Thai Deli

Absolutely sensational Thai tonight! I have a seafood allergy and they made sure everything was perfect and labelled no seafood. Such a relief! We ordered the crispy tofu - it was delicious, as were the spring rolls and chicken pad see ew was absolutely amazing. So fresh, so much flavour and the chicken fried rice was so good. A little on the $$$ side of Thai but it was worth every cent.

Dined in and had to wait over 30 minutes for meal even though only 9 other people seated inside. I had to enquire at counter twice where my meal was and the young lady didn't seem to be empathetic or genuinely sympathetic. I ordered the Siamese Fried Rice and when the meal came, it was such a small serving and was soggy and not what I expected a fried rice to be. I took my first mouthful and thought I had a bone in my meal - instead it was a 3cm nail. I took my meal to the counter and showed the young lady and 2 male cooks. One cook turned his wok over and said it had fallen out of the handle. Only then did the young lady (and cook) show more interest in me and said sorry and offered to make a new meal for me. I asked for a refund and received it. I did not want a replacement meal for a potentially new soggy fried rice. That nail could've damaged my teeth, gums, tongue or roof of mouth. It could've caused me medical expenses and lost days at work. The staff/owner should've been more sympathetic rather than being dumbfounded. They could've offered more than a replacement meal but if they had've, I still wouldn't have accepted it (cash or food). I have no intentions of ever returning to this restaurant. Given my type of work allows me to recommend dining locations in Melbourne, I will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone and its not just because of the nail. FYI, the meal didnt taste anything like Thai flavours. My dining partner ordered a Pad See Eiw and that too had no Thai flavour either.
