So, we've done take-out a lot and eaten in less. After last night's experience, however, we'll never patronize this restaurant again.<BR/><BR/>We phoned ahead (without a menu in-hand) to order "fresh spring rolls" (the way we've ordered at dozens of Thai restaurants in numerous cities around the country). We didn't notice until we came home that the rolls we received were fried. When we called back to say there'd been a mistake and we'd like to bring these back for the kind we wanted, the woman on the phone knew immediately what the problem was, explaining that Tom Yum's "fresh rolls" are called "Salad Rolls" (a fact she hadn't bothered to mention when we ordered). Then she argued with us that it was our fault, saying, "You ordered wrong!"<BR/><BR/>Our feeling is that if it's worth losing a customer over a $4.50 order of spring rolls, we'd rather take our business to someone who cares about making their customers happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929452796034733044.post-51918783352086925532008-04-16T14:32:00.000-07:002008-04-16T14:32:00.000-07:00We also live close-by, and while perhaps not the v...We also live close-by, and while perhaps not the very best Thai food in town, the food is always very good. With the low prices, large portions, and close proximity we rarely ever go anywhere else for Thai food. Not a destination spot, but if you are in the neighborhood and need casual dining, or better yet something to-go, be sure and check it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6929452796034733044.post-22455538279294671612007-04-19T10:57:00.000-07:002007-04-19T10:57:00.000-07:00My #1 destination Thai place is Typhoon. #2 is Swe...My #1 destination Thai place is Typhoon. #2 is Sweet Basil. If we don't feel like waiting for a table, then we go to E-san (the new North Portland location).<BR/><BR/>For lunch, Thai Go in Pioneer Place is actually pretty good. I would recommend the Green Curry or the Massaman Curry and the Thai Iced tea. They have a frequent eaters card.<BR/><BR/>At my old job, I would go to the D&N Thai cart that's across the street from St. Mary's. You have to wait a long time if you don't call your order in but everything is around $5 and they give you a ton plus a free bottle of water. Not to mention, it's really really good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019717648366136984noreply@blogger.com
