I had a wonderful experience dining at Songkran on a Saturday evening for dinner. This was my third…read moretime visiting this establishment but the prior two times were for lunch. I was greeted at the entrance by friendly staff and was asked if I preferred to sit closer to the entrance or towards the back. I chose the seats deeper into the restaurant because it was a humid day and I wanted to keep my distance from the front door. We were promptly seated and here handed the menus. The menus must have been hot off the press because they were in very good condition. We proceeded to order two entrees (date night with the wife) and the food came out rather quickly. The flat rice noodle (pad si-ew) with beef is one of my go to dishes at any Thai restaurant. The one here was very good! It came out hot, presentation was nice, and the portions of beef were very generous. We also ordered the tofu yellow curry and it was delicious. The tofu was fried very well - so well that it kept up its crunch despite being soaked in the yellow curry. We got spice level 2 of 4 and it was perfect. The waiter called it "mild" but I would say closer to medium. Maybe mild for Thai food. Anyhow, no regrets and we devoured the yellow curry which also came with a side of rice. By the end of dining experience we were so full that we unfortunately did not have room for dessert. All in all, a great experience and we will be back for sure. Given that it's Uptown which generally means pricier food options, I thought the dishes were all fairly priced. The parking is plentiful but when it's busy time like Saturday night, you may have to park further away. Enjoy!

It's owned by a small Vietnamese family and they recently had the passing of a member of the family so for now it's only open for lunch. It's a small well knitted family in a small building on Richmond around the 1800 block.

The vibe is homey and small with lovely service to boot, but unfortunately that's where the appeal ends. The food was a big bust for my group and I. I can't stress it enough: I love the family that runs this place. The grandma is incredibly friendly and extremely kind to us. We loved the complimentary sour yogurt and gesture with the grapes. The rest of the wait staff was fairly attentive, despite being extremely slow with everything from food to getting the check to even filling the our waters. Still, good service is one of the most critical elements of a business and thus, 3 stars. The vibe can be described as quaint but comfy. The seating arrangements are small enough for a casual date night in the neighborhood, but good enough for mini groups to feast as well. The mural on the wall is an interesting decor choice and I haven't seen a large crowd here apart from lunchgoers in the area. That's where the buck stops sadly. My pho dac biet was a disappointment with broth as dark as coffee and meat that was tough from being overcooked. I appreciated the fresh herb condiments but they didn't save the bowl. Pho ga was also a disaster with the same dark broth and chunks of chicken breast. Bun thit nuong was not much better. The pork was very underwhelming and the noodles were sparse. I think the cha gio were marginally better but I'm not even sure they're made in house. Banh xeo was easily the most disappointing since it was semi-soggy and the stuffing was also minimal. We didn't even apply the fish sauce and it was already falling apart. I realize that there's an audience for everyone, but I'm clearly not the target demo in this scenario. I may come back but not for a very long time.

When we were finished with order a young guy came out and asked if we had any questions. We said no, but a lady came up and asked for whipped cream. This was the beginning of a marathon session that I can only liken to a Saturday Night Live skit. The young guy explained you had to order it with your meal, the gues explained she didn't see it on the screen, .. it went ON & On. .. finally the woman said could you get it for me??? He. .. pretty much acts like "no", he could not. Telling her she had to order on screen. She had to pay for it. The seriously patient customer is going along with all of this. .. she was being SO patient! At one point the young man even starts to tell her that he doesn't think it s whipped cream. .. I m thinking surely there is a camera somewhere hidden. .. This truly has to be a joke?!! At this point, I m frustrated that I wasn't filming this UNBELIEVABLE scene. I had to quit listening. .. I did not time this interaction, but it definitely spanned several minutes! Eventually I saw the kid bring her the tiniest of tiny portion cups ( no lid) that I can only assume was whipped cream or whatever concoction the employee thought it to be. .. I m still in shock to have witnessed this absurd scene. After we sat for awhile a young female employee came out . .. a forefinger and middle finger each inside holding 2 cups in her fingers. She looks at our receipt and says did you have 1 or 2 drinks? My husband says 1, but I wanted water. She releases her finger from one cup and turns with one cup back to her spot behind the scenes, making no reply to my husband. I m wondering if she was on the phone with an earpiece? She spoke loudly in a language I did not understand for the majority of our visit. .. Eventually, my husband mentioned maybe music would be nice? Help muffle her loud constant chatter? At one point she did come out sweeping the floor for a few minutes, but the entire time we were there, I did not see anyone while tables or clean up at drink/condiment station that was messy and sticky. Amazingly, enough We LOVED THE CHICKEN WAFFLE SANDWICH! but this is a poorly run restaurant, that needs a staffing fix. .. I m truly guessing family run business. I m hoping for whoever owns this, that they catch on now & fix things before it s too late. With frustrating service, and my sanitation concerns. .. I will try maybe once more because it truly was good food. But if it isn't any better I will not return again & I don't think I m alone.

The waffles were okay. The fries were also just alright. One waffle sandwich was a ton of food, although I did finish it all (with difficulty). I would've been satisfied with just eating a half.

Both entrees pair well with the salad/eggroll that it comes with. Super quick service and ambiance is pretty much akin to what you'd expect in Eado.

Coming from back home where we have plenty of chicken spots, it reminded me a bit of Slim Chickens. My daughter was a huge fan of her chicken tender though she didn't enjoy the fries.

They share the space with Bol, which looks like an Indian food "make-your-own" bowl bar. I didn't try Bol personally but there are lots of options here if visiting with a group. Interior was very modern and clean. Lots of board games stocked. The occasional solicitor poked their head in but the vibes were good overall. Ordered via self-service so I didn't notice the actual human service too much, but it was prompt. I had the Kathi Roll, which was a fried chicken thigh strip rolled up with onions and sauce in a paratha. The chicken and sauce was flavorful, but the paratha was amazing and I wish I could have gotten a side of just the bread! "Delicious Sauce" was very good, mostly tasting like butter chicken sauce. I tried my friend's Balle Balle fries which were super flavorful, and washed it all down with a Mango Lassi. The lassi here is a bit turmeric-forward, which was fine by me, but could be noticeable to people who aren't used to it. I don't tolerate spice well so I was nervous what to expect, but the heat level was very tolerable. My spice-loving friends still found the food flavorful with a good heat level, so I don't think it was because it was too weak. Overall I found this to be a good spot to hang out with some friends over casual but flavorful food. - Ambiance: 4/5 - Food: 4/5 - Service: 5/5
