I have to start by apologizing to my loyal followers by saying that I am sorry that I have not posted in quite some time. I have recently moved to New York City and am now done with my transition from California to Chicago to New York. That being said, I would like to take this time to reflect on a few bathrooms that I left behind in the beautiful San Francisco.
The first bathroom that we will venture back to is that of the T2J Thai. T2J Thai, previously known as Little Thai Restaurant. This Thai palace is located on Polk street between Broadway and Pacific Ave. You can hardly miss it with the large green yawning covering its perimeter.
Upon entering T2J Thai, the warm cozy feeling of walking into ones own home is replicated. The two level seating arrangement creates a great house-like impression. Even the bathroom reminds you of a real homes restroom. After walking down about three steps on the lower floor, a narrow hall leads to both the men or women's restroom.
Now to the good stuff! While usually the most obvious part of a bathroom is whether its single or multiple person bathroom when entering, in this case it was the ambiance. The solo bathroom is dimly lit with almost a cave like ambiance. The sink is on the left as soon as you enter. A candle on the sink aluminates most of the bathroom. While the candle has a lovely smell, it quickly becomes tacky once one notices the showing price tag. Next to the sink is a 1/2 wall which divides the "Disposal Section," where the urinal and the toilet are from "Clean Section," where the sink lies. The toilet and urinal do not have a light in their section, which means that the light from the candle is called upon. This makes the bathroom poorly lit.
The walls of the restroom are dark tan. Usually this would be soothing, however in this case it makes the small bathroom seems even smaller. Another disappointment in the bathroom is that there was wet paper towel on the floor. This is surprising since the upstairs part of the restaurant is well maintained. Besides the mess on the floor, the decor is appropriate to the restaurant as a whole.
Unfortunately, because of the mess and the poorly lit service area, I will have to admit T2J Thai a rating of 3.5. That being said, I would highly recommend eating the delicious cuisine at T2J Thai or at least stop in and enjoy the pleasant aroma of this home away from home.
