Q: PROS: 1. The resto is very small and quaint. The lighting highlights the food yet is dark and red at the same time. Good for those who get the Asian glow from alcohol! :) 2. The ramen was yummy but nothing special. OVERALL: -Cute intimate little place for a date or casual eats. -Not a place I'd rave about, but a good option if in the area.

Q: I just moved to the neighborhood and I've been trying out local places. I was craving Chinese food for lunch and remembered seeing Good Taste House when I was driving down 7th Street. My first instinct was to check yelp, and I must admit I was weary when I didn't see any reviews. However, every time I drive by, it smells really tasty, so I decided to give it a shot. My boyfriend and I ordered two of the rice bowl lunch specials. He got the orange chicken, and I had the chicken with broccoli, both on a bed of steamed rice. Delicious! They are about the size of a panda bowl from Panda Express but so much tastier! And the price - it's a steal at $3.99! You can upsize the lunch special to come with fried rice, a spring roll and a crab puff for $2 more. I can't wait to try more of the items on the menu based on my experience today. I'm attaching the menu in the photos. Hopefully the presence of a Yelp review will drive more business their way, because it's definitely a hidden gem. :)

Q: Read about it in some Phoenix guidebook, it is one of a kind place that is for sure. Place is located between two antic furniture stores so when you walk in you have furniture all around and then you walk into an old cafe. Witnesses are dressed the part since the placed opened in 1928 and look super cute, everyone is very friendly. I ordered beautiful green pistachio shake that was out of this world. Cool place to visit.

Q: Disclaimer - my experience with Deejai was take-out and not dine-in. While trying to decide between Thai Taste and Thai Orchid with some friends, we decided to give Deejai a shot. Here's my rundown of our experience: Called in order. Person that answered the phone and took our take-out order seemed to be annoyed that we called. Could've been a bad day, but he was off-putting. Items we ordered: Mee Krob - requested chicken mee krob instead of shrimp. Not sure if this messed up the order but when we got it, it was cold and the chicken was really chewy. This dish at Thai Orchid is cut up very small and easily wrapped in the lettuce. We also got about 10 minutes away and realized that they didn't include the lettuce. Turned around and went in to get the lettuce, they gave me a small chopped head of cabbage. Went back in a second time to get lettuce and actually got it this time, although there were only about 3 actual leaves, and the rest was the inner part of the lettuce head that's unusable for wraps. Jeeb Sai Moo/Curry Pot Sticker - No complaints about these Deejai Gai Krob - No complaints about this dish, was apparently very good Pad Kra Prao/Spicy Basil - No complaints except the person ordering it expected it to come on egg noodles and not with jasmine rice Pad See U - ordered one chicken Pad See U and one shrimp Pad See U with extra spiciness (two stars). Chicken Pad See U was fine, Shrimp Pad See U was not spicy and the shrimp was rubbery. Fortunately, there's a lot of good Thai restaurants in Charlotte, and I think we'll be sticking with Thai Taste or Thai Orchid from now on.
