Big Breath!! I never like writing these type of reviews! Yet these also are required.
TWO major issues: This occurred the week of October 13th, I had been to La Mai Thai once for a take out, (later in this review). This time, as always, I entered, letting them know I was coming in with my Service dog!! In advance.
Aspen and I entered and immediately sat in the only booth, wooden. Aspen cuddles and sits down right next to me, as always. I requested a small bowl of water for her.
The waiter (?) kept going on about how he liked dogs, and they were amenable to dogs. I restated, she is a "Service Dog" as her red jacket states, please some water.
The same waiter came with a bit of water, and stated he was placing it on the floor, a table away from us. I requested, "please may I have the bowl, I will handle giving her the bowl"
"NO, it will sit over here on the floor, we like dogs, we understand about dogs.!"
Obviously he did not understand about service dogs, I arose, gave a nudge to my Service Dog to follow, and politely stated we would leave.
We walked quietly out the door, there were no other customers, open the back door for my Service Dog to jump in, lead off, and climbed into the driver side, started the car - ready to leave.
WOW!! The same man came to their door and started to scream at me, I could only see his behavior, with an angry face, and hearing the angry screams, not the words. I was astounded. There was no incidents, no barking, Aspen is quiet and sweet, we left without interruptions. But he continued to scream and posture.
To the take out months ago in the summer: I went in alone, this was my first time, and ordered some dish with tofu and a small appetizer. The restaurants is $$-$$$ but maybe really good. As I was paying, here came the TIP FACTOR!
TIPS FOR TAKE OUT: What do we do?? There is no service other than what a restaurant offers, FOOD from the kitchen. Do we tip due to a person bringing the food to the counter where we pay. I selected the 15%, enough and rather off putting.
The food was very GOOD!! The tofu was one of the best I have ever had!! I would return with my (!!!) Service Dog some day, since it was in the local of the Public Market and I love Asian food!
The food is good, just do not enter with a Service Dog!!!
Parking can be a issue, it is the busy section of Sheridan with many restaurants, Public Market and other businesses. We did not have time for photos!
