| - Good food, their "spice scale" is crazy, though! I have been eating Thai food for over 35 years and have never encountered a place like this (a month later in Beaumont, CA ran into the same thing, though!).
My husband and I each had a lunch special. This comes with a soup of the day, which was Hot & Sour soup. Okay, I've had that hundreds of times at Chinese restaurants, never at a Thai restaurant. I would say it had a spice level of about 3-4, noticeable after it builds for a while, but tolerable.
I ordered my Red Curry "very Mild," but not "zero." It was spicier than the soup! I made it through eating it, but just barely.
My husband ordered his dish (can't recall what he had), "medium." I thought they must have gotten our orders mixed up in spiciness. Then I overheard a young man telling his friends that he had the night before ordered a dish spiced to "4." (maybe out of 5 instead of 10??) He said he could not eat it, it was so hot.
All this to say, be careful of how you order. Over all, I would say the food is slightly above average Thai restaurant food. The prices are great and they have a Yelp check-in deal to get a free Thai Iced Tea! The service is friendly. The restaurant is tiny, tiny!
I would probably try some other restaurants before going back, but I would not say to not try it. You might have a different dish that is terrific.
I just am trying to find Thai food as good as I used to eat 25 years ago in Vegas or 35 years ago in California !
