| - When in Rome, do as the Romans do--and order the curry!
---
Typically, I get nervous when I hear of a place that tries to be everywhere at once (e.g., Korean/Thai/Japanese).
But since I suspect the proprietors to be Thai, I ordered Thai dishes and was overall a decent dining experience. Not outstanding, but not bad either.
A summary of our experience (party of 4, one vegetarian):
-Vegetarian spring rolls: average.
-Tom Yum Gai soup: Not bad. Shrimp was so so.
-Kim chi soup: almost exactly the same soup base as the Tom Yum Gai soup, with a few pieces of Kimchi.
-Scallion pancakes: fried a bit too long. No idea why they decided to offer green curry as a dipping sauce.
-Dragon Roll (sushi): very creative. Fashioned a dragon's head out of wasabi, and even used two octopus suction cups for the eyes. Artful carving of radish roses and carrot butterflies. The taste was on par with other sushi rolls elsewhere.
-Kalbi (Korean): tasty, but the sauce was a bit too strong.
-Indonesian fried rice: one highlight of our meal there. Very tasty, came with a fried egg on the side and sweet Thai chili sauce.
-Green curry with tofu: tasty, but my tastebuds (and thirst center) did not lie -- it was loaded with MSG.
Again, a decent dining experience. Ambience was comfortable. Next time I'm in town, would consider it.
