chicken, kra pow pork and beer. I was looking forward to a nice Thai street food dinner after seeing how after more than a thousand reviews, this place still has a very respectable rating of more than 4 out of 5.
For this meal, I can only give it a 2.
Their kra pow is supposedly their bestselling item as I had to wait for it after my green curry was served like 15-20 minutes earlier. The flavor of the kra pow was quite on point, portion of the pork mince was a bit more than adequate. But the mince was very or rather has more sinewy bits than desired. Kinda like perhaps using more cheaper cut of the meat.
The green curry was subpar, it was too sweet and the chicken tasted kinda thawed frozen chicken, given the aftertaste. It was a rather small bowl with two halves of baby eggplant, and some potatoes which are not what I expected to find in green curry. This is just too pricey at $16, because this green curry tasted something like I could make myself with those instant green curry pack from supermarket.
All could be forgiven if not for the beer. The beer bottle was not that chilled and then they gave out a mug that was not chilled. For the price you charge for that beer, I would expect icy cold beer served in frozen beer mugs. So, it was a disappointing meal.
One more thing, the long slow wait to make the payment before the order could be placed was also a negative point. It had taken almost 3 minutes to process one order.
Ok, the staff was very nice though. Sorry to them that I have to give a harsh review on the experience with the waiting process and the quality of the food.

I had a great experience at this restaurant! The Thai-style minced pork rice, Pad Thai, and Drunkard Noodles were all very delicious. The takeout packaging was also very well done — the boxes were sturdy and nicely presented. The staff were incredibly friendly; when my original payment method wasn’t accepted, a kind female staff member helped me out by letting me transfer the money directly to her and she completed the payment for me. I really appreciate her helpfulness and friendliness. Highly recommend this place!

We had a very disappointing experience here. The food itself was not bad, but the service was extremely poor. While we were still eating and our dishes were clearly not finished, an older woman with dyed hair and a younger long-haired girl repeatedly came to our table trying to clear our plates. Their attitude was extremely rude.
There were several other tables with empty plates that they did not clear, and many tables were unoccupied, so we really don’t understand why they kept coming to us as if trying to rush us. It felt very uncomfortable.
The food is okay, but the service needs a lot of improvement. Please train your staff on basic courtesy.

I’d say a very solid 4-4.5*
Taste was good + quick service
Pad Thai no complaints
Pork kra pow good size and spicy
A little pricy but isn’t everything these days. Close an eye and enjoy it
Looks packed so get there early or late

We also ordered the pork cutlet in addition to the tom yum soup, pork trotters and pad thai. We loved the Tom Yum soup the most as it was mildly spicy and very flavourful. The pork trotters were decent and the cackling pork was not that fantastic tbh. The portions was very generous and you might have a hard time finding this place since it is hidden quite in an obscure spot within the mall. Worth a visit if you love thai food and you are around town area!!
