    Got Thai checking wrap- my favorite! But not at this location! NO chicken hardly on it and maybe a teaspoon of sauce.. I didn’t ask for a lettuce wrap with a hint of everything else. Not going back!

    Went in on a Saturday afternoon. Place was crowded and there was a line for a hot day which was to be expected. Only took about five minutes to get to second in line but I ended waiting maybe an additional 15-20 minutes while the woman before me waited for something that wasn't included in her order and her family waited at a table nearby with their meal - but she hadn't even been asked a thing yet while the team did online orders only and the line increased. I saw the assistant managers scolding some of the employees about which workstation they should make online orders versus in house orders apparently, and what must have been the manager not wearing gloves, constantly tossing her hair over her shoulder while preparing the drinks. The rest of the employees had head gear. No one apologized for the wait or recognized the waiting customers. The drink I ordered was fine, just as any other chain, but the straw broke as I opened the package which makes it pretty much unusable. End result, scolding employees and prioritizing the online orders when others are waiting for long periods without even being recognized is just unacceptable and I'm likely going to take the extra 5 minutes to go to the old one on Houston instead. Food quality loses a star because of the hair thing and the cheap straw though the smoothie was as expected. If you look at my reviews, I'm really forgiving. I love to give good and honest feedback but was simply shook by this experience.
