                    I eat often at this restaurant, but the food was just not very good tonight. They are famous wings were not as flavorful, and the order came with one less wing. The papaya salad was not fresh and the eggplant with coconut had no coconut flavor at all and was really not cooked thoroughly. I've been eating here for several years and it was my first time that I felt the food was not very good.

                    The Curry is just AMAZING! I drive about 45 min to eat there and it never disappoints. We sat at the bar and the service felt a bit slow- like we had to wave them down for drinks.

                    firstly amazing food as usual but today the server kept pushing us to leave since there was us a table after us at 7. she kept annoying us from 6:20 pm and went to the extent of pulling the plate while i was eating and none of the food was over. i understand a time limit, but this is just disrespectful. she did this at 6:30 and then reminded us around 5 times that a table was coming at 7 pm.
