• Pleasantly surprised!

After being left disappointed at another highly-rated restaurant in the area the night before, we had misgivings about coming to this place. Boy were we surprised! We shared a veggie tom kha, and I had the tofu/eggplant green curry. The soup was delicious—warming, fragrant, sweet and sour. Hit all the spots. The curry was also great. The consistency was just right, neither too thick nor loose. Regarding the other review claiming the eggplants were "shriveled" and "black", that's what happens when you deep-fry eggplants. It's a fairly common technique used to tackle this spongy "fruit" in Chinese cuisine as well to draw out the moisture and give it a firmer, meatier, more palatable texture, so it won't end up a bland sloppy mess in the final dish. Staff was uber kind and friendly. You can feel they were trying their best to make sure everyone was taken well care of. Also there was an entire page full of veg*n options. All that said, décor was very basic with not much ambiance. Place was clean, just a little bit drab. But this was a nonissue for me. Updated from previous review on 2016-07-23
