Maithai

I would give Maithai zero stars if it were possible. Seriously, just skip this place altogether. Maybe I’m spoiled from growing up in the ethnic food mecca that is San Francisco, and maybe I am very picky, and yes… the holy grail of irritation… I am vegan. However, I have had the pleasure on hundreds of occasions to enjoy Thai food as prepared by Thai peoples and it has never, ever tasted this horrible or been served with less care.
My yellow curry vegetables (€ 13.50 + € 2.50 at LUNCH) was basically a very, very small bowl consisting of an entire CAN of limp bamboo and soggy aubergine in a few tablespoons of curry sauce. Like… SO MUCH bamboo and aubergine (neither of which are normal in Thai cuisine in these quantities or condition) that I just didn’t eat it.
Did the fact that I barely touched my food set off any alarm to our stoic zombie of a server? Of course not! Who cares about service or customer satisfaction?! Not Maithai. This place is a joke. I’ll save my appetite for Thai for trips home. Avoid this place at all costs. It’s just sad.
