On a Roll

"This is for Pad Thai only, did not have anything else but the Thai Tea which was just your average tea. I was encouraged by the glowing review from someone about the Pad Thai but here's my take. To start let's establish the fact that it is not bad, I wouldn't discourage anyone from ordering it but be prepared to let them know how spicy you want it, or if you don't want it spicy. I've been eating spicy food all my life so it doesn't bother me but we were not prepared for how spicy it would be, no one even asked us so we assumed it would be non spicy like every restaurant we've had it at. My wifey doesn't really like spicy food so it was not enjoyable at all for her. If you don't eat spicy food don't forget to tell them or else you're going to be sad. Besides that it was good enough, I don't like the wide noodles but that's a personal preference. It has some kind of fishcake in lieu of tofu maybe it's a Vietnamese fishcake? Interesting. I'm snacking on the leftovers as I write this at 1am so there's definitely something I like about it, almost like a different dish, like if a cook from another SE country made it...hmm wonder why... ;)"

"The average 4.5 stars is exactly right. An unassuming store front, competent food, somewhat short on attendant eating accoutrement (like forks and spoons, not just chopsticks, plus napkins.) Best was the coconut chicken curry, which had perfect flavoring on reasonable mix of tender chicken and veggies, on rice. Couldn't stop eating it. Chicken Pad Thai, on the other hand, was a bit short on everything: not enough peanut flavors in the sauce, non-existent veggies, and slightly too-sweet sauce made a sub-par experience. The shrimp egg roll was different: a cocktail shrimp w tail on, dipped in batter, then deep fried to make it look like an "eggroll" finish. Overall, deserving of 4.5 stars, but I'm opting for 4 bc the price was a tad more than what I think is fair. Ample heated outdoor seating."

"Recently went to this sandwich shop when visiting my friends in San Jose. They put a fare amount of meat on the sandwich. The price is more than reasonable given how much they put on the sandwich. Delicious!"

"Really surprised and impressed by their Chicken Pad Thai - so flavorful (and much more flavorful than other pad Thais). The tofu and egg also absorbed the flavors so well. Recommended!"

"I tried the combo dessert. I didn't know what to expect. I was impressed with my first sip, it was an explosion of sweet flavors. It was a good experience, I'm not sure I'll order it again though. But it's worth trying it once. My friend had the chicken sandwich, he like it too and he was happy with the portion as well."
