Dangs Thai Restaurant - San Andreas

The food is still mostly great and the new remodel looks good. However, the atmosphere is affected by the takeout table piled with orders and positioned in the dining room and the service has declined. Obviously, takeout is the priority now, because our service was extremely slow, while takeout orders flew out of the kitchen. We waited on menus, none of which have prices. Only the online menu has prices. Dishes were brought and set in a pile. Food came much later. For some reason, staff kept taking condiments off the tables, even though we were still eating. We waited a very long time for our bill and longer for the bubble teas we ordered. I felt like we were being rushed as the table was constantly being bussed but then we waited forever at every stage of the meal for what we needed. The only thing they were efficient about was refilling my kids' sodas without asking, so none of them ate their food. Meanwhile, I gave up trying to get another round for my wife and myself. Overall, it was clear that we weren't important enough to compete with the customers who didn't care to dine in, even though we were ordering alcohol. As far as the food, it was mostly up to the standard you'd expect at Tong's. The pineapple fried rice was good. Crab Supreme had plenty of crab and my wife lived it. The lo mein my son ordered was bland, but I've never had it at Tong's before, he enjoyed it. The Tom Yam seemed to have white mushrooms not straw mushrooms, which isn't as advertised. My Basil Bowl was not great, however. The sauce was runny and the noodles overcooked to the point that I couldn't eat them, even with a fork and spoon. They just sorta fell apart. I've had this dish dozens of times. This was not right. I would've said something but by the time I got any service, my kids were tired and it wouldn't have been fair to make everyone wait even longer for me to get decent food. Basically, it was easier to give up. I love Tong's but it will be a long time before I return for dinner. They're not the only game in town, anymore. There are half a dozen other Thai restaurants within a 5 minute drive and they actually seem pleased to have us. For the first time, I can say I really didn't enjoy Tong's Thai. In fact, it soured our whole evening.

The pad Thai was super spicy! I felt like I was doing the spicy noodle challenge. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy it. Beside that, the waitress was very pushy and wanted to rush everything. Food: 2 Service: 1

We ordered takeout: yellow curry, pad Thai and two Thai iced teas. Pad Thai was good. Yellow curry was very disappointing. They used a frozen vegetable mix for the carrots and peas.. and put hardly in there. I could taste freezer burn in the curry, and there were maybe five potatoes bites total. The curry itself was ok but lacked complex flavor and tasted like it was made with paste from a jar or store bought curry powder mix. I paid for a meal and was still hungry due to eating just rice and curry paste. There’s also no tomatoes as it states. The Thai iced teas were good but it’s impossible to mess up sweet condensed milk with black tea and ice. For $47 for two entrees and two teas, I expected higher quality food, and a stuffed belly, especially after reading the reviews instead. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

Best yellow curry I've ever had. needed to order extra rice because they give a huge serving of the curry. The curry is probably amazing by itself, but I usually get it with chicken. Food: 5
