I've been a few times in the past few years, always for takeout and love the food. I had kind of forgotten about it recently until I read this post, so last week I went and tried something new to me, the Khao Soi. It was excellent and prepared promptly. It was so good I went back again this week and unfortunately had a bad service experience. I arrived for takeout, the store was busy, but they took my order promptly. I was told 10 minutes. I went for a walk and came back 10 minutes later. The staff seemed very harried and there were almost 20 take-out containers of food stacked on a table by the cash. I asked if my order was ready, but was told no. I waited another 10 minutes, then someone else arrived who had a large take-out order. The staff still hadn't finished it and I waited another 5 minutes for them to do that. Again I asked if mine was ready and they looked at the table with lots of containers on it and said yes. They got a bag and put a container that had been sitting on the counter the entire 15 I was there waiting and packaged it up for me. I couldn't believe it. Of course it was cold. I don't understand what happened. I am reluctant to go back again.
Haven't been but meaning to try...in the meantime, the owners opened a new, more sitdown-ish restaurant last year:
