Room Service should be renamed "No Service"!
My partner in crime and I decided to stop in for a light bit and boy did I make a horrible suggestion.
We walk in around 8 PM and the restaurant is virtually empty, clue number 1. We're offered a table next to the waiter stand, clue number 2. Once we're seated our waiter comes by, but barely speaks English.
I order the mixed shrimp and chicken dumplings & BBQ ribs and my boy the assorted Fritters. The orders came out pretty quick, but my BBQ ribs didn't come. I asked the waiter when my ribs were coming and he responded, "in just a second." If it's going to be "just a second" then why not bring out the entire order out at once? Why, because he didn't place the order and gave an half-assed excuse to cover his ass. About 10 minutes later, we'd finished our apps and the ribs came out. I took one bit and thought I would puke. They were rancid and tasted as if the meat was spoiled. I thought I might lose my meal right there.
We asked for the bill and left. I was nauseous the entire evening.
I think the decor of room service is the only interesting thing about the place. The food is average and wait staff lethargic.
I've decided to put a big do not disturb sign on this joint as you should avoid it. If you must try this place after reading this review, I suggest you limit your experience to the bar only. Come for a drink, take in the decor, people watch then move on to a better Thai restaurant, NYC is full of better options.
You'll thank me later.
