Service was fine, ambiance is nice and the lunch special pricing is good. So why the 2?
Well.. I really like spicy food, but spice with FLAVOR.... not the kind of spice that just rips your tongue off and leaves you with no taste buds whatsoever. And unfortunately when I ordered the Panang Curry at what I thought was a pretty conservative spice level of 2 out of 4 (yes, they only give you a 1-4 range... lame), they gave me the kind of spice I HATE. I couldn't even enjoy it. About halfway through I had lost any sense of taste and I had tears coming out of my eyes. For a level 2?!
And the strange thing is, my brother ordered his dish (I believe it was the Pad See Ew) at a spice level 2 and his wasn't nearly as hot as mine. So that leads me to believe they don't really know what they're doing in the kitchen, and by reading some of the other reviews I don't think this was an isolated incident.
So that was a bummer. Maybe if I gave them a second chance I'd have a better experience, but I don't see myself rushing back any time soon.
