We heard great things about the pad thai but it wasn't nearly worthy of its $15 price tab or the attitude given to us for politely questioning the taste (salty, bland). I'm not claiming to be a pad thai expert, but I've lived in Thailand and eaten plenty in my day- different taste by different chefs I get that...
But instead of trying anything to satisfy a disappointed customer the owner/chef yelled loud enough from the kitchen to the waitress " they don't like it too bad they dont have to eat here" (waitress was nice by the way). On the way out some additional sarcastic sympathy was a nice touch - Karma indeed.
I'm never one to leave reviews, in fact this is my first.
I drove up there for my birthday for the 3rd time in a row. Always been up for dinner. Went up March 10 for lunch. Most of the food was not properly seasoned or prepared. Bland and did not eat most of it. Unhappy with most of the food and won't go back. If Karma hires someone to cook for him for lunch he needs to get someone who can cook.
Very surprised at a negative review for Karma Cafe. we had a great experience, food was excellent, I had the chicken Satay and my wife had the beef (cant remember name of it but it started with an "f" it that helps) it was amazing, full of flavour. Had a nice selection of different beers and our veg.rolls were great. Wife doesn't like Cilantro so they made the roll without. Atmosphere was cozy and the service was perfect. Prices were more than fair and you can tell the food is fresh...hard to find restaurants who serve fresh food lately...Karma does. Really enjoyed our evening and we'll be back.
Because we are a family of travellers we have been exposed to many different cultures and the food that is associated with them. Thai food is a family favorite and we were looking forward to trying out a "new restaurant" based not only on the reviews noted on this site but having seen a television show which show cased this particular restaurant. I can honestly say that this was not what we had expected. The restaurant's ambiance was so-so, but I will say the server we had was very attentive to our needs, (but I should add that there were only two other people there for lunch), but the food was sub-par. The servings were in fact very small, the pad thai lacked any type of "zing" it was very bland in fact. There is only one menu, not a lunch/dinner difference and if we were to receive these serving portions for dinner I can say that we would be leaving the restaurant hungry. Very expensive for what we received, example- Butter chicken, did not contain enough chicken to be classified as a breast, in a tortilla shell, rice and salad, cost was $12.99, pad thai with chicken was $14.99, not a lot of noodles and again very little flavor. The whole experience was disappointing, would I recommend, no, would I go back, NEVER.
