Just Ok

I came from a town where a lot of Thai people lived and I love Thai food. Like other reviews state, it's easy to order as a vegan with a vegetarian section that marks which dishes are vegan. There's a good selection.

Food:
My Pad Thai wasn't Thai because it was too sweet. I don't know if they add sugar, corn starch or they use a sweet siracha, but it was too sweet to me. I'm sure some purple would like it. Also, my wife just asked for lime and Thai Basil and that made it wayyyy better. I was surprised there was no Thai Basil in the dish.

My fried spring rolls were very tasty, but was surprised when they arrived how small they were. I wasn't paying good attention to the picture on the menu and it is represented accurately, but I've never seen a spring roll smaller than a baby carrot. There wasn't much content. They only tasted good because deep fried dough tastes good, but there was hardly enough vegetable to affect the flavor. I think I'll try the fresh spring roll next time I'm here.

Quantity of food:
Some reviews say it was a lot of food for the money. For casual food pricing it would be considered a moderately small portion, but for sit down dining, I would consider the portion average. Maybe I just ordered different dishes than those other reviews. The fried spring rolls were definitely a small portion for the price even for sit down dining prices

Service:
The people are friendly. We got greeted quickly. They seemed 2 people understaffed, but that is a common problem in my area because of lack of workers so I wouldn't fault them for that It did make the service a little slower than we expected. We were not rolling about the lunch menu and it was lunch time. By the time we ordered we saw that menu because we were still exploring it and we phablet would've ordered from it. Also, we were 10 minutes from Happy Hour and we weren't told about that option either. Knowing about both would have made a difference in our experience and we probably would have ordered more food to try different things.

Price:
Like I already stated, it's in line with sit down dining pricing, not casual pricing. We bought 1 appetizer and 1 entree shared between my wife and I and spent $$38 after tax and tip and did not feel satisfied for that price, hence bought an impossible burger within 15 minutes of leaving.

I would return here but I wouldn't go out of my way and it would not be my first choice. It's a beautiful restaurant, so I hope they get a new chef to improve flavor.

Pros: Great Atmosphere and Design, Food tastes good, Friendly Welcoming Staff

Cons: Expensive for the quantity of food for spring roll, Thai American, Not Thai (ie. AmeriMex), Long Wait

Thai in CDA!

This place is great. I love that they list all the vegetarian/ vegan sauces at the front of the menu, specifically stating they use NO fish sauce/paste) and they have a vegetarian section on the menu. I really felt this place understands what vegans do and do not eat. Yay!!!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Food has great flavor, Portions are huge so you have leftovers for days

Cons: Expensive but you do get a lot of food.

Flavorful and accommodating

The menu is great, they very clearly list what sauces do not use fish sauce and also are very accommodating on how to ask for your order to be edited to be vegetarian and vegan. The portions are large and last for two dinners for one person. I love love that they serve forbidden sticky rice. I had the vegetarian tofu cashew stir fry and it was excellent.

Pros: Vegetarian menu with clear ordering instructions , Easy to find vegan options, Large portions
