| - I love fresh rice paper rolls and after taking a quick glance at the menu, I knew I had to give this restaurant a try in spite of the what appeared to be total disorganization.
Instead of being seated, a waitress made eye. Intact and pointed to a nearby table and told me to "take that table in the middle." Seemed odd, but I followed her instruction. Another waitress soon popped over with a menu and asked for my Oder. It was going to cost me $8 for two fresh shrimp spring rolls, a bit pricey, but I was willing to spend it to give them a try.
I say pricey, because the Line Thai restaurant in Sun City only charges $3 for two and they are excellent, but as I said I wanted to give Tom Yum's rolls a try.
As I overheard customers complaining about long waits and poor service, I began to wonder if I made a poor decision and became a little anxious as I joined the other guests getting tired of waiting for my food. Suddenly my waitress appeared with a cup of soup and what I would called a fried egg roll. Both were very tasty and I now felt excited about tasting my fresh rice paper rolls.
They arrived with two sauces on the plate. They were not bad, but I preferred the sweet and sour dipping sauce that came with the fried egg roll, so I requested more from a waitress that walked by. She brought a small to go cup of sweet and sour, which was disappointing, but I made do.
To be fair, all my food was good. Not spectacular, but good. I can't say the same for the service or the environment. It was uncomfortable to hear customers complain and be surrounded with tables that needed to be bused.
I am hoping the owners monitor Yelp and see have a few customer services issues to resolve.
As for me, I will give this little spot a second try -- when I'm once again shopping in the area and want a quick bite.
