food court stall at Park Royal Mall. Supposed to be Thai food. I ate here because it reminded me of another food court Thai chain I used to like in a pinch.
But this place, is just down right bad. The first warning was that it was lunch hour and nobody was eating here - all the other stalls had lineups.
I ordered just about the most basic item on the menu for a Thai place - chicken pad thai.
Noodles - overdone
Sauce - bland, too sour, no depth of flavour. Tasted watery and nothing like actual pad thai.
dish was SOUPY - its like these people have never had an actual pad thai before.
Cooked in a wok, but may as well not have as there was zero char flavour in this like an actual pad thai should have.
Why is half the dish shredded carrots? Barely any bean sprouts or egg. The chicken portion is tiny.
No green onions.
Served with a small wedge of lemon - should be lime
I asked for extra spicy - tasted mild/medium at best.
Literally they got nothing right for a classic quick Thai dish.
Avoid at all costs. Your $16 is better spent virtually anywhere else.
I suppose the lady who took my order was nice enough. But thats not enough to earn more than 1 star. Ambiance doesnt really count here since its just a food court and this business has nothing to do with the common seating area maintenance.
I dont expect much from a food court stall. Certainly I dont expect the quality of a thai restaurant, or anything remotely close to the pad thai in Bangkok, even on the streets. But this is simply not pad thai. read more
