not bad, but not the BEST EVER Pad Thai. No veggies in it, just noodles and bean sprouts, the sauce was a bit overpowering.
Would never order it again.
Veggie spring rolls were awsome though.
Would go back to try something different.
PRICY!
This is our regular "Go To" place in Peterborough. Great food, funky atmosphere, and wonderful staff. Even though we go there regularly, we haven't tried many of the entrees because the noodle dishes are so good. Shrimps and Chicken are both cooked beautifully, noodles are great, and the sauces are complex and delicious.
PS. Take out is good, but eating in is much better. Noodles don't like to wait to be eaten...
We occasionally ate at Cosmic Charlie's a few years ago and it was pretty good, though we thought it was overpriced, even back then.
Recently, we ordered take out - two orders of pad thai and two orders of spring rolls. Sadly, they did not get the order right! I cannot tell you how much of a disappointment it is to receive one small salad instead of two orders of spring rolls. What a letdown! We eat salad all the time and this was supposed to be a treat. The only upside is that some lucky ducky out there probably got a nice surprise with two orders of spring rolls in place of their salad. I'm happy for them.
As for the pad thai, it was the worst we've ever had. There were basically no vegetables - the entire dish was beige. The only exception was the sprig of cilantro as a garnish. The sauce was bland and the chicken was overcooked. The noodles stuck together and sat in our stomaches like rocks.
The salad, in fact, ended up being the best part of the meal.
This food is highly overpriced. I don't mind paying for good quality food, but this meal was not worth the $40 it cost us. I have heard about restaurants skimping to keep costs down during difficult times and I can only guess that this is the reason. The meal tasted cheap.
We will never return to Cosmic Charlie's. What a huge disappointment.
Good tasty food and good service. Small atmosphere, we were lucky to get in without a reservation on a Saturday night. Dim sum was a featured appetizer and was very good. Only downfall - because of the small atmosphere, found that our clothing had very strong food smells in it when we left, but we'll still return!

Their food can be best described as: random. Some days you go it will be good. Other days it won't. The service is always good as well as the atmosphere.
