I went to Thai Tom last night with two of my girlfriends. We were told the wait would be 20 minutes, to we went across the street to Buffalo Exchange to browse while we waited. 15 minutes later, we went back. Suddenly our wait time was 20 MORE minutes. After those minutes were up... yes, you guessed it... there was another 20 minutes. We realized the host was seating people who hadn't been waiting as long as us, and it was only because of a nice guy's admission of this that we were seated when we were.
We ordered the spring rolls, panang curry with tofu, and poorman noodles with tofu. Everything was absolutely delicious, and TOTALLY worth waiting 60 minutes to be seated for. The portions are large and the 2 stars is just right for people who like heat but don't want to catch fire. For those three dishes our total was about 22 dollars.
But then came the food poisoning. I'm not sure how they managed this... seeing as we ordered tofu! Not meat. But about 3 hours after eating I was vilely ill and I still feel drained and nauseated. Both my friends got upset stomachs, but neither of them were as sick as I was.
In conclusion... It was an okay experience. The food tasted good, but next time I'll pass. It's not worth being doubled over in pain.
