| - Siracha was a disappointment. The happy hour $1 specials (edamame, spring rolls, gyoza dumplings) were probably the best part of the meal. The sushi looked drab and clearly had been prepared well in advance. The biggest disappointment, though, was the red curry. My wife is from Thailand and we make this often, and trust me, it's pretty hard to mess up. The flavors of SE Asian cuisine should be a balance of hot, sour, salty, and sweet. In this case, we got a hint of heat, but not much else. It tasted as if they'd taken a bit of red curry paste, added coconut milk, threw in some chicken, and called it a day. It had none of the fresh vibrant flavors that wake up a great Thai curry.
Just to echo previous comments, the service is slow and inattentive (despite having only two tables occupied; the other table became irate and were offered free drinks). So this place is okay for happy hour, but don't expect anything special. And be in a patient state of mind when you arrive, perhaps recite the mantra of compassion while you wait for your drinks.
