I am soo UPSET after my experience TODAY!!! The Thaicoon Ricefire? SUC$S ! ALL of the rice dishes on the menu taste like 2-day chinese buffet rather than thai! I also had a friend try to order a curry sauce and he had NO clue how to make it...LOL\r
\r
JUST a FYI to your guys! After stopping at this place and blowing my money on his so called thai-crap.. I had to do some investigative work! This is what I come up with! I must admit ...I just moved here a few years ago.. I do not know these people formally.. HOWEVER...I did hear STRAIGHT from an attorneys mouth who is trying to help out ...FREE OF CHARGE... b/c he too is sick of the situation!\r
\r
Here is the REAL story! The origional Thaicoon lady (E. North st) didn?t shut her doors OR MOVE to OLD BUNCOMBE RD!! She is having to business restructoring due Thaicoon off of Old Buncombe! However, SHE is the BEST and ORIGINAL Thaicoon (for several years)! She shut the doors b/c her so called boyfriend.. ?the owner of the new Thaicoon Ricefire?aka Bobby.? Was her cook and boyfriend. He used her and tried to copy everything thing she had! At least she was smart enough NOT to let him know everything.. WHICH IS A GIVEN... once you compare the two! I really feel sorry for here? She isn?t from the states and NOT knowing the laws left her in a BIND and a target for criminal minds to say the least!! Trust she is living and learning! HOWEVER? it looks like she will GAIN in the end!!! Just a FYI for you guys.. Bobby is a white boy from Greenville and will never be able to cook like her.... Nor does he have a Thai BONE in his body?LOL\r

Keep in mind try the two?.
Pros: Nothing
Cons: Cost to much to taste like Chinese
