The Wiesbaden location has a nicer atmosphere though. We got crab chips with our vegan order once which was weird and unnecessary.

Sure, I have also had better Thai food elsewhere in my life (but not in Mainz… , and it is not the cosiest of places. In my opinion this is a decent fast food place with tasty food, large portions, fair prices.
