Fixing my Dish Meant a Reduction in Size

Pretty disappointed with my experience at OBAO and it wasn't even due to the flavor or quality of the food, which was in fact really good.

I initially ordered a vegan pad see-ew ($18) with tofu and vegetables which was also advertised as such on their menu. When my food came, I took a bite and realized that they had incorporated egg into my dish. I reached out to the server to point out this mistake and they didn't seem to have the best reception to my concern. There wasn't any sense of an apology when she took my dish away to replace it with what I ordered.

Five minutes later, the new dish arrived and it was significantly smaller than my original dish. It went from four or so pieces of tofu to... just one. Just take a look at my photos and see for yourself.

For the hefty price, I really wanted to like the place. The ambiance was good and the menu options were fine, but the service and food didn't meet my expectations, even though my dish ended up being pretty tasty in the end.

Cons: Service seemed disinterested
