Guest fountainhall Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 I haven't been to DIck's in Soi Twilight for months- since it reopened after it's summer refurbishment last year. My friends and I felt it was then not quite up to its previous standards, possibly due to quite a few new staff. Has anyone been there recently? Quote
Moses Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 I almost stop to visit Dick's BKK after my favorite waiter left them past May Since that time I had visit them only 1 time at November. Quote
TotallyOz Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 I have eaten there 40 plus times in the last 2 years. Not one meal was horrible but not one was good. Mediocre is the best way to describe it. The eye candy is the only thing that keeps me going back. Quote
Guest kjun12 Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Mediocre is the best way to describe it. The eye candy is the only thing that keeps me going back. Michael, you have once again summed it up very well. That is my view also. Quote
KhorTose Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Michael, you have once again summed it up very well. That is my view also. I agree and would add one more thing. This is the only place of relative peace and quiet in the Soi. Yes, ideal for eye candy or just plain people watching as some of the Farangs are as interesting (good and bad interesting) as the cute Thai boys. Quote
Jason1988 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Standards, for food and service, have fallen over the last few years. However, you won't find a better place to enjoy watching the cute Thai boys that come into in the area. If you're just going there to drink then probably everything is about the same for you. Quote
aussie_ Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 However, you won't find a better place to enjoy watching the cute Thai boys that come into in the area. Dick's Cafe is a good location but in my opinion Maxis is better placed for viewing the passing parade. At Maxis you can see all the boys from Bonny and Bangkok Massage places. Also X Boys bar is opposite Maxis and if you find a good seat you can see some of the boys dancing. Best time is 8.00 pm onwards when the boys are arriving for work with the bars opening at 8.30. I have had a meal at Maxis many times and never been disappointed with the quality of the food or the eye candy in the soi. Quote
Guest fountainhall Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Thanks aussie_. I have noticed Maxis but become so conditioned to eating at Dick's that I never tried it. I will on my next visit to the soi. Quote
TotallyOz Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 I was able to eat there this weekend. The food was OK but nothing to write home about. I suggest you order Thai food and stay away from Farang food. Quote
fedssocr Posted May 9, 2011 Posted May 9, 2011 I don't think Maxis is really any better. Seems pretty much the same as Dick's with regard to food and service to me. But I do enjoy the table just inside the door for viewing the dinner theater. Quote
