Thai Town Restaurant

The worst red curry I’ve ever had, disappointed

Here’s a piece of advice for you aspiring waiters and waitresses out there:
When you bring out the order, and your customer tells you that what you brought out is not what they ordered, and you go and confirm that, yes, indeed, this is not what the customer ordered, and you say «OK, I’ll take care of it», do NOT, under any circumstances, come back to the table 20 minutes later and say «hey, the kitchen is really backed up, it’s going to take a long time to get that dish out to you, you don’t really want to wait, do you?».
Another tip: if you decide to go ahead and ignore that first piece of advice, do NOT, under any circumstances, leave that wrong item on the bill.
This is very valuable advice, because if you were to do those things, you would get a 3% tip on the meal.
Which is what happened to my waiter at Thai Town earlier tonight. In his defense, I hadn’t written this review yet, so he didn’t know.
Oh, and one more thing: don’t start kissing my ass once the bill comes, thinking that being nice to me now will somehow make up for the prior incompetence.

Look, I’m not from D.C., I’m just here for a conference, but I have got to imagine that, in a city of this size, there are thai restaurants with OK food at fairly reasonable prices without horrible service. I urge you to go to one of those, because this place, with its OK food and fairly reasonable prices, has the worst fucking service I’ve ever experienced.
