After spending all the money and energy in Concord mills, we started looking out for a thai place, apparently for my lady thai food is something that will provide her with all the energy and wisdom, lol. Nah, we both love thai food. So Yelp says go to Mai Thai II.
The restaurant was looking very neat and spacious enough, the waitress were polite and welcoming, not much crowd that night so we were seated and attended pretty quickly.
We did not try any new stuff but rather ordered our regular Chicken Pad Thai for myself and Chicken fried rice for me lady. BUT we said 'make it spicy'. Of course the waitress asked how spicy, like a 4 or 5. I wish I knew the hot/spice levels of each and every restaurant and how it corresponds to the number 4 or 5. Ugh.. I do not understand that logic of saying a number to determine the spice level, especially when its a first time to the restaurant and especially when you feel like eating spicy.
Anyways, we said 4, coz we wanted a nice spicy meal that night. My Pad thai was looking delicious, it was a treat to the eyes, loved the presentation and all BUT it was super hot, I infact loved the first few bites because there is this underlying sweetness of the pad thai sauce but after a point my mouth and my eyes were both watering lol. Pad thai was tasting really good but I would have enjoyed more if I had made a wise choice of spice level.
Chicken fried rice with extra vegetables was just as good, nothing extra ordinary or special. Again too spicy.
Bottom line - please make sure to choose wisely with spice levels. Service was great, ambience was neat.
