The crappiest place in the whole world...

So, we went to Thai Noodle House today because our first choice was closed. BIG MISTAKE. We waited stood in the middle of the restaurant for 10 minutes waiting to be seated. After we were seated, we had to wait 20 minutes before being able to get drinks. The place wasn't even that packed. The manager sat there scratching her nose-- it was so disgusting, before even giving us our menus. When our food came, the server pretty much rudely tossed the plates onto the table making a big slamming noise. The spinach dumplings tasted like they were made from clay, and the pad thai tasted like a week old. I found a fly in my pad thai and my friend found a huge insect leg in her noodle soup. There were flies flying around us we ate. We decided to be gracious and left $2 tip, but as we walked out to the car, the ugly nasty manager came running to us with our check demanding to be tipped an extra dollar to make it 15%, screaming non-sense about how this is America and criticizing us-- Like we didn't know where we are already. She obviously did not deserve any tip whatsoever, so I refused to give her any more tip. When I got home and checked my online banking, I found that she added more tip! F*#*KING OUTRAGEOUS! I have never seen such terrible service and illegal activity. I hope this place closes down soon. We would have gone to Madam Maam's if they had parking- their food and service is much much better. Their plates aren't pathetic and small and food taste fresh! If I could I would have given this place a ZERO rating but I have to give some sort of rating for this review to go through...so 1

Pros: has a parking lot

Cons: ugly manager will yell at you for not tipping enough, and food is crappy, dirty

No-frills decor, low prices and amazing food at a near-campus hideaway.  See the full editorial review.
