Editorial Review for Thai Spice – by Robin Barr Sussman

In Short
The daily buffet is a big draw, but ordering straight from the menu is the freshest way to go. Soft summer rolls are a delicate and light starter. Try the Crystal Salad with crystal noodles, ground chicken, shrimp, purple onion and tangy fish sauce. There are several seafood entrees including jumping squid, basil mussels and crispy snapper. Royal-style curries and special rice and noodle dishes are also recommended.

"As1an" commented in his/her review that the un-fried rolls didn't seem fresh. And the decor isn't to this person's liking either. What this person didn't offer is specificity, so I can hardly take the review seriously. What a lame characterization of the truly fresh assortment (shrimp, chicken, veggie) of spring rolls offered. They're served with peanut and fish sauce and make a great starter. Do not miss these rolls! My boyfriend loves the drunken chicken, which is served with onions and bell peppers swimming in a light brown sauce. I love the pad thai dishes with beef and veggies and the spicy shrimp soup. The wait staff are gracious and attentive. We either dine in or take out 3 times per month. Thai Spice is a stellar restaurant for those with a genuine appreciation for fresh, authentic Thai food.

Pros: soft spring rolls, excellent service, prompt seating, friendly staff

Cons: grammatically challenged individuals writing culinary reviews

Best thai buffet with a good variety of flavorful dishes. Definetly the place to take your friends for a good time, good food, and good service.
