I did say that I was wanting to do reviews of products and other things so here's my first wack at it. I'll be reviewing take-out based on food and value. If we eat at the restaurant I'll include ambiance and service. All categories will be out of 5 and I will have an over all average score.
Pad Thai Restaurant - Pitt Meadows 2.0 / 5
Food 2.5 / 5
Value 1.0 / 5
What did we order? 1 order Pad Thai and 1 Order Yellow Curry with Chicken (side of rice)
Cost? $29.05
Why the score? Look, I'm no expert on Thai food BUT I do know that Pad Thai should never look or taste like there is ketchup on or around it. It was way too sweet, the tails were left on the shrimp (huge pet peeve of mine - if anyone knows of a valid reason why they do this other than utter laziness please comment below) and all the noodles were stuck together like it had been in the fridge and reheated. The Yellow Curry was also too sweet, very little spiciness to it and it was lacking substance. In the curry was chicken, green peppers and very few potato chunks. I've had much better Thai food elsewhere - ie: "All Thai'd Up" in Port Coquitlam (best Thai food around for about the same price.) You know there's a problem when the best part of the meal is the side dish of rice. Thoughts?
If anyone knows of a better Thai food place in the Pitt Meadows/Maple Ridge area please let me know!
Curry and Coconut Milk,
