Review content:
I've eaten at many Thai restaurants. My favorite hobby is eating, especially foods I can't cook myself. I'll get straight to the point, never in my life have I ever been as disappointed after a meal as I have after eating at Gemini Thai Kitchen. I would like to point out that the place was fairly empty the entire time we were there. Only after were close to leaving, did business start to pick up.\r

Let me start with some of the positives of the place. First, the booth we sat at was very unique, it was privately tucked away in the corner. Second, the presentation of the food was well done. Third, the waiteress serving us was nice, when she was around. Fourth, the food had some interesting flavors, but nothing too worthwhile. Everyone at my table agreed on all four counts. \r

Now, on to the negatives of the place. The food took an abnormally long time to come out. I waited for about 35-40 minutes for my dish, some simple curry. On top of that, the food came out in rounds, in that each person's main dish was served in 5 minute intervals after the 35-40 minute wait. I got my dish, 5 minutes later, my buddy got his, then another 5 minutes, another got theirs, and so on. My food was lukewarm by the time everyone got their food, 30 minutes later. The dishes were around $8-10, which I was ok with, until I saw the size of the portions. Most Thai places I go to, I have a bit of a hard time finishing my serving, but that's also because I use extra rice. I could not believe how small they were, and neither could anyone else. The servings of rice they gave were tiny as well. It was a little bit more than half of a typicaly serving of rice. Atleast they follow suit, right? But here's the kicker, they charged for extra rice! This is the only Thai place I've ever heard of doing that. Like I said earlier, the flavors were nice and the presentation as well, but it definitely was not worth the money I spent on it.
Pros: Interesting seating
Cons: Virtually everything else
