First time since the change over from Houdini's. Honestly, wasn't so sure what we were walking into - we didn't hear too many great reviews.Wasn't very busy for a Friday, which led us to be that much more skeptical.Walking in, service was great and welcoming, and we had our choice for seating.Choices on the menu for our liking weren't very good, but we did both find something, and the food came quickly and ended up being very good.We got the Sweet Fire Burger without jalapeños, substituted the pepper jack cheese for Cheddar - excellent, and cooked as requested.Also had the Vodka Tomato Shrimp - amazing.

Excellent shrimp risotto!

I ordered the spicy level 5 noodle dish with scallops. It was delicious! The rice was soft and the scallops were large and plentiful. We sat at the bar vs a table.

I did not like the salad (didn’t look or smell fresh) and instead of being offered something else, I was ignored the rest of the evening by the waitress because she was upset I didn’t like it, and also I paid her in cash, and I did not get my change back. ( paid $12 for a salad alone that I couldn’t eat). I was a frequent customer at Taste of Thai, and this was my first time visiting this location - putting it honestly I was not impressed l.

Last night was going to be our first time here and my husband and I were so excited to try it out. The food smelled absolutely amazing. The ambiance was a bit claustrophobic, given we've been there when it was Houdini's and the tables were very close together. The reason why this review was a one star is because the service was absolutely awful. I understand it was busy being it was a Saturday night but we only saw 2 waitresses and it was evident one was avoiding serving us after waiting 20+ mins without water and drink service AND the avoidant waitress helping other tables that came in AFTER us. Once we saw that we got up and left. It's really unfortunate because we really wanted to try the food BUT I will be telling everyone I know about the awful experience and will NOT be back!!

Above average experience. Server was attentive, quick, and friendly. Menu has sufficient variety for everyone in the family. Food was good but not as authentic as it was in their original location.

Please stop serving soup and calling it curry. Over four different visits, four different people and three different dishes (Ginger Pasta four times, Evil Jungle Prince two times and now Massaman two times) each and every one of them was served like soup rather than curry. If it wasn't for the rice I would have literally had to eat all 8 of these dishes with a spoon. And I know this to be a problem because in between one of these failed visits I had lunch one time where they nailed it like they used to. So I know I'm not crazy. I don't understand why such a seasoned restaurant can't make their native dishes like they're supposed to be made. If this is how it's going to be moving forward maybe switch to a Pho restaurant instead of restaurant masking poorly-executed dishes that shouldn't be that difficult to make if you just take a few more minutes to get it right. Please stop screwing up your great tasting food that I have loved since I found you in the 90's and have forever been in love with you even after Appleton has been populated with other great Thai restaurants. I always held you as not only the O.G., but also hands down my favorite. I am deeply saddened that you can't be more consistent in making traditional dishes that require a specific consistency to be right. To be clear, I'm not blaming this on Mad Elephant. Although all these visits have been at this location, it had started happening before the transition. And while I'm at it, whatever you did to your Peanut Satay sauce...fail! Why you decided to change the recipe or start using a different product is beyond me. It doesn't taste the same and it is really bad compared to how you made it a year ago. And maybe stop over-frying the Curry Puffs too. Three times. All burnt. The picture on the menu vs what you actually get is not the same. The best part of my last meal from M.E. were the apps I got from another restaurant. I will gladly change this review if you can get it together, but for now I feel you need to know this is unacceptable from a long time lover of your food.

quietly added gratuity to a party of five (felt like they were hiding it with the way they only presented the signature sheet when signing). staff was then rude and said it's state law. agree they have the ability to do it, but be prepared with their covert approach to pocket double tips. management dis not take feedback of presenting itemized bill when signing nor stating servers should verbally inform customers. Food was not great.
Very tasty food once you get what you order.So many tables crammed in the place, that I felt like I was having dinner in a standing room only club. We were unfortunely seated in a table right by the entrance and had people waiting for a table standing behind us. The issues started with beveages...2 Thai Iced Teas ordered...1 Thai iced tea and 1 Thai coffee delivered...after convincing the waitress that something was clearly not right. That issue was resolved. When dinner was delivered. Two of the three orders were not correct. The waitress said she will get them corrected. She left my wife's meal to eat. 1st mistake. About 20 minutes later they delivered my daughters dinner correctly and stated mine would be here soon. Another 20 minutes later mine was delivered. Very sorry the kitchen is backed up. The food was very good, but the rest of the experience removed this restaurant from my. Bowl 91 or Taste of Siam in Neenah are a better value with great food and environment, and you call all enjoy a meal together. Btw they provide one complimentary Thai iced Tea for our inconvenience. The waitress worked hard but it all fell short of expectations.

Got the "pan fried" scallops and they were just boiled with various veggies and a watery sauce. Absolute worst food I've ever had. Everything was bland yet spicy somehow.

Good luck making a reservation. Showed up with a group of 8 after making a reservation for them to tell us they can’t seat 8 people for another 2 hours. Staff was really rude as well.

Service was great. Our server was fast and polite. My drink was not very good at all. The Phuket drink just does not go together with its ingredients.Got the Bangkok Thai dish and it was fine. We also shared the fried pot stickers and those were excellent.Overall it was ok. Not nearly as good as Basils or Bowl 91.

I ordered delivery twice now and I'll be honest, I'm very disappointed. This is overpriced and flavorless. Never again. Worst thai food I've ever had.
