My coworkers and our "try every Thai place in the area" continued today, as we walked all the way over to Kor Tor Mor. I really want the place to succeed as it's not always easy to go to Queens for good Thai food. I am hopeful though for this 4 month old restaurant but they need to correct a few of these problems. She was also not intuitive enough to bring us plates when we were obviously sharing the main dish. After repeating our questions, she then understood. Our server was pleasant enough but seemed to not understand our questions the first round. For the beginning of the day, that was a bit of a turnoff. I used the bathroom which was dark and not too clean smelling. That was not very appetizing or sanitary. I noticed the servers add the condiments to the dishes at a counter outside the kitchen door in full view which is not a problem but I saw a half eaten bowl of tofu from which our server was picking. They seem to offer quite a few vegan dishes and perhaps more Indian inspired dishes than expected for a Thai restaurant. Again, the flavor was good but the execution missed the mark. The chicken biryani, an Indian dish, was tasty enough but its basmati rice was on the oily side. The flavor was good but the wrap could have been crispier. The curry puff appetizer was underdone puff pastry wrapped mashed curry chicken and potatoes. I don't like sweet milky concoctions but need a good basic coffee with my first meal. They also did not have regular coffee which I think they need to add to the menu if they open for brunch.
The skin was okay and the chili sauce masked the lackluster slightly spoiled filling. The ubiquitous spring rolls at first seemed good but the filling was just cabbage and tasted a little sour. The Thai coffee that my bf had seemed passable. Our food seemed a little slow in coming out especially since we were the only ones in restaurant at the time.
We decided to have a quick Sunday brunch when they opened and we were the first customers. Unfortunately, this one was not extraordinary.
My bf does not like spicy food so we tend to avoid them unless we are in Queens which has the better Thai places. I rarely go to Thai restaurants and when I do I hope they are extraordinary.
