How's that old saying go? The grass is always greener on the other side... Well, I guess that goes for the curry here as well. It's greener across the street.
Thai food in Atlanta is like life... It's one disappointment after another. One would think this joint would age tastefully through the years, but have you ever seen what old people eat? Mush. And everything sure was mushy.
Don't get me wrong, the owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Mama-Chai (whom does not have any offspring) has the memory of an elephant. She can tell you what you ate and the color of your underpants from 3 years ago. Uncanny. But colored underpants doesn't make the food taste any better... Well, unless they're edible undies.
Basil Rolls - Run of the mill rolls that most people wouldn't even noticed the difference if they were polished turds. It is what it is... Filler.
Coco Fowl Soup - WTF is this... part coconut, part chicken, 100% cuckoo. Pizzeria red pepper flakes does nothing to spice things up. It was like a warm slushee.
Jade (Green) Curry w/ Beef - Asked for Super Thai Hot and all I got was Super Thai Slop. Once again, the secret ingredient (red pepper flakes) doesn't make it any spicier or greener... It was kinda like a muddy slurry. A few slivers of meat and a FOB load of canned bamboo shoots. WTF, I know Asians all look alike but do I look like a giant fucking panda to you? The white rice was spot on... It was in a bowl.
Pad Thai w/ Softshell Crab - Sounds interesting, right? Yeah, as interesting as watching my pubes grow. The noodles were wet and not very flavorful. The crab was ok... Let's just say you don't want to catch any of these. A very pedestrian version at best.
Would I put this place on my Bucket List? Hell no... More like on my Fuckit List.
2 stars for the grub. +1 star for super groovy Mama Chai.
Pump...
Eh, you know the rest.
