My husband and I had takeout from here this evening, and I was so disappointed I had to write a review. I've heard so many good reviews of this place that, even though I've been disappointed eating here in the past, I thought I'd give it another try. We ordered the Tom Yum Goong and split a Bataan Delight. The name should have been a hint -- it was awful. There were three slices of carrot, each the size of a small dog, equally enormous pieces of bell pepper, a few other disappointing veggies and 5 miniscule off-color shrimp swimming in a thin broth. We opened it up and just thought yuck. The soup was flavorful, but the shrimp was hard to find. (Do they know that Goong means prawns?) There's no way we're eating here again... there are way too many better Thai places in town (Madam Mam's, Thai Passion...)
Pros: ?
Cons: expensive, poor value, terrible presentation

I and my fiancee were very disappointed with Satay. We are spoiled with the best food as we have lived in several countries around the world and love cooking the most delicious cuisines. WE had a friend from Thailand who cooked for the US embassy people the most delicious dishes. So, we do love good quality Thai food, but Satay was a true joke: no flavor at all, tiny portions, tasted like leftovers from yesterday supper. WE definitely would not recommend it to anyone and we are not returning there either! Sadly, we have not found any real Thai alternative to this place....
