| - Some of the friendliest counter folk, perhaps ever. At least some of it could be due to the location - despite knowing where you are going, you need to be on the lookout, as they are not only in a business park, but the park itself is a bit downhill from the road, and there is not a ton of signage, so be prepared.
Once there, you also need to figure out how to get in. They are located on the corner, but the "main" door is over on the one side, and there is a back door (somewhat like the back door at McDonald's, that is by the bathroom), and you can go in that way, but you'll end up in the back. The front door is a bit better.
Regardless, once you are there, they ask if you've been. Since it was my first visit, I don't know if they do this for everyone, or if it was just me, at which point they asked if I wanted to try some rice (or perhaps if I liked rice, but the idea is about the same). Since I'm all about the rice, I went with it, and then proceeded through a few other questions to try and find a good menu option. Several tastes later (and rapidly getting filled up already), their suggestion was a jerk chicken.
It actually was tasty, but I'm not a huge fan of jerk, so I decided to go a different direction, with something more Asian/Thai inspired. Again, the flavors were good, but a couple of things did just not hit the taste buds quite right.
The rice was a bit wet. This isn't a horrible thing, but it meant that it wasn't like a fried rice. The other thing is that the Thai Chili (closest I can come to describing the sauce) was more of a sweet sauce, with little heat to it. They did add some homemade hot sauce, but it wasn't a Thai sauce, more like a Tabasco or Texas Pete.
Since I was rather full already, I saved half of the regular (?) - the medium sized bowl and ate it later, at which point the flavors had mingled nicely. Ultimately it was a nice experience, but for those particular flavors, I think I would go elsewhere, and perhaps choose a different direction.
