Happy Thai - Quezon City

Passed by Malingap Street looking for a dinner spot, and I got curious to try Happy Thai hoping it would satisfy my Thai food cravings (I usually love Thai food ;)). -  I ordered the following dishes  -  Tom Yum Goong - mild: The flavor was good but I found the laman lacking.  There was one big shrimp & two small ones.  Other than tomatoes the rest of the veggies inside were mostly spices ie ginger, leeks, etc.  Ok as a starter, but not as ulam.  It will not fill you up at all. Spring Rolls - fried:  I was disappointed to find that there was no meat in the fried spring rolls.  I had consulted with the waiter to ask what dish would go with the Tom Yum.  He could have warned me that the spring rolls were all veggie.. especially knowing I was pairing it with just the Tom Yum.  I could only bring myself to eat a couple of pieces. Tamarind juice - a bit on the sweet side.   I was already very hungry coming into the restaurant, and it then took them 35 minutes to come out with my first order.  Again would have been nice for the waiter to inform that the orders would take that long.  Server did listen to my feedback and apologized for the delay. But overall I didn't enjoy my meal here - I don't know if I just made the wrong orders but was definitely bitin. Servers are nice, but need better training re the menu and managing of customer expectations.

Reasonably priced thai food.  However, i consider the servings quite small and really, nothing special about it. But, for a quick thai fix, I would go back to this place.

Food: we enjoyed the spicy squid and beef curry. It met our expectation. The tom yum was good though it was quite expensivd for 190 with two pieces of shrimp only. The thai rice fitted the viands we ordered. The thai milk tea though was too sweet for our preference. Service: so-so, did not experience ang extra mile actions Ambiance: quite dim Value for money: 4/5

This is my 2nd visit and we ordered Tom Yum Goong (which I have been craving for and the reason I went back), Crispy Cat Fish Salad, Fried Tilapia with Tamarind Sauce, and Thai Fried Rice. The ambiance was simple and service okay but whatever is lacking the food makes up for it. The food tastes great and the price is pretty cheap. All of the things we ordered cost us around 700.++. Not bad for 3 pax.
