Let me start by saying I found this place after seeing the Groupon deal. After reading some of the reviews I had some concerns about service but thankfully there were no issues. We were greeted as soon as we entered and seated promptly. The server explained the drink specials for the day as well as answered any menu questions.
The not-so-good news: they were out of spring rolls! Needless to say I was disappointed as they are a staple to just about every Asian restaurant. But understanding that things happen, decided to go with the pork belly tacos and Thai chicken wings as appetizers. The tacos were the stand out of the two. The pork belly was just crispy enough like I prefer. The wings were good but average.
On to the sushi course. We ordered both the panther and honey honey roll. It was very fresh and tasty. I would have to say that I preferred the panther roll even though I'm not usually a hug fan of soft shell crab but the flavors were delicious! The honey honey roll was good too but more suited to someone looking for a more basic roll.
By the time the entrees came out we were stuffed and boxed them up to go. I was even more pleased when I went to dig into my box later that night. The spicy basil chicken and the drunken noodles with shrimp were as spicy as requested and flavorful. They work on the standard 5-star spicy rating system. We requested a 4 on both dishes and they delivered. The drunken noodles had ample shrimp and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The spicy basil was bursting with flavor while the jasmine rice complemented it well. Groupon may have lured me in but the food and service is what will bring me back!
Note: Parking is super tight so just be prepared.
