I visited this place a couple of years ago and I was surprised at how fresh and tasty the food was. At the time, I vowed to make a return appearance. Coming back here for a special dinner, I sat down and was instantly greeted by dirty plates. Undeterred, the first dish arrives and it is the Tom Yum Goong soup. The soup itself was flavorful and had a nice kick to it but the soup lacked the finishing touch that would have made it memorable. Rating: 4/5The Assorted Platter came next and none of the

The Assorted Platter came next and none of them were good. The best thing from the platter was the shrimp cakes but they only tasted OK, nothing special. The shrimp spring rolls were terrible. There was little taste apart from the celery. Fish cakes were awful and was overpowered by the leeks. Vegetable spring rolls were mediocre. Rating: 2/5
Then we were recommended by our server to order extra shrimp spring rolls becase the Platter wouldn't be enough for our party so my table ended up ordering an extra shrimp spring rolls dish. Big mistake. Rating: 0/5
Pad Thai came and it was only average. Forgettable dish. Rating: 2.5/5
Pomelo salad is beloved in our circle but Na Thai's was simply slopped together. The pomelo was sour. There was not enough dressing and toppings. The taste was simply bland. Very disappointing. Rating: 0/5
Salted kale was ordered as the vegetable dish but the vegetables we got were old and not fresh. The dish was supposed to come with Chinese anchovies but that was completely missing. Rating: 0/5
We finished with the grilled chicken and at $175, we were expecting half a chicken at least but instead we got a quarter of a chicken on a bed of lettuce laid on a small plate. The chicken itself was not that fresh and had some raw chicken taste to it and we only got some chicken wings and other chicken bits and pieces. Rating: 0/5
Service: Attentive but they had some major issues. First the good part. They refilled our waters without us asking, fixed a loose table screw and were generally doing their best to make sure everything went smoothly. Unfortunately, due to the lackluster food, they kept asking us how our dinner was. When we said we did not like the kale, they only patronized us and offered no promise of any future improvement. At the end of our meal, they saw that we did not finish our chicken and asked us what we thought. When we told them that our chicken had raw taste to it, they just said the chef probably did not put enough spices in it.
Overall, the portions were small and poorly plated. We felt cheated by the grilled chicken dish and the small portions of the other dishes. This restaurant was worth the high rating 2 years ago but is now another victim of those good restaurants that are going downhill.
