| - I had heard about Tangerine from a friend of mine, and then realized it is in the plaza beside my periodontist. So, being stuck in Scarborough, hungry after a tremendously long appointment we decided to grab a bite before fighting rush hour traffic back DT.
the SO and I entered, sat down and were offered Chinese Tea ($2). The place is newish, very clean, so that's fine. We ordered based on the servers recommendations, all items marked 2 chili. (presumably spicy)
We had a beef dish, the chili and garlic eggplant dry, and Szechuan fish wet. The fish sauce was VERY gloopy. The unfortunate thing was that NONE of the dishes were spicy what-so-ever. We were liberally dousing our meals with the table-top chili sauce. You would only assume that two chillis on the menu, and asking for the "spiciest" would get you a small amount of heat?
It was fine, run of the mill, cheap Chinese food. Which was a shame as I wanted Hakka, or SPICE in the least. Service was ok, I would not rush here by any means but we might return of in the same situation again. I will be very clear with my want for HEAT next time. Disappointing.
to the 1 star review... you really expected good PAD THAI from a CHINESE/INDIAN restaurant? Are you dreaming?
I'm with Min Min. 2.5 stars
