Looking to try Spice Route during Winterlicious? DON'T!
I decided to try Spice Route with two others during Winterlicious. Both of my guests had tried Spice Route previously and highly recommended it. Their Winterlicious menu was advertised as an all you can eat, Asian Street market styled event all for the price of 40$. I'm a huge fan of Asian Street food and I love trying new places during Winterlicious, so I thought this would be great! Boy was I wrong.
To sum up my experience: dry, cold, overcooked and limited selection. For example, all the meat skewers in the meat section were super cold and dry. The lemon chicken they had tasted like it would have been good.. Had it not been mega overcooked! I only found one decent dish in all the stations (the curry shrimp) but besides that, everything else was terrible. Honestly, it felt like they paid Manchuwok to cater for them during this 'food event'. I take that back. Manchuwok probably has better food.
My friends that had previously eaten at Spice Route were confused. They kept telling me how it wasn't like this before . Even so, I'd probably never eat there on a non-Winterlicous night.
I left that restaurant feeling scammed. I've had bad food and restaurant experiences before, but I've never felt scammed.
My advice to you reading this: take that 40$ and spend it elsewhere. In fact, you'd probably be happier spending that 40$ at McDonald's. Avoid this place. Especially during their 'food events'.
