Doordashing, called just to check to see where they were located. Just to verify if they were behind five guys and was put on hold. So drove to check while still having me on hold. Walked in and the restraunt is pretty much empty, the guy that had me hold was just sitting there by the phone doing absolutely nothing lol. Sigh gotta to love it

Great food excellent service. Portions are a little smaller then I would like but the quality of the food more then makes up for it

I've been young to Read Parrot since shortly after it was built, more than 8 years. I always love coming here, atmosphere is casual, food is great, service great. I do love the Thai drunken noodles, but they also have superior sushi. I'm a fan for sure.

Food was plentiful, decently priced and good. Went last Sunday with my sister, we were the only people there. Will say my coconut shrimp eggroll was only coconut and no shrimp. But the combo beef and shrimp general tso and sushi we ordered were good! My sister got the panag curry. It was good as well.

Food is bland, and service rude. Very small portions with lots of onions in salmon teriyaki. Miso soup with no tofu

Where do I begin. I have never left a negative rating for any restaurant, so that should tell you something - I like to support places, especially small businesses in these tough times. But I can no longer do that. This place is absolutely terrible, almost unique and rare in its terrible-ness. I've given it so many chances, again and again like an abusive relationship, and a couple weeks ago was the final straw. This place should be featured on Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, it's THAT bad. Don't let the appearance fool you - it's a cute enough place, with dim lighting, a cozy yet lively feel (although it's never actually "lively"; it's always empty, so take that as a big clue), and a polished enough "look" about it. But underneath all this are terrible, *embarrassingly* awful food, ridiculously high prices, and rude, belligerent leadership. I dined in awhile back and, feeling adventurous, was excited to try out a bunch of appetizers and dishes, including the chicken satay with peanut dipping sauce, roti canai, and tom yum soup. Instead, I was served cold, rubbery dry chicken with an unidentifiable definitely NOT peanut dipping sauce, roti with a sauce that was literally rotten and smelled spoiled, and a pallid, tasteless soup with no intelligible tie to anything Thai (disregard the pun). This place is supposed to be Asian fusion but falls pitifully short. Another time, I went in to pickup my order and the owner, a lady with spiky blondish hair, literally sat and ignored me, staring at her phone and around the room past me, while I stood there quietly. Whew... get ready for this. Lately during the pandemic, I've wanted to support local small businesses and regularly have been ordering takeout, so I ended up being a "regular" at this place, getting takeout sushi from them many evenings for a quick dinner. I'd get the same thing each time, two Philly rolls, despite the fact that the ones here are pretty bad quality sushi (barely any fish in each piece, bland, tasteless rice, mushy avocado, and "old" ingredients). Yet, they charge $8 per roll (REALLY? Philly rolls in literally every other sushi place run about $5 bucks to $5.50, MAX). But, I sucked it up and kept going there, for the SOLE reason that my apartment building is literally in the same parking lot and I can walk on over. Well, fast forward to last month - the same rolls I've been getting each time had no avocado, even though I was charged the usual $16 (again folks, try to digest that - SIXTEEN DOLLARS FOR TWO freaking PHILADELPHIA ROLLS which anywhere else, at FAR better actual restaurants, would be $5 each). I hate, hate, hate confrontation but I wanted to see if I could walk back over from my apartment and if they could maybe remake the rolls, or heck, just toss me a couple slices of avocado and I'd manually put them into the rolls. The manager, Wendy, picked up the phone and proceeded to very rudely shout at me, saying "I'm the owner, we're not remaking the rolls, it's already been made, nothing I can do!" while also telling me that the rolls should not have avocado. I calmly and hesitantly asked why I was charged $16 for them, and she said "oh, that's the old menu" and shrugged then hung up on me, a regular who'd been supporting her business for months despite having no job of my own at the time and struggling to make ends meet. And folks, get this - they've now inexplicably INCREASED their prices on most menu items - including the ridiculously priced Philly Rolls, which are now $9!!!! Speechless. Who the Eff thinks they can get away with such laughably high prices for such mediocre or downright terrible food, coupled with awful, harsh treatment of loyal customers? (I want to clarify - the male host who answers the phone/manages the front area is wonderful and always nice and friendly - he is not at fault for this.) That was it for me. I will not be returning to this place if I can help it. I adore Asian food and love

Over priced, salmon was not fresh as I was told. Too ?

The food and drinks was good. The customer service could have been better.

The lamb satay is rubbery and hard to chew. The chicken teriyaki smells spoiled, and tasted the same way. The first round of drinks was delicious, but all the rest of the drinks were made poorly. This used to be a great place a year ago, but it looks like they change the staff. I would not recommend this place unfortunately
Abdul O.
I think this place needs to shorten their menu and do less better I paid for top of the line Chinese food and got a over priced spoon full of Crap
I came for one thing only the steak n cheese eggrolls. Will not came for them again. It was full of cheese only and a few pieces of tough meat mixed in. Should only be 1-2 stars I gave an extra star, staff was friendly
Brad N.
The food was not good chicken and beef did not have a lot of taste and tough. I would not go back there again!
Jacob Hoffmann
I ordered $70 of sushi and an appetizer for Valentine's Day takeout dinner. My order was ready on time, but half of the rolls I ordered were missing ingredients and the other half were extremely small. Not only that, but the $10 coconut shrimp appetizer was just FOUR pieces of TINY shrimp! Very disappointed, will not be a returning customer.

We usually order Thai from Little Spice, but figured we would try something different. My fiancé walked in, saw the food bagged up on a table, and no one in sight. He checked the paper stapled to it and it was ours, and then he sees someone who works there and says "uh I think this my order?" And the guy says "then take it." Red flag number one. I got the panang with chicken and a side of rice noodles. I've had panang a thousand times from other places. Never have I ever seen someone put whole peanuts in their panang, and I've certainly never seen someone put mushrooms in panang. Just straight up weird and expensive for no reason. The taste was fine but nothing to throw a parade over. If you're looking for good Thai, go to Little Spice.

This place holds a sweet spot in my and my husband’s heart as a place we frequented when dating. However tonight’s situation was absolutely horrible. We placed the order in person and still 50 minutes later we don’t have food (and what we do have ready is freezing because the sushi is taking so long to prepare).Very unhappy and disappointed.
