We ordered soup, spare ribs (appetizer), red curry with chicken, and a side of garlic and ginger rice.

Spicy Assorted Seafood Soup

The soup was tasty and all the seafood was delicious.

Menu Description:

I could smell the garlic from the ribs. Unfortunately, the ribs were thoroughly crispy; I don't mind a crisp exterior, but the interior should be soft and juicy.

Garlic Pork Spareribs

Menu Description:
Garlic Pork Spareribs Pork spareribs marinated & fried with garlic, white pepper, served with Sriracha sauce $9

The curry had a nice spicy flavor. I liked the taste of the basil. The bamboo still had a delightful crunch. Ada found the chicken was dry. Focusing on the taste of the sauce, I hadn't noticed. Upon eating a meatier piece of chicken, I co 7:35PM PT

Menu Description:
Red Curry (Kang Daeng) Red curry with coconut milk, bamboo shoot, bell peppers & Thai basil

Red Curry

Overall, we liked the food but there was a slight misunderstanding with our order. We asked for the red curry, and somehow (despite repeating ourselves) the waiter had us down for the yellow curry. When the yellow curry came out, I told him we ordered the red. Maybe business has been slow or something, because then another worker, perhaps his supervisor, came to double-check that we wanted the red and not the yellow.

Thus, while the issue was corrected, the attempt to blame me for the error was not an experience I expect to have when coming to a restaurant.
