I feel like Bart Simpson after he ate that bad Krusty-O ... only I didn't eat anything bad, per se. But I would 'se' that the amount I ate was bad- very bad. Because Good God, am I in pain now. Okay, maybe I feel more like when Bart Simpson is imagined in the future being morbidly obese as media folk stare and take photos. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSJQEl5vcAo God, I love that quote. Only I'm not the 8 second version. Oh no. I'm the 11 minute loop. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpa1oCfpW3k Hyup... it's not a pretty scene up in my person right now. And holy hell was I happy the bathroom is one of those giant single person dressing-room types of loos (has one for the Fs and one for the Ms, too). It restored my faith in Jeebus, that's for sure. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVwCYJj4THQ&feature=related But I don't blame Tai San Chef, or their 20 page menu of Chinese, Japanese, and Thai creations. I blame my gluttonous habits and the broken switch in my head that should be saying "Stop eating, Stupid!" Overall, the food was aight, yo. I could probably go a 3 star but their portion sizes are no joke, I really liked my veggie soup, and the place is unassumingly large and WAY cuter than I had expected inside. A few notables~ -Their first menu page shows a bunch of photos of bubble tea and has a flavor list but says 'smoothies'. Just to be sure, I asked my server guy and he said they don't have bubble tea, only smoothies... Bummer! Until I see a table across the way who clearly has bubble tea. I assume he made a mistake and I decided to just say the flavor I want while pointing to the bubble tea on the menu and just hoping I got what I wanted. What did I get? A plain ole frickin' smoothie. LAME! What's a girl gotta do to get some boba around here? -My Spicy Basil Leaves and tofu dish wasn't very spicy and it had that super thick syrup-y sauce I've found to be indicative of Chinese food restaurants who try to add in some Thai tastes. To me, it's just too heavy and you don't get to taste the veggies the way you would if it were the thinner Thai chili sauce. -My fortune cookie arrived broken. :( -Free (and delicious) almond cookie at the end -The place was PACKED at 6:00 on Wednesday evening -Service can run a bit behind but it appeared as if just one young guy was serving all 15 tables in the area where I was sitting. NOT an easy feat. Keep this in mind and tip well- that boy busts his ass. -Like I said earlier, the veggie soup was delish! -The spring roll order was HUGE and though not very flavorful, I did still enjoy it as a filler. I would go back to try their hibachi, sushi, or the super cheap Mai Tais I've heard about, but I think I'd stay away from the Thai food as it doesn't seem to be their specialty. read more
