" The moment I walked into Drunken Poet, I felt a unique charm in the decor. The ambiance set the stage for what was about to be an outstanding dining experience. I ordered the Pad Thai and their special sushi roll. Both dishes were bursting with flavor and truly reflective of authentic Thai cuisine. The waitstaff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. I will definitely be back for another tasty meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Drunken Poet delivered a satisfying experience! I loved their red curry dish, which was full of flavor and authentic. The wait staff were attentive and friendly, checking in on our meal. The atmosphere was cozy, which enhanced our dining experience. I felt the portion sizes could have been slightly better considering the price. Overall, a great spot to savor Thai food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Drunken Poet! The decor was beautiful, and the ambiance made for a relaxed meal. I was impressed with the variety of options on the menu. I opted for the spicy tuna roll and a green curry, both of which were rich in flavor. The portion sizes were satisfactory for the price. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good Thai and sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn’t very impressed with the food quality at Drunken Poet. The sushi rolls were not as fresh as I hoped, and the flavors were rather flat. I had the duck, which was cooked well but lacked the depth of flavor. The service was friendly, but overall, I couldn’t get past the food. It just didn’t meet my expectations for authentic Thai cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this restaurant given all the hype, but it just didn't meet my expectations. The service was friendly, but it felt disorganized. The flavors in the sushi fell a bit flat, and the ramen was just okay. They could definitely work on their execution to bring more authentic taste to their items. I may give them another shot, but I'm not eager to return right away. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Drunken Poet for the first time and was absolutely enchanted by the vibrant decor. Though the ambiance was relaxing, I found service to be a bit hit or miss. The sushi rolls were fresh but a bit on the small side compared to prices. However, the Thai basil dish was flavorful! If you're not too picky about portions, this place is definitely worth a visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for authentic Thai food with a touch of sushi flair, I highly recommend Drunken Poet. The green curry was phenomenal, and the sushi rolls complemented our meal perfectly. We loved the outdoor seating that added to the experience. The waitstaff were friendly and familiar, which made us feel welcomed. Overall, we had a great evening and plan to visit again shortly!
