    Missing an "s" hanging inside the Resturant

    Biggest problem was waiting FOREVER for our food once they finally came to take our order. There was only a party of 4 outside when we got there and one couple was seated while we were waiting to be seated. They couldn't figure out how to seat 5 people and made us wait even though no one was inside and only 2 tables being used outside. Food finally came and I had to send back my food 3x to have them cook the bean sprouts. Presentation looks nice but it's the first time I had a pad Thai variant and everything was separate from peanuts to raw bean sprouts. 3rd time the waitress came back and said there was some already cooked into the dish so they took away the raw. They mixed the peanuts and tofu into the noodle and that was their fix. It was never cooked together and 5 small 3/4" cubes of tofu (cheapest item) topped the dish. Our son ordered the beef pho dish - almost a half serving of noodle, 4 pieces of tough chewy meat? Broth bland and some uncooked bean sprouts once again. Our other son got sick after eating yellow curry with chicken. Wife had green curry and pork - no lie 4/5 thin small strips of pork and just lots of liquid in the bowl Very disappointing meal - place filled up and everyone was sitting no order taken no food given. They left the bill on our table with their handheld scanner and never even came back to collect it, let alone ask if we wanted dessert. P.S. noticed suv pull up with black shirt/pants worker come out (dressed same as the wait staff here) and carried heavy handle bag of food to put in back seat - almost as if they made 50 lbs or rice and threw it into a bag and their other Resturant picked it up?? Never again and we would eat at the Indian Resturant across the street. Oh and your sign is not spelled properly ‍

    First off, Cil was out waitress, AMAZING!!! We loved the food and there were options for almost all dietary restrictions, including vegan and vegetarian. Everything came out fast and every staff member was very attentive and friendly. There were a few things honestly that were not the absolute best, but that was totally overlooked by everything else. I have no real complaints and would love to come back here. (pic: my partner sipping his bowl clean)

    Seafood Lover (Pho & Thai Tea)

    We sat outdoor for dinner. My daughter's Pho was very good. My husband's Drunken Noodle got thumbs up too. My Seafood Lover had a great flavored sauce; shrimps, squids, scallops and mussels (and veggies) were all tender, unfortunately the lobster tail was a bit over cooked and chewy (someone else in our party felt the same way). We are also more used to sweet and stronger Thai tea. Waitresses were very nice but some seemed to be inexperienced, especially when inquired about the lobster. Overall we liked our food at this restaurant and would go again trying other dishes.

    Sticky Mango Rice

    So I was a bit surprised that the yelp review for this place was so low. The Pad Thai was the best pad Thai that my party had in over 20 years. We also got the Thai basil chicken and the pad see ew which were alright. The bok choy pork belly was not bad at all and the dumplings were probably my least favorite but still okay. I think the biggest thing is the menu is huge and it is best to stick with the traditional Thai cuisine menu options when ordering. The Thai ice tea was good and they also have dessert mango sticky rice which was good. Overall this is a must come if you like pad Thai

    This restaurant is off Cottage Street on Rodick. The reviews aren't too high, but I think it depends on what you're looking for. My wife and daughter wanted to have a late lunch and eat something spicy. This is one of the few Asian restaurants in town within walking distance from Mount Desert and Main. It is not a fancy restaurant, but a great spot to visit if you need to eat some rice and Asian food. The people are friendly. However, on a busy night during peak season, I can imagine that this restaurant can get pretty packed. We stopped in at the local supermarkets, and saw very few Asian food ingredients. I doubt you will be able to find anything better in town.

    thai iced tea

    The food was really good and there were a lot of good vegetarian options. It is one of the better resteraunt in Bar Harbor. The service was really good and the staff was friendly. The ambiance was also good and it was nice to sit down in.

At least there was the requisite slice of lime & siracha was on the table But the wait!? Almost an hour to get those two dishes. The hostess/server's attitude swung between totally oblivious & condescending. We asked for a ladle to move the big bowl's contents into each individual's bowl & were icily told that they didn't have anything for customer use. You can imagine how tedious it was to try to fill two individual bowls using Asian spoons and a lone tablespoon. What were these people thinking opening a restaurant?

This time I had the lunch which comes with soup, salad, 2 appraisers and the main meal choice. Sounds like a good deal right??! The soup and salad cone in cups so small I don't know where they found them, it was actually comical. The appraiser was a spring roll (which was good) and a shumi. The shumi app was literally one tiny dumpling the size of the tip of my thumb. Ummm.... For the main course I got the butternut squash curry and asked for it at a level 2 when she asked me how hot on a scale of 1-5. It was so hot I could not eat it. Had my partner try it and he could not either. It also came with just 3 shrimp. For $19. My partner had fried rice with chicken and apps of chicken sauté and a spring roll. He said the chicken sauté was ridiculously small and not good. I tried his rice and thought it was good, but that was the only winner in the meal for the $50 for lunch.

Schezuan lo menu was average, noodle wasn't too soggy. Questionable shrimp. Roast pork with vegetables and mushroom, recommended by the person who took our order, was mild.
