1 /5 Eda Maria: We started with some starters — Thai calamari and dim sum. Both were very oily, and honestly there was nothing particularly “Thai” about the calamari apart from a bit of chilli. My dad even showed a picture from their own website to ask the staff what dish it was, and they told him it was the soft shell crab. But when we came to order it, only then did they say they didn’t actually have it and were “waiting for the boss.” That should have been made clear from the start.
For mains, I had the beef pad Thai and it was the worst I’ve ever had — stodgy, too sour, and bland. My dad’s Singapore noodles were also bland. The only thing that was relatively okay was the red chicken curry, but even that was nothing special.
The service was odd. We were the only customers and the staff kept staring at us, which made the experience uncomfortable. During our meal, another man popped in from Spice Station (the Indian restaurant down the road), chatted with the staff, then rushed out again. It really feels like both places are run by the same people, and honestly they should just stick to running the Indian restaurant instead of attempting Thai food.
I’m also suspicious of their website. They make a big show of boasting about their “master chefs,” but after eating here, I seriously doubt it’s true.
Overall, very disappointing food and atmosphere. Would not recommend, especially when there are much better options nearby like Rusty Bike.
