| - My husband and I ate at Ha Long Bay Tuesday. I have eaten there twice before. The second time, the food was good, not great, but fine. The other two times, it was pretty poor. Tuesday my husband and I each ordered a red curry; his was vegetarian, mine had shrimp. Both had a nice amount of vegetables, which were good. However, both of our curries had very little flavor. I sometimes make red curry at home, and I can tell that they simply used about a third of the appropriate amount of red curry paste. And this was despite my requesting medium to hot on the heat/spicy scale. Our food had zero heat. I do not understand how this restaurant gets such a good reputation. They serve the worst Thai food in Madison. It has no flavor. On top of that, the heat was broken when we got there, so we ate in freezing temperatures until they did eventually get it fixed. The prices, at least, are good, and the service was fine, aside from ignoring my request for spicy food.
