This location is certainly not as good as the one on Maryland. I ordered S1 and my fiance ordered the combination fried rice. Our food took approximately 45 minutes to be served to us. We thought they were still trying to catch, kill, and cook the chicken somewhere in the back.
Prior to that, we ordered 2 Thai iced teas and 2 waters when we first sat down. The waiter brought 2 Thai iced teas and 1 water with 2 straws. I pulled up Yelp and found a check-in deal for a free Thai iced tea and asked if I could use it, showed him the coupon on my phone, and he said yes. So I assumed that meant they would just count the one just served to me as free. But instead, he brought me another Thai iced tea. Silly me...
Cut to the food. My fried rice was nice and hot, yet my chicken was room temperature, borderline cold. If there's anything that grosses me out is chicken that feels like it's been sitting out. My fiance's fried rice was nice and hot. Funny thing is when the waitress brought our food, she apologized for the delay and said it was due to not having bean sprouts. What bean sprouts? There were no bean sprouts in the fried rice.
Lastly, this restaurant looks, feels and smells like a dark moldy basement. There are no windows in the main dining area, the tables are sticky, the floors in the bathroom are sticky....all around just dirty and gross. I don't know if I just have high expectations; I'm from L.A. so I've been to the original on 3rd plenty o' times. Definitely won't be back here.
