Whether the owners admit it or not, they have a sugar problem. I have observed that it varies from night to night, which makes me think it depends on who is in the kitchen. Since the food is at times quite good, I have not stopped eating there, but I always specify "Don't add sugar to my food beyond the minimum amount needed for authentic Thai flavor." When I spot the manager, I state my request to him personally in the (apparently vain) hope of influencing the behavior of the kitchen personnel in the long run. In the short run, MY food is almost never too sweet. Their eggplant with roasted chili paste is delicious when not ruined by excess sugar. Their "royal curry," (yellow curry chicken) is only slightly too sweet, and is of the potato style without pineapple. A real gem is their red curry salmon, truly delicious in its own right, and one of the few salmon preparations available in any Thai restaurant I've ever been in.
Pros: location, friendly staff, many wine selections (some apt), salmon on menu
Cons: the food is too sweet and they don't seem to care. Maybe Americans want candy food now, in which case we deserve what we get.
