Price Range : who cares, don't eat here.

Tim's Thai established the negative portion of my thumbs system. I ate here when our kitchen was being remodeled last October because I wanted to give it another shot. I had tried it years ago and found it creepy, gross, extremely slow, and overly frightening. I thought, it couldn't have been that bad, could it?

Yes, it could.

This is one of the many restaurants in town which most people seem to love, yet I can't understand this for one second, as it's the creepiest, most uncomfortable restaurant I've ever been in. There is clearly only one person doing the cooking, and a sign greets you at the door preparing you for a long wait (UP TO TWO HOURS ON BUSY NIGHTS, it says).

We were the only table in the whole place and it still took an hour to receive a dish of cashew sauce with tofu and vegetables. The sauce was very watery and had little to no flavor. The vegetables all looked and tasted like they were stewing in some watery soup for days before being placed on the plate. Even the rice wasn't good. The cashews tasted like they were burned, but not by flame or wok. It almost tasted like they were laying out on top of a hot appliance and were slowly and unnaturally roasted. The tofu tasted sour and looked off color. When the waiter asked us how everything was, it took all of my strength to say "fine, thank you."

I've tried other dishes here as well and they all suck. I just don't understand how a place can stay in business when it's so blatantly terrible. I will NEVER eat here again and encourage you to do the same.
