"Have been here many many times before the Thai food here is just brilliant and it’s very easy to forgive the tired decor, quirky headroom of some tables etc etc.However the past three times it has become apparent that their service standards are failing Significantly.I will only talk about this visit as have not mentioned it before because decided to ignore it as love the food.Pre booked a table and when we arrived only 4 tables out of 12 in use. Were offered Thai crackers and orders drinks. The drinks took 20 Minutes to arrive!Then we ordered the strayers and main meals, well ...... basically we had to wait an hour yes really an hour to get our starter!!!!!She sis apologise and give us some more crackers but for how few people were in there an hour was totally unacceptable without proper explanation.Ate our meals and spoke to the server who told us that the owner was very busy doing take away meals so that’s why we did mot get our food. I asked does he prioritise on take seats over people in the restaurant and her reply was ‘of course ‘.There was no apology at a and we distinctly got the impression that people eating In were a hassle for them because they can’t easily answer the phones or deal with the take away Food.This was such a disappointment for us as we love this place food and have eaten here loads of times but after the past three visits being so shambolic we really don’t want to book ourselves go back in ever again."

"So despite a previous disappointment we have subsequently returned every 4 to 6 weeks because we live locally and generally have an enjoyable visit. Not this time unfortunately. The spicy kimchi casserole was bland, certainly lacking any hint of 'spicy '. Even worse was the spicy chicken which, in addition to having no spice, was hot but chewy on the outside and cold on the inside suggesting it could have been cooked from frozen rather than cooked fresh. When we told the waitress it is normally crunchy on the outside and hot throughout she offered to have a fresh one made, only to hastily return to advise that the dish is not crispy because of the sauce on top this is nonsense as we have ordered this dish on several previous visits and it was nothing like what was served this evening. I 'm not sure whether the chef was feeling lazy, whether they took umbrage at the constructive feedback or whether they actually hail from Korea but the response from the kitchen was unacceptable. My wife then complained about the chicken to the waiter who brought the bill; the waiter simply said 'sorry '. Yet throughout our meal the table next to us was being fawned over? I appreciate restaurants are going through a tough time but so are their customers; why should we accept a substandard dish in return for our own hard earned money? Sorry Koreana but I am struggling to contemplate returning after this visit!"

"TL;DR Get the Por Pia, Fresh Shrimp Basil Roll, Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, any of the curries, or peanut sauce beloved. Avoid Tom Yum soup and the Pad spicy chili. Apparently there 's a character limit on Google reviews, so you 're missing out on the long preface about Lowes messing up our appliance delivery, but that 's why we ate at Thai Spoon every day for a few weeks. We wrote down a rating (1 5 for each meal, which I 'll share below. But first, a few words about the owner. After the first few days, he started throwing in free soup with my order. When I said we also like spring rolls (cough cough he was, WAIT RIGHT THERE and got me some. I 'm sure he appreciated the business in the middle of the pandemic, but that was just going above and beyond. Most of the entrees can be made vegetarian (and probably vegan Appetizers Por Pia (spring rolls 5 stars. These are really good. The stuffing is fresh, and the outside is crispy. It comes with three medium small rolls. Crispy Tofu 4 stars. It 's just fried tofu with a good dipping sauce, but it 's a pretty large dish, so good value. Fresh Shrimp Basil Roll 5 stars. Pro tip you can ask to substitute tofu for shrimp. These are absolutely delicious and might be my favorite thing on the menu. Only downside is they are pretty pricey for the amount of food you get. Tempura 3.5 stars. Vegetarians, sub tofu for shrimp. This is a large dish, but it 's just ok. It 's kind of greasy and bland, but I think that 's just how tempura is? It 's the same as any other tempura I 've had. Crispy mushroom 4 stars. This is basically the same dish as the tempura, but with mushrooms. It 's much worse value though, so if you 're in the mood for something fried, I would go with the tempura. Soup Tom Yum – 1 star. This was NOT GOOD. I can’t say what it was exactly that we didn’t like, but both my partner and I were like “uh uh, no, not eating that.” Tom Kha – 4.5 stars. This was much better. Generous servings of tofu, and the broth is excellent. Clear glass noodle – 4 stars. Ask to make vegetarian. Really good at first, and would have been 5 stars. The owner warned me that I needed to mix thoroughly, because the salt would settle at the bottom. I did mix, a lot, and it was great. But when I had leftovers, it was WAY too salty. So I guess mix often and try to eat it all at once. Noodle and Rice Pad Thai – 5 stars. One of the best dishes. Just perfect in every way. Pad Kee Mow – 4 stars. Still very good, not as flavorful as some of the other dishes. Pad Z Ew – 4.5 stars. It was 5 the first time we got it, but the second time it wasn’t as good. Pad Woon Sen – 4.5 stars. My partner said 4, but I thought it was tasty. All the noodle dishes are kind of similar though, hard to compare. Thai Fried Rice – 5 stars. Just perfect. Spicy Basil Fried Rice – 3 stars. There was something about the spicy ingredient that just wasn’t good, it ruined the other flavors. Curry Entrees Mussamun curry – 4 stars. The sauce was AMAZING and by far the best of the curries, but the veggies were bad. The avocado tasted really weird (I don’t think avocado belongs in soup, but what do I know? , and the cashews had a weird taste and texture too. Panang curry – 4.5 stars. This one was a bit too spicy for me, but my partner loved it. Green curry – 4.5 stars. Same as above. Yellow curry – 4.5 stars. This one was not too spicy, and the potatoes were delicious! But the sauce wasn’t as flavorful. Stir fry entrees Broccoli garlic – 4 stars. Pretty good, nothing earth shattering though. Spicy basil – 4 stars. Same. Pad Khing – 4.5 stars. My partner said it was kind of boring, but I disagree. Sweet and sour – 4 stars. Pretty decent sweet and sour. Pad Spicy Chili – 1.5 stars. NOT GOOD. It just tasted like chili peppers and nothing else. Spicy eggplant – 3 stars. The eggplant just wasn’t doing it for us. Peanut Sauce Beloved – 4.5 stars. This dish has a weird name, but it’s delicious Spicy cashew nut – 4.5 stars. Too spicy for me, my partner liked it. Veggies together – 3.5 stars. I think this one was just boring."
