For an improptu dinner a couple months ago we went to this place hoping to get some hearty authentic Thai grub. The three of us went for a couple Pad Thais, a Tom Yum Gong Soup and a Green Curry Prawn with rice. Pad Thai ($56)The two plates of rice-stick noodles were anything but authentic. The noodles were coated in a watery tomato sauce and was simply sweet, no tang of time and there was nothing savoury.

Pad Thai ($56)
The two plates of rice-stick noodles were anything but authentic. The noodles were coated in a watery tomato sauce and was simply sweet, no tang of time and there was nothing savoury. The noodles should be fried dry but instead we got super soft noodles with big chunks of semi-cooked tomato slices and protein (dried tofu and chicken) that was not fresh at all.
Tom yum gung soup ($60)
The soup was a big bowl of salty and spicy broth with a couple overcooked shrimp, nothing more.
Green Curry with Prawn ($98)
There were about 12 sad little shrimps in a watery-thin green coconut sauce. Not spicy at all, and none of the sweet and spicy balance that green curries should have. The shrimps were not only small but stupendously over-cooked till they were basically mush in texture. I might as well left out the rice because that sauce was no where near good enough to pour over the rice.
The fact that every time I walk by this place it is full at dinner times (during the week) is beyond me. Perhaps its due to a lack of good restaurants but I do also feel that this is a try-once-no-next-time kind of place. The fact that there's all these photos of celebrities with the chef does nothing and I hope with time they realise their food is below-par and improve on their many basic dishes.
I wasn't able to find anything that I liked about this meal and my dining companions felt the same. Over-charged and disappointed, we left, swearing to not return again.
