My husband and I tried to go to Sushi Thai last night, against our better judgment. This place has always been sub-par, compared to Thai restaurants in DC, but proximity to our house was always a plus. Last night, we walked in at 6:30, in hopes of getting something better than Subway or Chubby's. The restaurant was only half full. We thought, ""Great, we'll get in and out pretty quickly!"".... but we were put on a waiting list! I asked why there was a wait when there were so many empty tables, and she said, ""They are all four-person tables, and there are only two of you."". I was flabbergasted! I gave her the benefit of the doubt, thinking that she would quickly realize how poor she was at probabilities, but we ultimately left and went to Chubby's (as did the other two-person party waiting for a table).
What is WRONG with these people? I am sure the owners are completely unaware that they lost four customers that they could have seated, if they had not been holding out for more people for the four-top tables. As we walked past the restaurant after our Mexican meal, it was slightly more full, but there were plenty of empty four tops, waiting for customers. Sushi Thai, you stink.
Pros: Atmosphere
Cons: Too many to count
