| - Not bad. This place threw me off initially, wit the "seat yourself" sign. I was actually hunting for what I thought might be "Typhoon." Said screw it, walked inside. The decor seems purposefully cobbled together with random items, sliding barn doors, barrels, but mixed in with glass and steel.
Food. Good. Only peeve about this is that I'm pescatarian, so I am pretty limited to eating stuff with tofu and/or shrimp. I wish they had more veggie options for appetizers. Since they don't do subs or removals, don't even bother thinking of asking about it. Easier on the kitchen taff, harder on you. But, i can roll with the minimalism.
Also, the spice levels. I asked initially is it "American-style hot" or "Thai-Style hot." Think Thai-style plus "Holy Crap." They go wild in the kitchen. I went for a 3 on the 5 scale and was on fire. I like the heat, but the cooks have to cool out with whatever they are doing in there. I now go for level 1 on the scale, then add hot sauce to taste. Even that was scary. I put a dime's worth of sauce on some Pad Thai, and that lit up the whole plate. I'm not an American wuss, but I was struggling.
The staff service is OK, mostly friendly, but I think that when the traffic ramps up, you can see the stress on servers faces. Understandable, but a little distracting.
I love the drink menus. Mexican Coke? For the win.
All in all, not bad, but could use an extra "something."
