It used to be great but isn't so much anymore. I don't know if it has been a change in ownership or just management, but this place has circled the drain. We used to love this place for its authentic Thai food and wonderful service. Today, I made the grievous error of selecting to eat here over the hundreds of other Thai restaurants and the thousands of other restaurants from Torrance to Carson to Long Beach to downtown LA to Manhattan Beach. I wanted somewhere casual and easy. With the view this place had, I figured that since this place has been great in the past, it was a safe bet for our super chill anniversary dinner. NOPE! I was wrong! The crispy mango fish was supposed to have a lime based sauce. What was served was crispy sole in sugar water. In fairness, I have to say there there were fresh mangoes in the dish. The server never came by to check on the mess he left. Had he checked, I would have just requested limes to fix the dish myself and happily ate it. Instead, the longer I waited, the more irritated I got. When we finally flagged the server down to ask for limes or lemon or something, I was already disappointed. At least the girl bussing the table was super sweet and helpful when we asked for boxes ( gonna try to salvage the fish using the leftover curry) The one star is for her. At that point, I really just wanted to get out of there. The bill also took forever to be given after we requested it. This will likely be our last time there as we do not appreciate the changes that has been foisted on the place. There are tons of other Thai food places in this area. Check them out instead: Baramee, Jasmin, etc.Note to new owner/manager: you should have kept the old staff, who were awesome. Your new servers are not good…the girl busing was pretty awesome. I recommend going to other restaurants to learn the basics such as checking on the food delivered to the table.
