| - Lemongrass was very good. Classier and more than twice the price of what we'd get for something similar in LA, but the cuts of meat are nicer, the waitstaff is very pro and attentive, and the ingredients are top notch.
However, the tom kha was EXTREMELY spicy. Like, Thai spicy. As in, we asked for medium (I've been to thailand twice and can handle some VERY spicy food) and we were served something we could barely eat. It was vert tasty, so I downed it, but had to pay with a tummy ache later. That said, most Thai places take the really spicy Thai peppers, split them with the side of a knife, and put them in for flavor. Lemongrass seemed to have ground up the peppers iN the soup, which is kind of a no-no, as it was just WAY too hot, and killed the flavor, so we had runny noses and fire-burned tastebuds.
The Shanghai rice noodles, although not Thai, were delicious, and perfect, and beautiful form the tri-colored bell peppers. VERY nice, good food (save the crazy spiciness of the soup), and kind of what you'd expect from an upscale casino restaurant. Not cheap, but good, and it was the only place open for lunch at 3 o'clock.
