| - I ordered takeout from Thai Spice on the way home from work last night. It had been one of those days where I started looking at the clock on my computer at 10am, wishing it was 6 already. I called in my order when I was about 20 minutes away and was quoted the same amount of time for pickup. And true to their word, they were bringing my order up from the kitchen as I was walking in the door. Points to Thai Spice for punctuality! There is nothing that irritates me more when I am tired and just want to go home than waiting an extra 10 minutes than quoted for takeout. I ordered the Pad Thai and my boyfriend ordered the garlic beef. As I mentioned before, my boyfriend is an Asian food snob. I always get nervous trying new Asian restaurants with him because if one little thing is wrong (my god, they put mushrooms in Mongolian beef?! How DARE they! That's not authentic!) I hear about it for the rest of the meal. And I was in no mood for that last night. But luckily he was happy with his garlic beef. The quality of beef was good, and the sauce had a great flavor. My Pad Thai was...ok. I was in such a rush ordering, I didn't specify how spicy I wanted it. But then again, the girl taking my order didn't ask either. So I guess she just assumed I wanted it mild. And mild it was. All the ingredients were fresh and good, but it was missing some kick. I would order it again, but next time I'll make sure to ask for it hot. The Siam rolls we got were tasty little treats and the summer rolls were pretty good too. The only issue I had is that she packed the summer rolls in with our hot food, so they were a little warm by the time we got home. I prefer my summer rolls chilled. All in all, not bad for a suburban Thai place.
