I recently returned from a month in Thailand and my eighth visit. I have a deep understanding and respect for the culture. I also know the basic items for an authentic Thai menu. When I made a simple request in fluent Thai for Po Ka Taek the rudest owner I've ever met didn't even look at me and just snapped ""no"". I asked if he would just make Po Taek from the menu and add a bit of coconut milk. He snapped ""no"". I asked for Som Tam..(Papaya Salad - Thai Staple....Available in the Thai Convenince Store (good real cheap! Just opened restaurant on Cavalcade)) ""no"" Yam Talay salad? No. Asia Market will whip it right up for you. I was wearing a handmade peasant shirt from Chiang Mai in the north out of respect for him. This being a birthday party for my roommate, I maintained composure and just didn't order anything. The food I had the previous visit was marginal at best. Anyone who patronizes this ting-tong monster is nuts. Try Thai Gourmet on Richmond. The lovely hostess will greet you with a traditional ""wai""; the cook will prepare any dish (and yes the above items are available). \r

The final straw was when the 9th of our party arrived late just a few minutes past close. He asked if there was anything quick and easy he could have to eat. Not ""no"" but ""no!""\r

I have never been compelled to write a review and never been to such a horrible restaurant.\r

One star is too good,. I showed him he palm of my hand which is like spitting in his face and patting him on the head. BAD BAD BAD\r
