| - I went for a late lunch on Saturday, no other patrons. Hmmm. Interesting. My confidence for stopping in, between errands, was waning. But, nice decor. New and clean. Counter Service. 2 Asian gals in charge at the counter. Based on their recommendation, I ordered the spicy basil fried rice (jumping rice) with chicken. The portion was a good size but for $12 I think it should be. I'm not sure that I've ever paid $12 for chicken basil fried rice even at a trendy Thai restaurant in San Francisco.
I think the flavor was great albeit spicy (so not for everyone). It includes finely chopped fresh veggies, and large and smaller pieces of chicken, basil and many chili peppers (that I picked out and did not eat because there was plenty of spice going, no need to eat them). I ate about 1/3. But got to, and bit into, a large piece of chicken, that was not cooked all the way through. I spit it out. I used my fork to cut into another large piece. It wasn't cooked through either. The smaller pieces were though. I ate those. I took the remaining rice to go. I did not complain, because I knew when I warmed it up for a snack later, the chicken pieces would cook through. I ate leftovers later that evening. After 60 seconds in microwave, all was good.
Will I go back? Probably not because for the money there are many other good Asian places.
