4.0
Chada is a gorgeous restaurant that could get 4-5 stars from the atmosphere and service. However, with crunchy pad thai noodles and overcooked fish, I could not give higher than 3 stars, because at the end of the day, food matters most.The pros:Probably one of the best decor and fixtures of any Thai restaurant I’ve been to. The most impressive feature is the entire ceiling is covered in hammered copper sheets. It reflects the warm lighting and really compresses the space, making it feel cozy but vibrant. The service as also perfect. Sonia was a wonderful waitress who was spot on with her drink recommendations, and was always around when we needed her but never hovering.The cons:For $21 pad Thai, I expect good pad thai but it doesn’t need to be the best I’ve ever had. It however, cannot have undercooked noodles. When multiple bites have a unexpected crunchy treat, I think it’s probably one of the worst pad Thais I’ve had in the $20-$25 range.The steamed bronzino was better, but still a disappointment. It was overcooked, but deboned and cleaned well.I’d recommend Chada if you want pretty good drinks, and an amazing atmosphere. - Derry Li
