"Awesome.. So, I went to order some food to go for myself and family. They like their teriyaki mild, however, I like some real heat in mine. I casually asked for five stars worth of spice. He told me their highest is three, with a noted look of surprise. (most restaurants go 1-5 and I think he was going to call the 'Looney bin ' on me thinking I was insane. I replied, 'Okay five stars anyway ' since I had eaten three stars about a week and a half ago and was not impressed by the heat. He was still looking at me in disbelief so I counter offered with 'Okay, four stars then. ' he obliged my request with some hesitation and invited me to write my thoughts here. So here goes; The service and food have always been good. We used to go there when it was around the corner from the Pharmica. The four stars is very hot (Somewhere between habanero and crushed red pepper. but not quite enough for me. I intend to challenge his five stars in front him during lunch soon. Just so he can watch me eat it in person. We really like this place and will continue to get our teriyaki from Niko 's."
