Da Bu Da

This is one of the places that I had heard about from someone else, or else I can honestly say that I would have probably not chose to buy the coupon for this restaurant.

Location: right by the Maxi downtown, it is a really nice location and they have a great patio outside (weird side note no one here in Slovenia actually knows what a patio is they call them terraces). Also the restaurant is really nice inside it is very western in design (I know that the design of the inside of the restaurant is no indication on how good the food is but it doesn't hurt to have a nice design)

Menu: the menu was in english which is always a bonus. Also for the student menu there are about 7 or 8 dishes that you can have any day and then on specific days they have about 5 specific dishes. Besides the huge menu another nice thing is that you can eat at this restaurant any time and even on the weekends (after 5 and on the weekends you can order anything on the menu)

Whats all included in the meal: You get the standard salad (the salad bar was alright but missing lettuce), also you get a soup of the day (it was a strange milky soup with not much flavor on my visit) and dumplings (they were delicious), the entree and a dessert.

What did I have: for my entree I went with the Pad Thai (I am a huge fan of Thai), sadly the Pad Thai was pretty flavorless. You get lots of peanuts on top which is nice but you just don't get the spice level or the specific pad thai flavor. I would not recommend it.

Fullness factor: you will leave stuffed, I had this for lunch and I was still not hungry for dinner. You get a LOT of food.

Goodness Factor: I would give my meal a 2.5 stars out of 5. It was not terrible but I just have higher expectations for my thai food I guess. That being said I am not ready to give up on the place they had some really good sounding menu items so I will have to try it again at least once more (I have to try their curry)

Bang for your Buck: I would have to say that even though this is a little more costly as far as coupons go it is certainly not out of line and you do get a ton of food. I would have to say that you get a pretty good meal for what you pay.

Price: 3.91

Will certainly be back but will not be trying the pad thai again, they had their change. Also there are two thai restaurants for coupons in Ljubljana and I have heard that one is better for pad thai and one is better for curry but I couldn't remember which was which.
