Thai (Lack of) Passion :(

Don't eat at Thai Passion. Here's why:

I actually went here a few weeks ago after a couple year boycott. I couldn't remember why I was boycotting them, but was certainly reminded.

Dinner time. Typical day. Nothing special. Just hungry after shopping at the San Marcos outlets with a friend.

Notice I said nothing special? Thai Passion is certainly NOTHING special. We went to the location in the South Park Meadows shopping center off of I35. Want to know what was wrong?

• Bad service (Maybe an understatement. There was barely any service at all.)
• Slow service (I refer you to the above statement.)
• Dirty cups
• Dirty utensils
• Poor lighting

Don't get me wrong now. The food was just alright. It wasn't anything special either. I've just had MUCH better Thai food... I could probably make much better Thai food myself.

I ordered tom kha soup and chicken pad thai. The soup was the best part. It was sour & spicy and made from coconut milk, lemon grass, and chicken. The pad thai was bland and boring. There was no disguising it. Plus, the lime was not squeezable!! That irked me the most!

I also noticed that they proudly displayed an Austin Chronicle that rated them as the best Thai food at some point. This has to be a hilarious joke. Even Madam Mam's Thai food and service is a million times better (that is saying a lot considering my bad experience at MM's).

Thomas' Ranking: 4.5 out of 10.

Pretty picture, but there was something floating in the water...

(LOOK! You can't even squeeze the lime!)
