Food: Top-tier taste, varied views on size
At Thai Wave, the food is described with such cheerful fervor, it's as if the enjoyment was plucked from dreams without the slightest alteration. The taste is continually called delicious, flavorful, and exquisite. Where dispute sets in, however, is on the issues of freshness and portions, where some think the ingredients exhibit various degrees of age and the portion sizes to be on the smaller side. There's also concern on variety, with ingredient discrepancies in dishes.
