Went here on short vacation really savoring the delicate and spicy flavors of Thai food but alas it was not to be - we had been here twice in past 4 yrs or so and something was definitely off this time - maybe new chef(s)? very underwhelming - we ordered:\n\nSiamese Kisses - you'd do better to get Shu Mai at Trader Joe's - very bland, no flavor whatsoever and nothing in filling except meat - i'd put some cirunch in there like chopped waterchestnuts and definitely add some spice. BLAH BLAH BLAH\n\nTom Ka Gai - supposed to be signature dish - came lukewarm - we asked for it to be heated - waited 10 min and it came out boiling near center of serving dish but was still lukewarm! why cooks dont take the soup out and heat in a pan and TASTE IT to make sure it is hot i never know - they stick it under broiler so top gets burned but never check or stir. . ...anyway it was thick, and not very appetizing - no delicate flavors of lemongrass and galangal but huge chunks / slices of precooked chicken - that's it with some green chopped onions thrown on top - methinks not a signature dish - yuck\n\nPad Thai - too heavy with tomato sauce and no good flavor - no subtleties of bean sprouts, just cooked noodles and peanut - just one solid mass of glob. YUCK AGAIN....the shrimp were good sized but had been boiled in water and thrown in at last minute so no flavors melded - where was the delicate Nam Pla flavor or the crunch of bean sprouts? no where to be found here - blah \n\nGreen Basil Curry with Pork - which was neither green nor did it contain any Thai basil - this dish is advertised as \"think Thai pesto curry\" - well it is NOT that at all..supposed to be in an assortment of green vegetables - well all there was was green pepper and green beans - and the green pepper didnt work at all - the meat was bland and dish overpowered by acrid flavor of bell pepper - if i were making it i'd add lots of Thai basil, use Chinese long beans and maybe add some carrot - but not green pepper ...also meat needed to be seasoned not just boiled in liquid. \n\ni will not be going back.
