Reviews
Most of their entrees can be adapted to being vegan, besides some of the salads, per our server, who I suspect is an owner…? And this is something we really appreciate. They have a lot of things labeled vegan on the menu but you can assume this applies to most items, “just let us know.”
Further, everyone seemed happy. The employees were all friendly. Everyone there seemed to be having a good time. It’s also a place welcoming to families. It was just me and my girlfriend, but two other tables had small children. Relatedly, they have a small store that has candy and such.
This is going to sound weird but it’s true. The water was so cold and refreshing.
Beyond the water, the food was served quickly following our orders, less than 10 minutes for sure. Also, everything tasted like it was literally just taken off of a stove.
We bought the Pineapple Cashew Fried Rice with fried tofu, the Massamon Curry with fried tofu, and the Guay Chai. We love fried tofu and being able to add that to both main dishes was like xmas. The Guay Chai seemed fresh, hot and soft, and the dipping sauce (not sure what it was) was sweet and had a thick consistency.
The portions were substantial, the pricing was more than reasonable, and the food was amazing. We brought home enough food for dinner tonight, we went early evening, and maybe breakfast tomorrow?
Note: The picture is after we had been eating some and does not include the additional rice or the Guay Chai.
Stopped in again today for lunch drunken noodles with Beef. Chicken satay, and finished with Thai Custard. All tasted great!
I was back today for lunch, I had Tiger Cry. Medium Rare sliced tender and juicy steak with a Tiger Cry sauce That’s a little sweet and also has some spice in it too. Super tasty and a little spicey too. It really works well with the sliced steak.
Let me get straight to the point. As soon as she got home, my wife tasted the food and immediately said it wasn’t good—but she let me be the judge. I took a bite of each dish, followed by the egg roll (which I had to spit out).
The Pad See Ew was completely off—missing all the usual flavors and elements, with a rubbery texture to the meat. The Drunken Noodles were, well, sober. They looked pale and, while not outright disgusting, had almost no flavor. It was like eating plain ramen noodles without the seasoning packet. The egg roll was soggy, flavorless, and tasted freezer-burned—I couldn’t even swallow it.
I was extremely disappointed. Before writing this review, I called the restaurant to speak with a manager. Instead, the chef answered. After I explained my concerns, he refused to let me speak to a manager and insisted his food was good. I tried to explain that, as the chef, he’s naturally biased, but he just wanted to argue rather than offer a solution.
I remained as polite as possible, telling him the food was simply bad. He apologized, which is a start, but at the end of the day, I spent my hard-earned money on food that went straight to the trash. Times are tough, and when you pay for something, you should get quality. I’ll be calling again until I speak with someone other than the cook—who, frankly, can’t cook.
Oh. When I asked him if he knew ‘B’, the owner of Spice, he said yeah. I asked if he ever tried his food? He paused then said he had. His slight to Spice was “I don’t use msg”. Spice is 100 times better than his stuff with or without msg.
I personally like the Basil Fried Rice and Curry Fried Rice.
