Hidden Gem in Tacoma!

by suzysp

What a lovely restaurant! No one makes Phad Kee mao like the chef at Galanga Thai! The staff is super friendly and eager to help. The owner/host is always ready and willing to chat, take your order, or suggest a substitution. The lunch rush is a bit crazy; so we go for dinner instead, when there aren't as many office workers crowding the door.

• Pros: Super Tasty, Inexpensive, Very Friendly
• Cons: Not well known

Disappointed beyond belief.

I wish I could tell you what the food was like but, unfortunately, the owner threw us out because several members of our party didn't arrive. We had reservations for 30 something for 5:30 and a little over half had arrived when he told us we were "unprofessional". Unprofessional what..customers? Had he asked us to cover the costs of the meals we would have been glad to and then he could have doubled his money by seating those tables as well. Instead, we were verbally assaulted with curse words and threats without being given a chance to negotiate. Several members of our party were shaking and none of us could figure out what happened as we stood on the sidewalk. This restaurant may have great food but the owner is abusive to his customers. Now THAT's unprofessional..and not very smart in this day and age when word spreads like wild fire.

By the way, the Mexican restaurant across the street invited us in gladly with no reservation at all and the food was great. Go THERE instead.

• Pros: None that I can say. Didn't get to try the food
• Cons: The owner/manager, the atmosphere. I have to say the waitress was shocked and shaken too.
