| - Recently went here for lunch with a few co-workers and I was not overly impressed. The place only had one person working, so thankfully it was not busy or we could have be waiting a long time. We were there while the lunch specials were still offered and we all ordered variations. Initially we were given menus and allowed a few minutes to decide and then when it came time to order, the waiter started taking orders and then simply forgot to take the last person in our groups order. We were a group of six and after taking the fifth order, he simply walked away and started doing other things. After everyone got to order, the food started arriving within a decent time frame considering there was only one waiter.
I started with the pot stickers and they were pretty tasty. Unlike the other pan fried pot stickers I have had, these were deep fried and it gave them a nice texture. The soy based sauce that they were served with was also tasty, flavored with slices of pickled jalapeno. I ordered the spicy basil chicken lunch special, which took longer to come out of the chicken than the other five dishes, a lot longer. When I did receive my meal, I did think the flavor was pretty good, spicy but good. Like most Thai places you order the spice level you desire on a scale of 1 -10 and I ordered a 5. I would say their whole scale is a bit spicier than most, as the 5 was pretty dang spicy. The lunch special came with a cup of very tasty vegetable soup in a clear broth. Then the main dish was the spicy basil chicken, steamed rice and one small spring roll. One pet peeve of mine is restaurants that serve canned soda, this is only made worse by charging $2 for said can of soda and that is how they do it here. All in all I rounded up and gave this place 3 stars when the service etc made me want to assign 2 stars. Overall the flavors were still quite good and that is ultimately what matters in my book. I would return buy only for the lunch special, if it was any more expensive it would not be worth it.
