The bf and I went here during what we call \"the dead zone\" time of day when most the best restaurants in Charlotte are closed in between lunch and dinner. I had to have some Thai and I realllly wanted Basil but this was literally the only Thai restaurant in our vicinity open at 3:30 on a weekday. When we got there we were the only customers. Little old lady guides us to a table, sets down two menus and walks away. Ooooo...kay.\n\nShe didn't come back to get drink orders until we were ready to order our food. We ordered crab rangoon as a starter (it was really good and made with real crab) I ordered the shrimp pad thai, extra hot. It was great! The bf ordered honey chicken...it tasted ok. But then the unthinkable happened - he discovered a little DEAD FLY in the chicken. He told the server, she apologized and went to throw it away. I was grossed out--but my pad thai was delicious I kept right on eating, but not without first scrutinizing every bite that went in my mouth. All good. The lady brought him out a fresh new plate of chicken about 5 minutes later.\n\nAll in all, minus the dead fly it was ok. The authentic Thai decor was really beautiful to look at, but I think I will wait until Basil is open before going here again.
