    Boiled chicken breast. Supposed to be khao man khai
    Rocky B.

    I believe Tea Rose is under new ownership, but unfortunately, the quality has really declined. As shown in the photo, this is just plain boiled chicken breast--definitely not proper Khao Man Gai. It didn't even come with the usual side of soup. For the price, the portion was really small, and I left feeling both hungry and disappointed.

    I was surprised to find this place today...I didn't know that there is a Thai restaurant in the parking lot of Planet Gym or Burlington! It's a cute little restaurant in the middle of a busy marketplace with nice seating arrangements inside. We ordered 3 items to-go: Pho w/ Stewed Beef, Chicken Pad Thai & Chasew Nut w/ Tofu rice bowl. It took only 10 mins for out food to get ready which I thought was very impressive. However, I did not like the tastes of the dishes that much but that's my personal preference. I'm planning on going back again to try more items and their drinks.

    There are three tables in the restaurant that seat four people each and a counter where probably four more could sit. When we were there at lunchtime about seven people cycled through. Service was fairly efficient and fast. We waited about five minutes to order and about 10 minutes for our food. Service was friendly. The food was delicious and the servings huge. We each had enough for another meal. With two entrees, two fountain drinks ($3 each with refills), and cream cheese wontons, our bill came to about $39. We will be back!

    Rating (maximum points = 5) Value for money: 4 Cleanliness: 4 Food Quality: 3 Customer Service: 3 Look and Feel (Ambiance): 3 Thank you, Come Again?: 3 Tucked away beside the Capriotti's sandwich shop on 6014 S State Street, Tea Rose Thai Express is a quick-service restaurant that serves home style Thai meals. Plastered all over the building are signs notating that they offer drive-thru services. Unfortunatley my partner and I have tried on at least 3 occasions and have come across a non-serviceable window. A menu is no longer displayed next to the drive-thru window and makes it impossible for customers to know what is available to order unless they physically go inside. Reccomendation for the restaurant is to either update/add back the menu and offer drive-thru services again, or just remove that option completely. My partner and I gave up on the drive-thru and went inside after 5 minutes of waiting at the window and no customer service. Curry Puff - The homemade fried flaky pastry has robust curry flavor and a crunchy crispy exterior. This appetizer dish was priced at $5.20 and came with a cucumber vinegerette style sauce. It's a little pricey for two triangle pastries but I understand the labor that goes into making them. The oil on the pastry unfortunatley tasted rancid but the filling was pleasant. Tom Kar - This coconut soup was delicious and full of mushrooms and chicken. The price of the flavorful soup was $12.48. It was a tasty soup but got too sour after 3 bites. Pad Thai - I was looking forward to trying this dish but unfortunately the rice noodles were overcooked and the sauce was on the sweet side. The dish came to be $12.48. Yellow Curry - this dish was the sweetest one of all. I could taste the curry flavor but all I could think of was too much sugar. I'm not sure if the $12.48 we spent on this dish was worth it. Thai Iced Tea and Boba - The Thai Tea was refreshing and had good tea flavor. Skip the tapioca pearls. They were hard and didn't have much flavor. The drink is priced at $6.00. Overall, I'm not sure if I'd returned but I'm glad i was still able try out their food after multiple failed trips through their "drive-thru". Would you go? Let me know. Follow me for all the Salt City sips and trips.

    I was so excited to see a takeout Thai place as I was just passing by and had to check it out. Probably not the very best pad see ew I've had but it definitely a solid 3-4 stars. The noodles were a little soft but the flavor was quite good. I will definitely be back.

    Green Curry

    The food here is every bit as good as Tea Rose. This is the best kept secret in Utah apparently as I sat by myself for my meal, but it was very enjoyable. I ordered the green curry with chicken and it was creamy, a hint of sweet, and spicy with perfectly crisp and fresh veggies. Absolutely delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough, but also love having it to myself. You have to come here.

Sometimes I eat here two days in a row because it's just that good. The restaurant recently opened their doors to all ages which is a huge plus. But kids can only eat inside the restaurant (patio seating is 21+). Today, my family had the "DK Experience" which is a six course meal that feeds 4-6 people. It was PLENTY of food and everything was delicious. You do not need to order anything extra because it is a good amount of food. The best part is the duck - so flavorful and beautifully cooked. We spent about 2 hours here as each course is made to order, so be aware of that if you're also ordering the DK Experience. My favorite dish here is the Three cup chicken. The flavor has so much depth and is beautiful seasoned. Be sure to visit during their lunch happy hour for the best deals in town. Thank you Drunken Kitchen for cooking up the best Chinese food in SLC - see you next time!

I told her it was my first visit so she reviewed the menu and gave me a few recommendations. Unfortunately the experience went downhill from here. I was dining with a friend for an early lunch. We ordered the pork pot stickers to share. Then we also ordered sticky ribs, chicken sando and egg drop soup. The server took our order and returned promptly with our drinks. After some time passed the server returned to inform us the ribs were sold out and provided us with a menu to look at other options. A little more time passed and then more bad news the egg drop soup was also out of stock. We declined on ordering anything else and I asked if my chicken sando was still coming and was told yes it's on it's way. Meanwhile we watched three other tables arrive and place orders and even receive their food and yet my chicken sando was still missing. I flagged down our server and again was told my chicken was coming. Another 15 minutes passed and still not sandwich. I politely flagged down our server and requested the check as our lunch experience had gone on for over an hour now and still our food was incomplete. We got an apology and the bill and began to exit. As we were leaving the server arrived at our table with a takeout bag with my chicken sando. I'm not sure what was happening on this visit but something felt very off at the Drunken Kitchen. First impressions are very important especially in a dining experience and this first impression was not good at all.

The food also comes out pretty quickly, which is always a plus. There were a couple of frustrations with this visit, though. They had flyers on the tables advertising their new Dino Ramen, and the flyer stated that you could get free ice cream with any Dino Ramen OR any other bowl of ramen. When we went to get the free ice cream, we were told the offer was only valid with the Dino Ramen and that the "any bowl of ramen" offer was only available at their other location. That was pretty confusing considering the flyer was sitting right on our table at this location. If the promotion is different depending on the location, they really need to make that clear on the flyer or not have those flyers out. Service was okay. The food came out quickly, but there wasn't much checking in afterward. We had to go out of our way to ask for things like refills or anything else we needed. Despite those issues, I really enjoy the ramen here, especially the Spicy Tonkotsu and hand pulled noodles, so I'll keep coming back. I just hope they improve the communication around their promotions and become a little more attentive with service.

Service has never been anything short of stellar & this is coming from someone who has been a regular since the 90s. Decades without a single bad experience in food or service.

    Disappointing Experience - Food Quality & Service…read more I've been to Mi La Cai Noodle House before, but unfortunately, my most recent experience was very disappointing. I ordered the wonton soup, and the pork wontons did not taste right to me. I let the gentleman who was helping us know about the issue, and he told me, "Let me see with my manager what I can do for you." To be clear, I wasn't asking them to take the soup off my bill or give me anything for free. I simply wanted to see if they could provide a little more meat so I could finish my bowl. I thought that was a reasonable request, especially since I had already explained that the pork wontons didn't taste right. Unfortunately, the gentleman never came back to our table, and the manager never stopped by or spoke with us at all. We ended up paying the full bill, and no one even apologized or offered any kind of resolution. When the host later asked how everything was, I explained that the wonton soup wasn't as good as I expected. She simply said, "Oh, sorry." While I understand that mistakes happen, it felt like a very dismissive response, especially after we had already brought the issue to their attention. I honestly feel like the food quality at this restaurant has gone downhill. What disappointed me even more was the lack of customer service and follow-through. If a customer takes the time to politely bring up an issue, I would expect someone from management to at least come to the table and address it. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be coming back. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously because I used to have a much better impression of the food and service.

The two stars are for the management, not the employees. We came in for lunch on a Saturday, and the dining room was unbearably hot. It honestly felt like eating in an indoor sauna. At first, we thought the AC was broken. After asking about it, we were told that the staff couldn't adjust the AC without the owner's approval, and the owner was out of town. I can't verify whether that's actually the policy, but if that's what happened, it's hard to understand why no one could make the restaurant comfortable for both customers and the employees working there--especially considering how hot it's been lately. That experience left a really bad impression. If saving on air conditioning was the reason, I think that's a poor decision that comes at the expense of everyone's comfort. While writing this review, I also noticed another google review from someone who said they had concerns about how management treated employees. I can't speak to their experience, but combined with what I experienced, it doesn't leave me with much confidence. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be coming back
