| - This place wins for convenience. Hours are great (opens early, closes late). They're fast. They've got a huge menu (probably too big, really). And a pretty great location on Clifton.
I don't think their smoothies are anything to write home about. Generally, I wish they had a thicker texture. The Elvis-themed peanut butter and banana one is the best I've had so far. Although the "Classic" is supposedly their most popular, I found it very blah.
Liquid Planet definitely markets itself as a "healthy" alternative, but I'm really wondering about the calorie count of the sandwich with three different kinds of cheese and peanut butter...do they think that's healthy because it's on pita bread and also has veggies? And I'm not quite getting the "healthy" pizza they serve. Because healthy pizza is actually an oxymoron. Pizza, by definition, is not healthy -- and if I'm going to spurge on a pizza, I'm gonna go for a regular pizza. Not one trying to be healthy.
But my 4-star review hinges on just four words, four words that instantly make my mouth water: THAI. PEANUT. RICE. BOWL. Get it. At first, you may think it's nothing special. Just a bowl with rice, veggies, chicken, and a peanut sauce with a spicy kick, so what? But after you finish it, you'll crave it. You'll begin to worship it. Soon, it will own you.
Also, something about the decor seems very late-90's. Maybe their logo looks like the Backstreet Boys logo or something? Oh, and do check out their bizarre wall art featuring people, of various ages, jumping and grinning. I think they're all on Adderall.
