We arrived at about 8.45pm and waited for at least 15 minutes before we were being shown to our seats, with the restaurant at full capacity. The staffs were generally friendly and I noticed that most of them are Thais.
Aesthetically, the restaurant is very nicely decorated and I love the design and layout of it. Picture tells a thousand words. Here are some photos that will show why I think it's nice.
The first dish of the day is Stir Fried Minced Pork with Basil Leaves, that cost me $8.50.
Our next dish is the Prawn Tom Yum soup that cost $12.90.
Our next dish was the Seafood Pad Thai, which costed us $10.90.
However I think that this outlet was understaffed. As most of the service staff are too engrossed in serving the dishes to the various tables that they not only forgot my initial order for ice water, but it also took me very long before I can get one of their attention to bring me the ice water, which took a while before it arrived at our table, in 2 small cute silver looking cups, which is cold to the touch. Yes the cups looked nice but on a practicality note, I would rather prefer the service staff to give me a normal glass of ice water instead of a small cup which requires constant refills, especially when the Prawn Tom Yum soup was so spicy.
Here's a copy of our receipt, which added up to the total cost of $36.65, inclusive of 10% service charge. Reasonable price for a meal for 2 persons, but I think the portion was slightly small as we still feel a little hungry after our meal.
Service staff ratings = 5 out of 10 (due to the experience we faced in obtaining ice water)
Food = 8 out of 10
Overall Satisfaction = 8 out of 10
I would visit this restaurant again and if my friends wants me to recommend any nice Thai food, PORN'S restaurant would certainly be in my list of recommendations. But do take note to make reservations in advance if you are going in a big group as it will be packed. Do try out their Stir Fried Minced Pork with Basil Leaves and Seafood Pad Thai. I won't recommend you to try their Tom Yum soup as it was simply too spicy for both our stomachs to take. But should you wish to try out this fiery dish, be warned. Don't attempt to drink too much of the soup. Take in moderation!
