Customer Reviews
We were in Salem on the worst possible day of the year (Saturday before Halloween) and every place was packed. Still, we were seated and served much more quickly than expected. Staff was polite if not friendly but I don't think they had time to be very friendly. We ordered fried tofu, curry puffs, rainbow fried rice and hot chili fried rice. The tofu and curry puffs were not bad. the curry puffs are basically just small samosas. The rainbow fried rice was okay. Basic, middle-of-the-road fried rice. The hot chili fried rice, however, was possibly the best fried rice dish I've ever eaten. We were fighting over the last bite. That dish alone raised my review by a whole star and a half. It was so crowded, it's hard to judge the atmosphere or cleanliness of the place. the bathrooms
Worst Thai food I ever had . The green curry had no taste . And the server tired to charge us 5 dollars because they thought we were going to use the restroom and not order . And then when we asked her for something like salt for the tasteless food it was like we bothered her. Not all the servers were like that. Only 2 of them that we meet. Others were friendly .
In the mall this was a nice find that wasn’t too much of a wait during the October season. The staff were friendly and the food was solidly delicious for the items we ordered. The main dishes started around $20 a plate and Thai beer was $9, thrown in an appetizer and your starting cost per person is about 30-40. This seemed typical for the area to sit down during a very tourist gathering time. (They did have lunch specials) Inside was a touch warm but over all clean and welcoming.
I sat at a table and the chair and walls were dirty. I ordered a Thai tea it wad good. I ordered spring rolls and they were hard and the sauce appeared old and fresh had pieces of sugar floating in it. The yellow curry wasn't good just too plan and simple not much taste. It could have been better compared to other thai dishes ive had. Also the prices were expensive 22 for yellow curry. The server was nice and attentive maybe I ordered the wrong dish.
Server lady, also cashier was extremely rude. After taking a seat she brought chemical bottles and proceeded to clean the empty table next to me continuously. The smell was strong, pretty distasteful of her, I can tell she was upset or not having a good day. Pad Thai looked like ramen noodles topped with 4 small pieces of boiled chicken ( spoiled meat taste), she left the dish on the table, and left, never came back to check on my meal. I do not only “not” recommend the place for the service but the food, I’m a traveler and would hate to cut my vacation short due to food poising Please be aware of the little ones, if you go with your kiddos please taste their meal to make sure the meat is not spoiled. *Pad thai is not part of the lunch menu*
