They have some great tasty food, but there is absolutely no atmosphere. Most walls are just plain white and the lights are numerous and very bright, giving you the impression you're eating at a pharmacy. On top of that they don't serve alcohol.
For me the best option would be take out. Then I can enjoy some wonderful food at home and wash it down with an ice cold beer. Five stars for the food, a few less for the overall experience.

I love Thai food and tend to like what is served here. Compared to other Thai restaurants in town they win it hands down. The only drawback used to be the service, which was nearly non-existing. However, when I last visited this place I noticed a change of staff and things have improved. (I hope the old staff were not on a holiday....)
I don't agree with the above mentioned price per person. I would rather say something like 100,000 - 150,000 or even less. Take out is possible and when I did it earlier this week I paid 120,000 for two dishes (panang chicken with rice and a phat see-ew). Let's say you can make it as cheap or expensive as you want

My girlfriend and I went there once and we intend to keep it like that. The juices we ordered were nice, the food (beef noodles and one other dish involving meat and rice) was not edible. After one bite I thought they had accidentally given me a rubber reproduction of beef. I could not chew it and decided not to continue. The waitress and the manager said the food was good and seemed not to care whether we liked it or not.
On a steaming hot day, do get in and cool yourself down with one of their juices, but stay away from the substances they call "food".
Minus two stars for the food and plus three for the juice makes one.

I don't recommend Taxi Tai with neighbourhood labours. You may find a lot of items missing in the end. Use a real moving company, have them deliver the boxes to you and you do the packing yourself. I have learned this the hard way, when the moving crew tried to steal anything they could. Even four tiny pieces of metal were removed from a bed. Value maybe a few thousand Dong, but they took it.
When I later used a proper moving company I had no problems. I paid a bit more, but in the end it was cheaper because nothing was missing.
If you don't have a lot of stuff you could rent Taxi Tai and do it with some friends.
In response to the question: Was wondering if anyone here has used a Vietnamese removal company? I have had a look at Crown and JVK, but the prices way too high for us modest earn...
