Thai Canteen - Davis (CA)

2 /5 Sherry: Kao Nar Bpet was my favorite dish in this store. However, for both my order from April and today, the duck meat was overcooked! I ordered only once after the April, due to the bad experience. But today I was thinking they may be better now, so I ordered again. However, very disappointed! Below are the pictures for both orders to prove my words. If they can’t maintain the quality of the food, like 2 of 3 orders are overcooked, they should remove this dish from their menu. Especially, for healthy, it’s not recommended to eat overcooked meat. So not only my money is wasted, but I also have to find something else for the dinner. I heard from other people that they changed their chef and also find food doesn’t taste as good as before.

5 /5 Raquel Flores: The deals here are pretty great! When I ordered I got a free Thai tea with purchase of any curry. There is no outside food allowed but the seating everywhere is cozy. I enjoyed the food very much. I was however concerned that the pineapple rice was staining the white plate with a neon yellow. Overall, enjoyed!

5 /5 Freeze Fire: Easily the tastiest restaurant in Davis. Plenty of dishes can be made vegan/vegetarian by asking. Price is a bit high, but totally worth it in my opinion. The yellow curry, pineapple fried rice, and drunken noodles are my top choices.

3 /5 Aaron Keonorasak: Fine casual place, but their curries have been overly sweet for some reason. Its all starting to taste more like Chinese food rather than the iconic Thai flavor profile. Its missing the savory, spicy, salty, and acidic elements. Leaves much to be desired. I guess I could see why so many non-SE Asians like this place.

1 /5 Chelsea Bahena: I ordered online through their app on July 15( I attached the order on here). I order their Thai Fried rice that is $15 but since I wanted Calamari I paid and extra $3. I got home and saw that I got chicken instead. It’s okay I get it happens but also this is not the first time that they give me chicken instead of Calamari(as shown in the picture). This time out of the maybe three times this has happened to me I call. I call saying that I just ordered and that I’m sorry but I got chicken instead in my Thai fried rice instead of Calamari and if I can just receive credit for it. The person who answered the phone apologized and offered me a refund instead I said that’s fine too thank you! I’m eating my food and I get a notification from bank. Me thinking it’s the refund I continue eating, but then I see another notification from my bank and decide to check it. I check and see that I was instead charged $18 and then on top of that I was charged $16.56. I’m confused on what happened so I tried calling back but it was 9:16pm and I think the restaurant was no longer taking phone calls, which I understood so I said I’ll call the next day. I call the next day and I let the person who answered know that I think I was accidentally charged instead of refunded they respond with a bit of annoyance and told me to wait a few days for it to be processed I said alright. I wait a week and see that nothing has changed so I call back today July 22nd at 12:28pm and explain the situation to the person who picked up, who happened to be the same person who responded with annoyance the week before. Again they told me that it was refunded and I was letting them know that from my end the transaction of $18 that they charged me did not get refunded. The person who picked up the phone just sounded very annoyed and did not offer good service. I let them know that I was going to file a claim with my bank and which she responded with “you go do that” and hung up. I did not appreciate the service that I was provided and although I really like the food and have been coming here for a year or two and I will not come back if service stays like this. I did not think that I was being rude at all I was even apologizing that they got my order wrong… well that’s all thank you for taking the time to read this. Please do better!
