| - Finding a moderately priced BYOB in the burgh was quite the task! In Philly BYOBs are everywhere!! (They even have an interactive BYOB map with closest Liquor Stores listed.)
Admittedly, I chose this place because of the prices and the BYOB option (corkage fees are a pain, this was a $3 charge per bottle of wine).
Like most BYOBs, this restaurant was small with maybe 7 tables. The server politely told us the kitchen closed in 15 minutes (it was only 8:00pm, damn.)
I started off with the mushroom lemongrass soup, I wasn't a big fan but I tried something new and sometimes it doesn't always work out. I ate about half of the soup then my Spicy Shrimp Salad arrived. The salad was great! The dressing was a spicy ginger concoction with about 6 pieces of shrimp intermingled. Yum!
My friend got a Pineapple Curry which wasn't spicy at all (she ordered a 9 on the spicy scale) and almost bland. My other friends got Spicy Fried Rice, Chicken Satay and Chicken Curry which they all enjoyed!
Pros: CHEAP, BYOB, convenient location on carson, accept credit cards (so many byobs are cash only), CHEAP, decent food
Cons: closes early, corkage fee, spicy things aren't that spicy
Overall: Check it out if you want a byob with cheap food! If you are going out in Southside BYOBs are a great pre-game option haha...but seriously.
