Deejai, I want to love you. I do. Sometimes you take me in your arms and give me what I crave. Other times, it's like you aren't even there, like you don't care any more. I deserve better than this, but I keep coming back to you. \n\nIt's embarrassing when someone I care about comes into town and it's my responsibility to take them to a favorite local place and really show off what Charlotte has to offer. And I bring them to, say, Deejai Thai. We order. We get two bland dishes. We send them back and reorder, and get 1 amazing dish and another bland dish. I can't keep going like this, Deejai. I need someone who's there for me all the time. \n\nI want to give this place a 3, earned wholeheartedly by their curries, spring rolls and their drunken noodle. They are hands down the best in the area. But without the support of a good Pad Thai and many other dishes, I can't reasonably give this more than a 2. \n\nStray not beyond the confines of those few dishes, for you will wander into a world where taste, spice and flavor have been forsaken. And you will be sad, and embarrassed if you've talked the place up to an out-of-towner. \n\nCelebrity most likely to enjoy eating here: \nCharlie Sheen: I imagine he'd be too drunk to care about the blandness of the dishes. \n\nHalf hour to live and I have to get my last meal here: \nThe drunken noodle never disappoints.
