| - I've ordered takeout a couple of times from Cha Da, and can now offer a fair assessment of my experience. Anyone can have a bad day right?
First things first, the service is great and you get 10% off if you pay with cash (nice bonus) and a good reason to let the plastic cool off.
The first time I ordered the spicy eggplant lunch special (a couple of weeks ago), it had VERY good flavor, the eggplant was deliciously soft and well cooked...unfortunately, it was drowning in grease. I'm not a grease-a-phobe. I can enjoy greeeeezy along with the best of them. But this was a bit much.
They had run out of their soup, so I had it with the side salad. The side salad was very tasty and fresh.
Today, I figured I'd give it another try. This time, the eggplant dish was still soft, still well cooked, and it was not greasy. In fact, it had very VERY little sauce at all. Which is something I can overlook if I have to. But not only was it not spicy, it was lacking flavor and spices. Very pretty to look at, but bland. The soup, however, was DELICIOUS! So was the thai iced tea.
Since it is really close to work, I'm sure I'll be back, but I doubt I'll order the eggplant again.
