I give this place a 3.5 star. I came here Sunday evening and it wasn't busy at all. Maybe 5 tables were occupied at most. Waiter was friendly and very attentive.
The food I must say was average. Found this place through Yelp and read all the great reviews and saw all the amazing photos. To be honest I think this place was hyped way too much. We had ordered Mac n Cheese Eggrolls, Smoked Cheddar and Creole Crab Dip, and got the Thai Fighter to share.
Mac n Cheese Eggrolls was nothing special. It was a little dry, and it did lack that creamy-ness, and cheesy-ness a Mac n Cheese should have. The Smoked Cheddar and Creole Dip was average nothing I haven't tasted before. However, I did enjoy the homemade chips they used instead of bread. Thai Fighter is J. Red's signature dish and I did not see anything signature about it. I mean it was good but again, it was nothing special. I've had and tasted better. I should've gotten the Chicken and Waffle dish instead but decided against it as everyone seemed to like the Thai Fighter so I thought I'd give it a go and see what all the rave was about. Totally regret that decision. Also, the Thai Fighter says it's spicy on the menu...it is not spicy at all, maybe a little tingle on the tongue but nothing more. Trust me, take it from someone who can't handle eating super spicy foods.
Overall, I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. It was a good experience but the food wasn't memorable enough for me to return.
