I wanted so badly to love Thai Tasty. I've heard great things, and all the reviews seem to be pretty positive. So my coworker and I took the plunge and ordered Pad Thai's to go. The gentleman who took the order over the phone was very nice. I was going to go with the medium spiciness, but he said that their mild had quite some kick to it. Hey, what do I know. Every restaurant is different, and he works there. So I got the mild.
Fast forward to me VERY eagerly opening my food...and it's bright red. I have never seen Pad Thai this color before. My coworker who ordered hers with no spice at all, also had a bright red box of noodles. So at this point, I'm confused. Is this somehow going to be a scorcher? Also what's with only like 5 bean sprouts? This Pad Thai looks really naked. Looking through pictures of their Pad Thais on Yelp, what I received looks nothing like the others. Kind of weird, in my opinion.
I love Pad Thai, and I know that some places can err on the sweet side, but this one was somewhat overwhelmingly sweet. The flavor was just off. Also, the bright red? Total facade. There was absolutely no spiciness whatsoever. I should have gone with the medium.
Anyways, in summary. The Pad Thai was not that good. But I would not be opposed to going back and trying something else - perhaps one of the curries.
