| - I rated it a two, because the service was better than the food. I was expecting a lot from the food, considering the reviews I read, and the prices. They are pricier than my usual Thai place, and I expected something reasonably good.
The fresh rolls are served like sushi rolls, cut into pieces. I suppose this is to mask the fact that they charge $8 for fresh rolls, and they are equivalent to less than two rolls at my regular place, which charges $3.50. The fresh rolls had a lot of carrot, which I thought was unusual for the price. Many of the usual vegetables found in fresh rolls were missing.
My wife ordered the basil chicken, and I ordered ginger chicken. My meal was hugely salty, due to what seemed like heavy use of soy sauce, instead of a more sophisticated cooking.
My wife had to send her dish back to the kitchen, because it was so spicy. They "fixed" it, and it tasted more Asian afterwards, kind of lice licorice, I guess. Not sure how that is "basil" though.
I suffered through my dish, although in retrospect I should have sent it back as well.
The waitress was very nice about it, and we were happy with her service. Restaurant management did not apologize, or say anything when they brought the bill. I went to the back to pay, and there were a few people standing around, they just took my payment, and didn't say anything or even ask again how the food was.
Needless to say, this is a never return.
