text: The Ft Apache location of the Thai Style Noodle House may be the sister to the Chinatown original but they hail from a different mothernnTo be sure the food is almost as good as it is more popular sibling but that is no surprise assuming the recipes got passed along at birth But that is where the similarities end with this western valley reproduction of a wellloved Chinatown eatery which is sad news for those of us who live in the western valleynnIn my review of the original I bemoaned the absence of an accommodating server who could provide the suggestions I crave when on a maiden voyage It is fair to assume the language barrier played a significant role in this but the server did do an excellent job with everything else and I had Yelp to help out with the suggestion portionnnThe same could not be said for the Ft Apache location Not only was there no perceivable language barrier but as the only customer during the lunch rush the server was presented ample opportunity to showcase his skills It is here where he failed monumentallynnIts hard to describe the feeling of invisibility especially if the reader has never experienced such loneliness or felt the overwhelming desire to do a Huckleberry Finn on the fence post It is especially difficult to imagine being ignored when you are the only customer in the place Suffice it to say I nearly had to cry out in anguish EVERY time I needed anything from placing my order to requesting a refill to procuring the checknnNot only did the server not care about my presence in his establishment he seemed perturbed by the rare interaction he did have with me To add insult to massive injury his response to my credit card was and I quote Do not you have cash picture Paris Hilton discovering her rental choices did not include a pink Cadillac EscaladennI half expected the bill to arrive in some minimum charge as some restaurants are will not to threaten with their little placards next to the register nnI was delighted to see that the server only charged my card the exact amount of my bill it was sadly the highlight of my visit
