"During our visit to La Jolla, we were excited to dine at a Thai restaurant that was once a favorite of ours in the past: Royal Thai, now known as Chedi Bistro. However, our experience at the restaurant was far from enjoyable. The establishment appeared attractive at first glance but was poorly maintained, giving off a shabby and uninspired vibe. Despite having a reservation, we were initially told there were no available tables, even though there were clearly open ones. It took ten minutes before we received any attention, and only after my husband requested some water from the man at the front desk. It seemed like we didn't have a designated server, as we had to ask for everything throughout our meal, with no one checking in on us. We had to ask for the check long after we had finished eating. The food was decent but not memorable, and the service was practically non-existent, with clueless servers. The kitchen appeared disorganized, as not all our dishes arrived at the same time. It was evident that the staff did not care about the well-being of their guests. It is regrettable to say that our experience was disappointing, prompting me to leave this review in hopes of warning others about the lackluster service at Chedi Bistro."
