ReviewsThe nastiest food Ive ever been served Being new to Auburn, CA my fiancee and myself have been trying different restaurants in town. Tonight we tried out David's Thai Cuisine. Although it didn't look like much from outside ya never know what might be that hidden gem. The Harley sweatshirted waitress directed us to take any table "with two seats", there were no other patrons in the restaurant. We ordered a couple of beers and noted there were no Oriental people in the kitchen. We ordered a chicken and noodle dish and a stir fried vegetarian dish with rice, one of which came with the house soup. Within a short time our soup was delivered. A salty concoction of way over-cooked cabbage in some sort of fishy broth. We began to worry. Within 5 (yes very fast) minutes our order was delivered to the table. Both dishes looked identical, in fact, they were. The chicken dish did have chicken in it, the veggie dish did have some mushrooms. Both were comprised basically of cabbage and what were obviously Top Romin noodles and more than an abundant amount of salt. We explored...tried different pieces...looked for a bright side...and gave up. I went to the register to pay for the food I did order. We were asked if we were satisfied to which I replied "no" and asked if they used Top Romin noodles. The guy replied he "didn't cook there and was not sure" We were asked if we wanted the food packaged to go...Ummm...."no". I assume it was the owner who approached and ask if we did not like the food, I told him it was all just too salty and we didn't care for the food. I asked him if they used Top Romin noodles he muttered something about what type they were, turned and walked away. We were offered no apologies, no discount and were rang up for $30 for food I know my dog wouldn't touch. My appetite being ruined, I drove towards home. As the metallic after taste from the single piece of chicken and the one single noodle I ate grew in my mouth, so did my anger, mostly at myself for agreeing to pay for that swill and leaving a tip to boot.

Food Rating [2/10] Service Rating [4/10] Ambiance Rating [4/10] Gawdawful...This is not like any Thai youve tried I've been a fan of Thai food for more than 15 years, and have eaten hundreds of such meals, so I can say with some confidence that this is the WORST THAI FOOD I have ever eaten. My favorite recipes were served up inedibly. I've been a fan of Thai food for more than 15 years, and have eaten hundreds of such meals, so I can say with some confidence that this is the WORST THAI FOOD I have ever eaten. My favorite recipes were served up inedibly. We started with a coconut-chicken-lemongrass-galanga soup (usually called Tom Kah Gai). Unfortunately, this version tasted as if it were made with undissolved wheat flour particles for thickening and vinegar for "tanginess." Uggh. The chicken bits were undercooked (though plentiful); I don't recall seeing a single mushroom. When we sent it back as not fit for eating, the waitress told us "no refunds," "we're not responsible for your dining choices," "you order it, you pay for it," and "Please don't take it out on me in the tip." She sounded as if she'd practiced this speech before. Hmmm.... We followed with a red curry that tasted predominantly sweet (not what we think of as Thai curry) and pad thai (rice noodles with peanut sauce and shrimp), which was at least bearable. The decor, plates, cutlery, glasses, reflected the cast-offs that a remodeled Denny's might have donated to charity ten years ago. Poor customer service, bad decor, and "Thai food" that bears little resemblance to actual Thai food.... so bad it was surreal. We were left wondering how a place like this can possibly stay in business, since we couldn't imagine anyone coming back a second time. As for us, we wish we'd walked out.
