Great Thai

by ABuzzard at Citysearch

I went to Wave Thai on Wed. and loved it! It was a warm, breezy day and the big front door was open, the fountain at the front was bubbling away and it was very calm and pleasant as I made my way to the table. I eat Thai once every week or so and I always order the same thing if it is a new place to judge it against previous experiences and the dish I order is Sweet Basil Chicken. I have to say it was the best one out of at least 30 other restaurants I've tried. It had a complexity of flavor and was the perfect spiciness unlike some of the other places I've tried where it is sometimes watered down and rather lackluster. The service was attentive and friendly and the owner even came out and chatted for a while. He has a great vibe and is very easy going and this is evident in the ambience when he is on the floor. In fact I have been back a second time already and it was just as good as the first time. I'm not really sure if the two previous reviewers were eating at Wave Thai or maybe one of the other Thai restaurants in the area because there reviews are hardly believable and somewhat vile and nasty...maybe a competitor in the area?! I work in the restaurant industry and manage a rather large restaurant in the city so I know this type of negative reviewing is not uncommon amongst competing restaurants. I say give it a shot and see for yourself, I have a feeling you will not be disappointed!

• Pros: Great Food, Ambience, and a Welcoming Owner

Not good thai

by AlexGo at Citysearch

This was really a very poor example of thai food. The spices were almost undetectable and the food did not taste fresh.It was obvious just by the menu choices that this was an americanized version of asian cuisine totally lacking any authentic resemblance to real thai food. This restaurant is

a complete disappointment and is not worth the effort to visit.

P.S. ditch the cute wavy utensils they are uncomfortable to use and just amplify the gimmicky and fake ambience of this very mediocre restaurant.

• Pros: good service
• Cons: Very poor ingredients and preparation

Not Good

by shattyfoody at Citysearch

We've ordered a couple times from Wave Thai and the Curry Puff and the Appetizers are generally good. The Stir Fry entrees are also ok. BUT there is a Pork Loin Special that has a sauce that smells like a fecal pool. It was so disgusting that I almost threw up in the togo container. The Pad Thai also had the stench of a public restroom. I would never order from this place again.

• Cons: Food smells like toilet
