Due to the review and recommendation of my fellow Yelper Adam B. I came to Spring Rolls. Actually while I was getting lost in St. Lawrence Spring Rolls found me. And since it was raining and I needed a place to regroup and let my hair dry the timing couldn't have been more perfect.
At first glance I thought to myself this place seems a bit too trendy chic for me. I like my Asian restaurants a little more down and dirty authentic. With that in mind I decided I would get just one roll and since it was a cold rainy day a bowl of soup was in order.
The Sexy Salad Summer Roll with its smoked salmon, tiger shrimp and California greens rolled up in rice paper was the obvious choice for me and would be a testament to how fresh their fish was. The sauce served along side had a fiery tastiness that only added to the "sexy' in this spring roll.
As for the soup I went with the Tom Yum Goong which is typically a favorite for me but here it fell flat. The menu description read that it contained tiger shrimp, lemongrass, galangal, lime leaves, mushrooms, chili and lemon juice. Yet as I dove into the soup I discovered sweet cherry tomato halves which caused the soup to have an overall light sweet taste to it not at all spicy like the little chili pepper symbol next to the menu description boasted. Disappointed but still hungry I continued to slurp it up finding a plethora of seasonings hiding out at the bottom of the bowl. I deemed the cause due to me receiving the last of the soup or the bottom of the barrel to be more specific.
There is a reason why this place is called "Spring Rolls" because that is exactly what should order if you come here.
