My experience with Thai Pastry left much to be desired. Let's start with the positive. The decor here is nice, very colorful and clean. Atmosphere was nice, but the low-key EDM soundtrack was questionable, at best. Our server was a sweet older woman, who was very attentive and happy to give recommendations.
The menu prices for basic dishes are almost 50% more than comparable restaurants in the area. I don't mind at all paying more if the quality is deserving, but this was definitely not the case. We ordered the pastry rolls, pad thai, and massaman curry. Pastry rolls were lacking in ingredients, for $7 I expect more than just basil, bean sprouts and a few carrot shavings. Pad thai erred on the sweeter side and did not have any spice. The most eggregious offender was the curry. Curry was extremely bland, was served lukewarm, and was even less spicy than the pad thai. I found myself adding hot sauce and soy sauce after every bite. I'm not extremely familiar with thai dishes but surely an $11 curry deserves more, no? Minus one star for the food, and that's being extremely generous.
The last bitter taste in left in my mouth was the billing. When we gave our server our credit cards, we discovered that there was actually another differently and lower priced check that was on the bottom, which she quickly hid away. Regardless of whether that one was wrong or not, that was a bit shady. Instead of splitting our bill evenly down the middle, we found out that they rounded the check price up by more than a dollar for an even split. I should have spoken up, but at that point I just wanted to get out of there. Absolutely unacceptable business practice. Picture of receipts includes. Minus two stars.
I cannot recommend this restaurant to anyone, there are many other restaurants within one block that are much more deserving of your money. Will not be coming here again.
