| - The food here is excellent and is what brings me back to this restaurant. What is not so excellent at this restaurant is the service. A few colleagues and I like to venture here on our lunch break, but the ordeal takes a while.
Being seated is rarely an issue, even when the dining area is packed at noon. Once seated, however, it may be ten minutes or more before drink orders are taken-- the good thing is by then I have likely made a decision about what dish to order. At lunch, guests receive a complimentary soup prior to their order. The ginger soup is my ultimate favorite, though the Miso is a close runner up. The soup is a great way to tie you over (if you're starving like I am by lunchtime) until the dish is served. The time from order to place-mat ranges, but the average is 20 minutes or so.
The red curry is to die for!!! I order the red curry with chicken over brown rice-- at a level 2. **Levels: Dishes such as the curry, the waitress will ask you which level you want. This refers to the level of spicy you enjoy. The spice levels are very liberal; beware the higher numbers (4 is HOT. But if it is your dig, try level 9 like one colleague I know. His brow is literally sweating!) **
Another great dish is the cashew chicken (loaded with veggies). This dish is nice simply because of the veggies. Big blocks of broccoli, , red and yellow bell peppers, and onion scatter the plate. This is a nice change from the curry (no matter how much I love it), as the curry only offers a few red bell peppers.
The waitresses are polite, but not very personable, and the owner is always bustling around keeping careful watch over her business. She is certainly nice enough, but we have all agreed that sometimes her mood swings come across to us.
Definitely check out the interesting decor; there is ample of it for your viewing pleasure.
