Ulysses G. Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I don't mind beans on toast or biscuits with gravy. Neither one is a favorite breakfast food of mine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyDean Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Beer prices seem to be more secretive than the DEA. Of course, very few expats drink alcohol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff05 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Well our experience in this restaurant was not good! The food was ok... just average. Its was very disappointing they served very cold beans with a hot breakfast. The service was very slow and to think there was only one other table occupied. The Thai staff were friendly & attentive but there is only one person, his expression was so mean to me. We have dined almost 40 restaurants in chiangmai but this is the first we received a cold meal (beans). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have dined almost 40 restaurants in chiangmai but this is the first we received a cold meal (beans). What I've found with restaurants in CM is that restaurants that are busy or packed tend to have faster service and fresher foods. It may seem counter-intuitive, but I suppose that busy restaurants are better prepared for the onslaught because it's expected. Restaurants bare of customers are almost shocked to get one.

Geoff05 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Yes your right but Arizona Joe's Restaurant they just opened 1 month ago, I guess they should work hard to attract and impress customers so that they/us can recommend this restaurant.

Come to think of it, put the hot beans in a flask and bring them with you, order breakfast sans beans and when it arrives... HEY PRESTO, add your own beans... could maybe think of even bringing your own teabags but that would just be silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted last week about this but had it pulled just in case the sign was true..... Wondering who had the over & under on it..... The sign & FB page say closed for kitchen renovations, however, they were also closed in January for kitchen renovations based on their FB page.... The hot rod is gone and from the few times I've glanced over, and there are no signs of activity.... It doesn't look hopeful....Even the DIY store next door looks lonely... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharktooth Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Is anyone in the least bit surprised? Arizona Joes was the worst effort on that site and that was against some stiff competition in the crap restaurant/bar stakes at that location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True + restaurants are multiplying there very quickly.... Years ago there used to be a nice selection of Thai/local eateries there but they mowed them down = progress.....Best Rim Ping around though.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flare Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 The useful Mr. DIY Shop that just opened next door to them would likely have helped their business a bit as it brings people practically to A-J's entrance who might otherwise not have known it even existed.

EL159 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 It might have helped if the decor had been chosen by someone other than a blind person! Green tiles, yellow tiles, blue tiles, all kind of next to each other made the place look terrible before you even sat down! Next please!! Wonder who ll be the next through the revolving ( failing) door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I rarely go that far South, but had to collect my son & a friend from the Kad-Farang Outlet-Mall (they're fashion-victims) last week, and had a very good meal at the Thin-Thin Pizza shop, about 20m from Rimping-supermarket, across from Pizza Hut. Three pizzas (Hawaian & Salami & Tuna), soft-drinks & two plates of fries came to about B670 in-total. They were doing 3-for-2 on their cheapest pizzas, prices from B110 upwards, the sauce was herby & garlicky & tasty and we'll certainly make a point of returning, if I ever get that far again which, knowing the boys, I might well ! Imust admit that my own experience of the Arizona-Joe site, a year or two back, was not encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sellers set-up shop right where people park. Went we went to dine at our favorite restaurant in there recently we couldn't park and had to "hike in". When we finally got to our favorite dining spot, we found the prices (which have been steadily going up and up over the years) to border on price gouging. High-quality it is but it put a damper on the meal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
