"I came here with my buddy, because I wanted Tom Yum soup and Green Curry. When the waiter came to take our order, we asked for a Thai Iced tea, a pineapple (alcoholic), Fried Pork Dumplings and a Tom Yum with white meat chicken (spicky level, large enough to share with 2-4 people). For Entrees I got Green Curry (image level) and he got something from the fried rice menu (also spicy). Our waiter asked if we were sure about the spices as their food is spicier than most. My Bf and I both feel as if we were amazing in the treatment of spices. So, we both felt ugly about the spice level and excitedly told the waiter that we wanted it. Tom Yum (photo): It hurts to eat, but we both thought it was still delicious. The soup coated our tongue and lips and ensured a lasting fire. I don't sweat when eating spices, but my bf immediately began to sweat with thick balls. I had to eat the soup slowly. We were only able to finish half the soup while I know that I could finish the whole thing by myself when the spices were more tolerable. The waiter/bartender was nice enough to give me a Mai Tai (unsolicited), as he was sweating and instantly soup. The waiter explained that Mai Tai helps in burning. It did. And it was good. Pork Fried Dumplings: 6 pieces per order, the pouring skin was thicker than I expected and reminded me of Bao that was fried. I still liked it. Green Curry (picture): When I had to eat my gut, my mouth was still in slow burning pain from the soup. The green curry that had a red color was also incredibly sharp. I ate it very slowly. The waitress brought us another water ankle and asked if I wanted to make my curry less sharp (by dilution with coconut milk). I say, "Yes, please." While I wait for my duck to return, the waiter/bartender gave me another iced tea and my bf another pattern/half glass from Mai Tai, unrequired! He's so amazing. The waitress came back with my green curry, and now it is actually green! It was so much tolerable and so delish. When the waiter died again, I asked what the new spice was. He said mild to medium or “mild plus”. We took the rest of our ducks and the soup to go. We were full of all the liquids needed to extinguish the fire. At this point I was full and super happy with her service. We were well treated and the free drinks loved. The food was delish, even if we should have left the middle spice level. We were modest this experience and we will be back. We'll order mild medium."
