I go here probably once a week, and just want to write that this has some of the best service out there. I tend to order random items, ask for things like extra patties that aren't on the menu, and they NEVER Mess up my order. Are always courteous, polite, and a few even recognize me. Just want to give them an A+ on food and service

I went here with the high hopes that it will be my new favorite place since there are great positive reviews about it.. sadly, my hopes were all shattered :( Service: if I could give a negative star, I would.. we were seated right away at the bar.. but then, it has been 10 minutes at least, and no one had taken the initiative to give us a menu or offer a drink.. my boyfriend end up getting a menu himself up front. After that, still nothing. So I asked the chef on the bar ( I think hes the owner too) if we should be ordering from him. He said "no, its not my job, I'm not a waitress" .. I was shock! I work in a hospitality field too and its one of my pet peeve.. to hear someone say its not my job -- most especially if he indeed is the owner.. its a sad culture he's promoting among his colleagues.. the service until the end is terrible Food: *crab stack - is ok. Nothing special about it *salmon carpaccio - ok. The fish is really fresh thoug * yellow tail jalapeno - ok. * poke salad - edible. I've had better ones * garlic chicken - good! Flavorful and really tender inside but crispy on the outside * fried Cali roll - ok * green tea fried ice cream - ok * food presentation is great! I wish I could give this place more stars. It has a lot of potential for greatness but in my opinion, customer service is where the heart of every business is.. and this place is lacking that. Will I be back? Maybe maybe not.. but I will definitely not go out of my way to dine in here again.

The problem with Pin Kaow 3 is mostly one of inconsistency--the hallmark of a mediocre restaurant. I've had one 2-star dinner, one 3-star dinner and one 1-star dinner at Pin Kaow 3, all having ordered the same exact meal, tofu panang. This time around, after an astoundingly bad 1-star dinner, I felt compelled to put in my two cents and warn the internet. I've had very, very good panang curries via Archie's on the west side and Komol on E. Sahara Avenue. It's my favorite Thai dish and I've cultivated a pretty discerning taste for it done right. Pin Kaow 3 can't seem to do much right here. This time around, the green beans in the panang were severely undercooked; the curry sauce almost nonexistent on top of being watery, bland and flavorless (we requested a level "5" on the 1-10 heat scale and got nothing near medium heat); not to mention the fact that we had to pay an extra $2 to have broccoli, mushrooms and bamboo shoots added to the meal. For an extra $2 worth of vegetables (which places like Komol load your plate with happily, at $8.95 a plate for tofu & veggie panang), Pin Kaow delivers a mediocre, overpriced ($12.95 for about a cup and a 1/2 of curry) dish--not to mention the fact that your pricey $2 veggies consist of about two stalks of broccoli, four small mushrooms and a some shards of bamboo shoots. Very disappointing. I'm done giving chances to a restaurant that--no matter how convenient the location--can't deliver consistently good, reasonably priced Thai. There are too many other restaurants that can and do, easily.

I had my doubts when I was buying tickets for this. I was told it was the first cirque show and more acrobatic like an actual circus. I saw La Reve (water show) before and didn't want anything less than that. I was amazed the entire show and the colors, the comedy, the acrobatics! It was entertaining from even before the show til the very end. It is worth every penny. I do remember being cold inside, so ladies if you are wearing a skimpy dress ready to go clubbing right after, wear one with long sleeves or bring a shawl!
