"I went to the restaurant for happy hour with my friend and decided to order the California Pad Thai. About thirty minutes after finishing my meal, I started experiencing terrible stomach cramps, to the point where I couldn't even stand up. The next day, I realized that my discomfort may have been due to my intolerance to MSG. I called the restaurant and the host confirmed with the cook that they did use MSG in that dish. I explained that they should have a warning on their menu for customers like me who have serious intolerance to MSG. The host offered to let me speak with the manager, and after waiting on hold for close to 10 minutes, Robert came to the phone. He apologized and said they used to be an Asian fusion restaurant and may still use MSG, even though it had already been confirmed. He promised to investigate further and make sure the staff was aware and update the menu. However, he never followed up as promised. This lack of attention to a serious issue was unacceptable. MSG is a harmful food additive that is commonly used in many restaurants without warning. I urge everyone to be cautious and inquire about ingredients when dining out. I will not be returning to this establishment."
