Having been to this restaurant many times I was always impressed with the food. Taste was good; certain menu options packed some heat. Tom uses a bit more oil than I would prefer but it is something that I can look past.
Some of my favorites there are the curry chicken, seafood combination, empress chicken, or the chicken rice soup.
You can always stop in to place your order then go next door to the nitty gritty for a cold beer before going back to get your takeout.....just a thought.
