Not exactly gaga
This Asian-style restaurant featuring Thai food along with a smattering of Vietnamese has an elegant façade. The pleasant atmosphere, good service and reasonable prices, however, outshine many of the dishes. Spring Rolls (¥6 each) and Shrimp Cakes (¥8 each) were tasteless and greasy. The menu had a few amusing misspellings; Crispy Duck (¥25) appears as Dork. The crispy was a bit soggy and fatty, not dork (duck!). The Chicken in Green Curry Sauce (¥42) arrived with a generous serving of Thai rice. Also redeeming was the Fragrant Noodles with Prawns (¥38), or, Pad Thai in disguise. The assorted stir fried vegetables in a tasty but unidentifiable sauce (¥25) were also acceptable. Since there are shrimp dishes galore and Vietnamese offerings that went untried, we agreed that we just might give Graraagaa one more visit. -

**Gaga for Graraagaa!!!** Of course everybody is entitled to their opinion but I am sorry Peggy your review is way off the mark. If you have been to Thailand you will know that the food here is very authentic. I rate this place very highly and applaud the owner for bringing a good location, nice atmosphere and excellent food to customers at a very reasonable price. To be fair we did have some service problems but it was of the friendly incompetent type so forgivable. Before this place opened I either went to Simply Thai (which is good but simply a rip-off) or Thai House (friendly Thai staff, very cheap, but food so-so) or some cliched place with Thai dancing girls (such as Ma Boon Krong, which has good food nonetheless). I will definitely be going to Graraagaa again (and again). I invite others to have a try and see if you think this place is worth only 2.5 stars as given by CW.
