the food and dining experience at khao pla, chatswood used to be great but we've noticed a decline. the service is curt and unfriendly, the food is served late, our rice dish was crunchy and one dish was cold (octopus is not tasty when served cold!). and what's up with the measly serving of white wine for $10 a class? halfway through our meal, despite it being late, we were asked to vacate our table by a certain time. given that there was no line snaking out the door (unusual for 7pm) and the family next to us were not asked to do the same, we were offended. overall, the experience for us has soured and we won't be back again.
