That's the ex sunrise tacos? Still suffers from lack of parking, I'd be a lot more in the area if I could just park somewhere nearby. There's only a few spots at the curb and they're usually full. A pity as the area has good restaurants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you might try the opposite side of Tappraya by on the Soi by the Neo Hotel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Teddy's Bigger Burgers Teddy's Smaller Menu (previously "reviewed" here) OK, this is a bit catty but looking at the menu at this place in T21 mall I noticed that SEVERAL menu items have been discontinued. This is an international chain so they're down to being a less than example of that. That doesn't look good to see so many items you can't order. They're focusing on the their burgers now, not surprising. Gone for example was the Hawaiian Moco Loco. If they have slow moving menu items the choice is sell old stock or raise prices.

I guess my point is that this is an international chain so they present you with a menu representing the menu from the international chain. Then you look at it and there are several things on that chain menu that they don't serve. It looks really bad to the customer. I won't go further, but people can guess what I'm thinking and what many customers will think as well. Oh well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been my experience that most every international chain has missing and or extra menu items. I agree it blows, but assuming it’s a chain you like, cutting (what I assume are) slow menu items is much better than seeing them go tits-up.

Jingthing Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 I found on FB that there is apparently a new burrito shop in town. As I don't have the address or phone contact I don't know if it's a shop you can eat at, or delivery only. 100 to 150 baht price range. (That's cheap.) If someone has additional info, please post.

Jingthing Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 GOKUL Indian Vegetarian Street Food 2nd road, just south of Pattaya Tai, west side of road Affiliated with Govinda restaurant, Pattaya Klang This place was mentioned before and I got around to trying it. They serve tasty snacks. Everything on offer is indicated on a menu and with samples in their case. In most cases they will be cooking the items on display fresh so don't worry about that. The prices are quite cheap. The owner will explain what's in all the dishes. I tried two items, one looks like a kind of savory cake, it's sweet and sour, only 15 baht to sample, it was very good. Also had dumplings in yogurt spiced flavored with some spice and tamarind that was served cold. Very pleasant at 50 baht. That was basically my "dessert" after another small meal elsewhere. There are no tables, so you basically need to eat the dishes standing up right there. That is a downside, but the food is quite good and cheap so you can't have everything. I would definitely recommend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Made in Italy, Jomtien 2nd road near Soi 5 (across from Rompho Market) is now STILE ITALIANO. (Italian Style). It appears to be a similar business as before selling imported Italian ingredients deli style and also a restaurant. Made in Italy used to have a sometimes quite good Friday night buffet but so far it doesn't appear that Stile Italiano will be doing the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked by a few days ago and it was still open. Saw the owner there. Decent food but absolutely terrible rude service. I stopped going there because the wait staff was the worst I've encountered in Pattaya and that's saying something! Maybe Beerfest at Avenue Mall was worse. Moving menu to Retox is actually a good thing imho. Retox Lengkee staff are nice. I went to Cherry's a couple of times when I first moved here. First time was passable second time was horrible so I never returned. Too bad since I pass by it often. Edited May 5, 2019 by AlexCanada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMPM marketed itself by word of mouth. You had to be practically through the front door to realise you were there. It was out of the way and unlikely to pick up passing trade. If they do; as planned; move to a location in Pattaya that is more visible I am sure the Chinese will be customers. Many decent Italian eateries have many Chinese customers, for example. The young independant travellers who have been educated abroad are more than happy to eat good Western food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim's burgers is at the epicenter of the Chinese faux gogo & feeding grounds, yet there's usually only one or no tables with the fabled creatures at them. The Chinese with western habits go to west.

Jims is off the beaten track and is at the epicentre of tour bus land, not a place for the young and independant types who stick to baht bus routes and the places on them.

Popular Post AlexCanada Posted May 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Took Lae Dee - Foodland in Royal Garden Plaza I know this place has been reviewed before but since it was my first ever visit I'll add my thoughts. My friend and I decided to order 4 dishes to sample the menu. My friend ordered Western dishes. Hamburger - Thai beef so had that usual musky taste to it. If it were real beef would have been more edible. Fries very crunchy and tasted good. Some sort of cole slaw / salad as well. I took a small bite and pull out a Kleenex to spit it back out. Spaghetti Bolognese - really small portion. Would it hurt to give a few more pieces of pasta? Taste was edible I guess. I ordered Asian dishes. Chicken with Cashew Nuts - rice was hard. Had ok taste. Limited chicken and very limited cashew nuts. More just vegetables. Disappointing. Flavor ok. Tonkatsu - not bad at all. Tonkatsu sauce was a bit different than I am used to but I liked it. Pork was crispy. So out of the 4 dishes I would only order the Tonkatsu again. Bill was around 500 baht including 2 non-alcoholic drinks.
