ReviewsA Thin Pan for a Thin Appetite My wife and I decided to try this restaurant Saturday night (08/02/03). The atmosphere seemed cozy and the prices reasonable for this particular area ($7-$10 range). My wife and I decided to try this restaurant Saturday night (08/02/03). The atmosphere seemed cozy and the prices reasonable for this particular area ($7-$10 range). After a polite greeting, we sat around a narrow rectangular table that seems that barely room for our elbows. Our order consisted of a Thai ice tea ($2.25), a Spinach Wrap ($7.45) and Thai chicken dish ($8.25). After waiting about 15 minutes, the Spinach Wrap came and...Ooooh my goodness!...We did not know how to respond to our surprise! The Spinach wrap consisted of 8 spinach leaves (about 1.5 inches in diameter) spread out at the edges of a 15-inch plate. Inside each leaf was some dried onion flakes and a tiny piece of lime. In the center of the plate was a tiny bowl filled with honey and coconut flakes. The menu advertised 6 different ingredients in that "Wrap" and supposedly included shrimps. My wife's first reaction was: "Where are the shrimps?" As for me, I was still waiting for the waiter to bring the Wraps. I thought it was some kind of appetizer that came with this $7.45 dish. After pouring some honey-coconut sauce on the dried onions placed inside this spinach leaf, my stomach started worrying about our next dish. If this is the Wraps they were advertizing, what was going to be the Thai chicken dish? One 1.5-inch piece of chicken and a couple of slice of onions and red peppers? Unfortunately, I was not far from the truth. We had to wait another 10 minutes to get the second dish (It looks like, they were bringing only one dish at a time. One eats, the other wait, looking around, drooling...). When the Thai chicken arrived, there was now no doubt in my mind, I was still going to be hungry after shelling out $21 (taxes included). The portion was so tiny (rice bowl size) that my wife decided to take only two bites out of it. Both rice bowls were the size of a regular Ice scream scoop, She felt so sorry for me that she let me eat most of it. What topped it off is that the rice bowls were not included with the baby plate of chicken, we had to pay an extra $2. I had to laugh... I had been ripped off before, but never so bluntly and with the smile. 8 spinach leaves with dried onions flakes for $8 (incl. Taxes). I don't think it won't come to a surprise when that business owner closes doors. Food Rating [2/10] Service Rating [2/10] Ambiance Rating [6/10]
