Price: I thought the price was very fair and like any other Thai restaurants out there. The food portions were very fair, so the pricing felt right.
Service: The service was pretty good. My friend and I had someone checking up on us pretty often, keeping the water filled - I'm happy with that. Food came out in reasonable time and I had no complaints.
Taste: I really enjoyed the food. I ordered the appetizer combo (which includes angel wings? spring rolls, fish cake, satay, and fried tofu. That was pretty filling in itself. Then we ordered the chicken green curry and some pad thai with shrimp. I like how the green curry was spicy enough to add the kick but not overwhelming. Pad thai was also really good. I would say it's one of the better thai food I've tried. I'm sad that I was too full for the dessert. I will have to try and update next time.
Atmosphere: I liked the atmosphere of the place. I was sad I didn't get to do the shoes off sit on the floor dining, which I would assume would feel more "Thai." I place was pretty cozy and they had a nice little bar - but I didn't drink so I couldn't tell you how the drink menu is. I was there early enough to only witness a few people, then it became pretty busy when I left.
What You'll Remember: I'm not Thai, but there seemed to be a lot of tradition decorations that had you a authentic feel to it. I felt the place was legit, especially since it had the most people there out of all the Thai restaurants I saw on Castro St.
Comment: I really liked this place. The place was cozy, the food was good, the price was fair, and the venue was very stimu

People put down the Haterade! I've been dining here for almost 10 years and I've always enjoyed the heck out of the food. They make my favorite panang curry in the entire Bay Area. I lived in Micronesia for several years and had access to all sorts of authentic Asian foods. In my experience, Amarin measures up to that standard.
Additionally, it's a great place for lunch during the work week because they have a discounted menu and the food comes quickly. The service I've had has been consistently good over the years.
I look forward to coming back soon!
This is a place that groups from my work (2,600 in mountain view) visit regularly. I dine here for lunch personally at least 3 time a month. Inexpensive prices and traditional flavors keeps me coming back for more.
Perfect for groups, low wait times (both for food and seats) even though it gets very busy.
Lunch: rice dish or noodle dish + Thai Iced Tea: $13 with tip
This place reminds me of my high school cafeteria--loud and mediocre food at best. I guess it was worth a shot since we're new in town and not too sure of our eatery choices yet. I'll remind myself not to come here again, unless I'm craving to hear babies crying, to see waiters rushing you to order, and to eat non-authentic bland thai food.
Also, don't order the house special sea bass--total rip off. They give you a small portion--enough for toddler--for $17. Not worth it in my opinion! =(
UGH, I was hoping to give them a 4 or 5 star. This place is ALWAYS packed and I hear amazing reviews but the Panang curry was just not spicy enough nor was interesting (flavorful). It was very creamy and sweet, more so than any I've tasted.
Please note, I am basing this 3 star purely on my meal and my friend's which was so-so as well.
I hear it's the best Thai in the area so I would still recommend checking Amarin out but my personal review of the dishes we ordered is a 3.
I visited here more than a year ago with my friend. Unfortunately I don't remember the food I ordered. So my review won't be very helpful.
But at least the food was great. And I didn't order Tom Yum, that day. Maybe I ordered pad Thai and son-in-law but I'm not sure. Yes, service wasn't perfect. I've just remembered it. But it wasn't a big deal. Our server was still kind. The problem was our server wasn't seen often.
I'm rating 4 stars just I feel like to. After having dinner here I became a fan of Thai food.
I had the Panang Curry Chicken lunch special - comes with a bowl of rice, cup of soup (looks water but full of flavor and clean) and som yum (papaya salad for extra $2). It was pretty good (see photo). Big, clean pieces of chicken and the curry was perfect. We had a side order of the Thai samosas, which came in three triangles for $2.95. They were about two and a quarter inches in length (way too small) and very thin with no taste - definitely not worth the money or carbs (see photo)!
We came at the lunch rush on Friday so they were pretty crowded and sort of rude, but got nicer as the restaurant emptied out. They forgot to ask us what we wanted to drink and didn't offer any kid's menu (my friend ordered plain spaghetti for $9.95 for her 3 year old, which is way too pricey for what she got). Also, my friend's cucumber salad came out after her entree, instead of before or with it. I'm pretty sure they forgot it since we had to ask for it later.
3 stars for the food - lunch special only. Minus two for the service during the rush and lack of a kid's menu (or not offering it if they have one). Would come back for the lunch special but this place is definitely not friendly for kids (if you have high chairs, you should have a kid's menu).
ARGH! This place frustrates me. The food is alright (decent curries and a pretty good selection), but the service is sub-par. I have been here several times over the years, but the service has definitely declined lately. I have had to ask for water refills several times before I received any (HELLO, I like my curry hot and I need water...please?....pretty please?.....). I can forgive slow service for great food, but the food is just good here, not great.
Here is the kicker though. They charge a large party automatic gratuity of 18%. Ok, fine, lots of restaurants do that. No problem. I can understand the extra inconvenience when I roll up with my party of eight or even six. But wait, your definition of a large party is five??? Five??? are you kidding me? Six, I could even understand, but five? It's not even like 3 couples... it's like 2 couples + 1 third wheel. It doesn't make any sense. I came here with my family for a little dinner get-together:
Me + boyfriend + parents + grandma = large party
Sorry Grandma, guess you have to go wait in the car......
Needless to say, I think this policy is silly and will patronize another thai restaurant.
I had a horrible service in Amarind one evening. I ordered noodles with mixed veggies, the server brought me two dishes - noodles, and mixed veggies on the side - and didn't bother to apologize and to add injury to the insult, charged me for both! I refused to go to Amarind for two years after that until finally my friend convinced me to give them another try. It was quite good: we sat outside, and the service and food were up to par.
However, I just ordered pad kee mao (spicy noodles) from them to go and the noodles were disgusting. They were SWIMMING in oil. And even though I asked for spicy, they were far from it. Ugh. Next time, I am going next door to King of Krung - much better pad kee mao anyway.
Good ole Amarin. The food here is not bad, though not the best Thai food I've had either. The do seem to outshine the place next door though. There is a new thai restauarant opening across the street, which will be interesting to see considering that would make 3 thai restuarants within a block. the prices here seem to creep just a bit higher, and sometimes it gets more packed than it deserves to be. the yellow curry is always a safe bet, and some of their seafood wasn't bad either. once again, its just ok for me.
Food is ok.
I found a cotton string tied around my eggroll after it was deep-fried. It kinda grossed me out.
One bad thing: I always order the same thing but sometimes it's different.
But overall, it's ok I guess.
YUCK! I hated my entire dining experience here. My friends and I stopped by here for lunch and wished we had just skipped lunch and went to taco bell.
Pros:
ummm.... the food wasn't horrible; we ordered the pad thai, yellow curry, and BBQ chicken.
Cons:
plan on waiting for at least 30-45 minutes for your food to come out.
plan on paying extra for rice, even if you order curry.
plan on having flies fly around while you are eating.
plan on practicing your flagging down skills to get your waiter's attention for refills or asking for your check.
plan on waiting for a good 10 minutes or so to get change back
i will not go back.
Loved that they had a vegetarian menu! Maybe it wasn't as busy last night because of Halloween or because we went early but the service was good as was the food. I settled on Fresh Rolls [generous portion] and coconut milk soup [which was so good.] So many vegetarian choices is a 5 for me! I didn't care for the Fresh Rolls sauce [more of a sweet and sour] so I asked for peanut sauce. My friend was very happy with the ginger she ordered and liked that it wasn't spicy. Now that I know about this restaurant I will check out their other locations closer to my home.
Fantastic vegetarian menu. The son-in-law is worth a try. Very interesting and delicious flavor combo (green apples, cashews, and tamarind sauce). Also their soy protein satay is a great appetizer. I absolutely love the spicy peanut sauce. I also enjoy their curries, especially the house curry (served in a carved out pineapple) and the faux duck.
Spring rolls and crab cakes tasted like they had spent the last one year in a food freezer in ranch 99. Our main order arrived in less than 5 minutes. Ah, the magic of pre-cooking and rapid heating at high temperatures. All the main courses tasted as if they were cooked in sauces straight out of the bottle. Fish hot pot was pieces of fish boiled in water with some Tom yum sauce and vegetables tossed in as an after thought. Spicy eggplant looked and tasted like an oil spill. Chicken in yellow sauce tasted like it looked. Vile. Food, service and ambience were in keeping with the theme of the night, Halloween!
I came here last night not knowing quite what to expect because of all the mixed reviews, but as it was already 9:30pm, there wasn't a lot of choice when one's in the mood for Thai.
Service: super efficient, although not the most polite. This may or may not have something to do with the fact that we came in half an hour before closing.
Food: reasonably priced. However, the significant other and I both got curry (mine: chicken yellow curry) and even with a big bowl of rice, the richness of it was a little overpowering. Even though I was hungry and ate through most of it, I would've liked to finish my entire order and just couldn't make it through. I also didn't want to gulp down too much of their water - there was an odd aftertaste that I couldn't quite identify.
Overall: I'd probably come again, but only because it's close to where I live, open late(ish) for my late fooding habits, and satiates my occasional cravings just enough.
Even though I am Thai but I love their food enough to know if they're good or just terrible. Amarin is kind of like your every other Pho Restaurant there isn't really anything special about it beside having the santana row features of sitting outside.
I've came here for lunch several times before I actually write a review. Just to make sure that i'm writing a accurate review and not just a one time try and It sucks kind of thing.
Their Special house dishes isn't all that wonderful. I asked for their house special fried rice and the whole shabang on their house speciality dishes. It was rather flat and dull if you ask me. Maybe it was my taste-bud that day so that was why I cam back 3 more times incase you were wondering. Their cooking is very inconsistent, one day it's good another day it's horrible. So pick a lucky day and hopefully you will get a good one.
I taste coconut in the curry, not just lightly but very strong. Our seafood was under-cooked, especially the shrimps (yuck). We asked for spicy and we got flat and there was no misunderstanding, I made sure it was clear in our order. There was one item that i was very disappointed in, the Bangkok Chicken. It came out extremely harden as if it was left outside to cool down for a very long time.
The customer service is pretty good compare to most restaurant (AHEM old krung thai),they are quick to sit you down and quick to make your food. They will be right there if you need anything and always paying attention to your drinks if you needed refill. That's a plus.
In conclusion, their food was (to me) very dull. Just like your any other average thai restaurant. just because it's in a nice location doesn't mean it has the best food. It's like buying a gucci shirt that doesn't fit you. Beside there is Thai Basil not too far from there that I thought was acceptingly good and there are 2 other Thai restaurant just down the street from Amarin. Try them all!
Oof, down from five stars on a re-review!
The disappointing thing about this place is its inconsistency. The first time I went, it was like manna from heaven. The second time, I was confused. Where was the delicious soy protein in the Rama? There's just tofu (I'm sure nobody else is this gung-ho about the various types of soy protein, but if they're going to set that precedent for vegetarians, Amarin should at least be consistent). That visit, everything was just so-so. So I tried it again this week. Best out of three!
Well, my first experience was apparently the exception and not the rule. My lonely tofu (yes, Rama again) was drowning in peanut sauce. We were seated in this bizarre little room in the center of the restaurant, with a dozen other people and no air conditioning. It hasn't exactly been cool lately, and when I asked them to turn the A/C on, it ran for about 5 minutes. Gee, thanks.
The middle-aged waitress, though, was downright surly! When our food came, my boyfriend politely asked her for the yellow curry he'd ordered, instead of the panang they'd brought him. She stared at him for a moment, then said "You ordered panang curry." He replied, "No. I ordered yellow curry." My friend and I had heard him order it. She finally acquiesced. What happened to the customer being right, or even getting the benefit of the doubt?
The bottom line: this place is disturbingly inconsistent. Probably won't give them another chance. The search resumes...

We went there on a hot Sunday after the farmers' market and sat out on the sidewalk patio. It's… Read more »
Just had dinner here last night. Horrible experienced on the food quality, and services.
We ordered crispy cat fish w/ mango salad, deep fried soft shelled crab special and spicy rice w/ prawn.
We barely tasted the fish in the salad-the dressing was very plain...
The crab was poor and overpriced...It was $15 for a small soft shelled crab! The spicy rice was not like what it was named...it was just a mixture of soy sauce and molasses???
The waitress was just dumping food to our tables. She did not even care to pick up/ clean up the table. The dishes and utensils were not clean at all.
Definetely, we will not be comming back. Ever!!!
Great Thai food at reasonable prices ($15 per person). I like their honey pork, and eggplant.
They also serve brown rice, which I appreciate.
This is the best Thai restaurant on Castro street.
The green chicken curry and beef panang were okay. This is not the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to, but it is not bad.
You have to give them guidance on how hot you want the food to be and be careful- if you tell them 10 hot, get ready for your ears to billow steam. The decor is a bit better than your average Thai restaurant and the service is prompt and friendly.
You could bring your date or boss here and feel good about it.
Try the chicken Pad Thai. You won't be disappointed.
Ate there for lunch the other day. Food was not bad - but nothing exceptional. I ordered the chicken mus-sa-mun curry, which was not bad but nothing to write home about. Would have been nice to have more of the curry to put on to the rice.
They have a pretty big menu so I'm sure they have some dishes that could use some tweaking but I have to admit this is one of my favorite Thai places in the area. The people are really friendly and offer decent service. This would be a fun place to take a group as they do have some private booths and I have done B Day dinners there before. It's also a good place to go for lunch as they do have a lunch menu and outdoor seating
My favorite dishes there are the Pad Thai, Roasted Duck Spring Rolls, Honey Pork, Papaya Salad, and Coconut Chicken Soup. The pricing is reasonable so stop by if you're in the mood for some Thai!
I came here as a second choice after realizing that Shana Thai was closed. I'd say this is above average, but not among my favorite thai restaurants. I liked that they add more spice than a lot of thai restaurants, but the dishes seemed a little heavier/richer than what i'm used to for Thai. The red curry zucchini, chicken spicy eggplant, and basil chicken were still all great.
Mango salad was not bad, but a little weird- refreshing, but I didn't think it'd be JUST mango slices without any other veggies (the flavor, with the dressing they serve with it, gets a little tiring).
It's a huge restaurant, but a little worn and poorly decorated. that's what brings it down to 3 stars.
If I had one word to describe Amarin Thai, it would be "bustling."
If I had a whole phrase, I would say: "large, attractive, busy Thai food spot with indoor and outdoor seating." For good measure, I might add "prime Castro Street people watching"
I have probably been to Amarin Thai at least 20 times in the last 5 years. That's because it is dependable, quick, reasonably-priced, and the food is always good. I really like their extensive menu, including a large selection of rice noodle dishes. As other have said, this place is often crowded, usually a turnoff for me. But even at peak times I have rarely had trouble getting a table, and service is so efficient that I can still go here if I'm in a relative hurry to eat lunch. The outdoor seating is extensive both in front and on the patio in back, where they often provide a Thai buffet in the warmer months.
A few other yelpers have complained about the bad "attitude" of the staff here. Personally I've never experienced any of that. They staff does seem very rushed, maybe even distracted, but that's about it. The only service snafu I've experience was when I arrived way past the lunch hour, sat out front, and the staff forgot I was there. But the other 19 or so times, service was speedy and professional.
Here are some of my recent lunches here:
-- Spicy and crispy catfish - $8.95: Fresh and delicious with a nice kick (I ordered medium spicy and it was just right). Perfectly cooked veggies and fish. Not a huge portion but big enough to satisfy
-- Mus-sa-mun Chicken Curry - $7.95: Perfectly cooked chicken and potatoes in a thick, tasty sauce. More peanuty than other version I've had. Portion looked small but filled me up.
-- Wide rice noodles with gravy sauce - $7.95; a great choice for a chilly day; Large, filling and savory; with chicken and broccoli on top, smothered by a delicious, light flavorful Thai gravy.
Thanks Amarin Thai, for being there whenever the Thai Food urge strikes.
Went there for an early dinner (5:30pm) on a weeknight. Hostess did a fair job in her job - could've been better, service was adequate, friendly busboy who kept our water glasses filled. Pad Thai was fair..nothing to write home about. I wouldn't go here again. Plenty of other restaurants on Castro street.
Totally uninteresting thai food. The lunch specials aren't cheap. They deliver the food haphazardly. The only reason to go here might be because it's the best Thai on castro. I suggest getting something else for lunch.
Food was good, especially the Chicken Satay. That was SOOOOO tender.
But I'm deducting stars for service. Water glasses not refilled on time. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM - We had gone with our 7-month daughter, who was asleep till towards the end of the dinner. Then she woke up, and (like a normal baby) cried. What we notice is, the waiter came over asking if we were done, even when there was food on my husband's plate. That is plain WRONG. We had to rush anyways, so we wound up the dinner and made a quick payment, rather than arguing with the idoitic waiter.
To begin with, Amarin is definitely not the quietest of places, where they need to worry about the ambience. Plus, its only natural that families with kids would bring in some noise and they need to be empathetic of that!
Anyways, we would NEVER return to this place in spite of the fact that we absolutely loved the food.
Breakdown of my rating
Food: 4
Price: 4
Service: 3
Decor: 2.5
Cleanliness: 3
Thai restaurants to me all relatively taste the same but for some reason, I like this particular place a little more than the others. Maybe it's because there were so many people seated outside for this restaurant (and the thai restaurant next to it was close to deserted) Maybe it's because I was just really hungry and just wanted to feed my stomach, not really go for quality.
Whatever it is, this place hit the spot. The decor makes me feel like I'm in some temple but that's not the point for coming here.
First of all, all Thai places I've been to has been pretty cheap; this place is no different. We ordered the Honey Pork, Pad See Ew and Fresh Roll with Duck. The Honey Pork is DELICIOUS (or the sauce is) so I'm definitely a fan of this now. It's slightly sweet and comes in a separate saucer so you can put as much or as little as you want. The Fresh Rolls with duck was surprisingly good. Since it's not as common, I always forget how tasty duck is and this place made it pretty well. The sauce comes with hoisen (?) sauce topped with wasabi sauce. If you're like me, just push away all the wasabi stuff and you're good to go. The Pad See Ew is good but it's just like every other Thai restaurant. I just like to order it because I like consistency and I like that it's not spicy haha
I don't know what other people ordered but when I was looking around, it looks tasty enough that I wanna come back to try the other dishes
Nothing mind-blowing, but it was definitely a lot more satisfying than the Thai food experience I had in Daly City a couple days earlier so I was a happy camper!
Excellent service! Our server was very patient with my indecisiveness as to what drink to order and others came regularly (but not annoyingly often) to check up on us.
Food:
-Samosas: MMM my favorite and that peanut sauce, YUM!
-Chicken yellow curry: super coconut-y! On the thicker & richer side.
-Chili seafood: Good, but we got medium and it was SPICY!
First Thai restaurant I've been to that serves drinks besides beer. My friend had the peach mojito and I had the white russian. The mojito was just ok because it was made with peach rum and not actual peaches.. but what do you expect from a Thai restaurant? The white russian was a little strong for my taste, but still good.
Happened here b/c another restaurant had too long of a wait. Passed up Krung Thai (that place was empty!!)
we got to sit at the "authentic" sunken table seating. very cool. good for kid that liked running around in circles around the table...
the food was good. the dessert portions were HUGE and the mango with the sticky rice was very very good.
good service, though took awhile to hail someone to give us our check, take our check..
will definitely come here again.
looks good for groups/meetings...
I agree with many of the recent reviews...this place is fair. The pad thai was okay, but service was slow and not with a smile...and they didn't refill the water glasses. 'Nough said! With all of the choices on Castro St. in Mountain View, I would be hard-pressed to go back.
I've been here a number of times over the years. While the food has never been stellar, it was not complaint-worthy. My lunchtime visit with my mom last Friday completely spoiled my neutral opinion of this place - disappointing dishes, unaccomodating service.
I wanted to try something new, so I inquired about the Pan Fried Bean Thread Noodles, Chicken & Veggie with Special Sauce. Instead of a clear explanation, I was told it was "duh bean noodow wi duh reh saw". Whatever. My desperate piehole was excited for some warm special sauce. When the dish arrived, not only did the "bean thread noodles" turn out to be rice vermicelli, but the sauce was a questionable orangey-red liquid that tasted strangely sour and faintly spicy. The chicken also seemed out of place with the soupy mess, deeming the entire mixture a complete failure.
My mom's Pad Thai was soggy and weird. When she asked if it was made differently than usual, the server tried to convince her she was confusing Pad Thai with Pad See-Ew instead of trying to find out the problem. My mom hated her dish so much she would not stop complaining like a broken record. You know when women get older they just bitch and bitch. My eardrums almost exploded from her continuous bitching about the stupid noodles. THANKS AMARIN!
Another one of my favorite Mountain View stops. They have a great house special, shrimp served in a carved out mango. Another favorite is the pineapple shrimp curry, similarly served in a pineapple. For desert, the fried banana with ice cream is really tasty. Definitely fun on a warm evening to sit outside and watch the people go by.
The food was good. The service really bad.
We were celebrating a friend's birthday and the food was brought in as it got ready. We first got 1 lunch dish when we had ordered Ala Carte. Then the rice. We had ordered brown rice which never came. We got the Satey after that and then the rest of the food. The soup made it after and then the ice tea and coffee when we were paying the bill.
The bill had brown rice on it. When I asked to talk to the manager, they did not have one on the floor. He had to leave early.
It was not the best choice to make someone's day.
Solid. Outdoor seating is a plus.
Thai iced tea was perfectly done, but cashew chicken was a bit short on chicken and a bit heavy on peppers. I'd go back, but probably get a different dish next time.
came here for lunch with a co-worker and the place was packed!
parking is scarce around this area, so beware
the cool thing about amarin is that they are vegetarian-friendly
i'm not a vegetarian myself, but i thought that'd be useful
everything on the line menu is around 8-10 bucks each
we shared the spicy eggplant with pork, bellpepper, and basil and thai noodle salad, they were both very tasty.
i def recommend the spicy eggplant, it's not very spicy at all, but very good.
All the times I've eaten here, the food is consistently yummy but a little pricey for the amount that you get. I love the yellow curry chicken, but I wish they'd throw in more vegetables. Tonight's order only had a few pieces of potato and one carrot. We also shared the mango chicken special and spring rolls. My friend wanted something with a sweet-and-sour sauce, but nothing fried. The waitress recommended the mango chicken, and it was very good. Chunks of mango, chicken, and cashews were cooked together in a sweet but tangy sauce and served in hollowed out mango shells. It wasn't something I would have thought to order on my own, but it was really delicious.
Service was very attentive, and I especially liked the older gentleman (I assume he's the owner) who came by to joke with our table. He seemed to be making the rounds and making sure everyone had a good time.
If I still lived in Mountain View, I would probably eat here pretty regularly.
Have only eaten here two times and I'm definitely into it.
My first time here I tried the Mango Chicken. The coolest part of the meal was, shocker, they served my entree inside a pineapple! Very creative, indeed. I was also able to try their green and red curries--names of which I couldn't pronounce or remember! But they were tasty!
The second time I ate here, I tried their Angel Wing (red) Curry. WOW! There was so much food I had to convince my friends to try one of the wings. Very tasty and had the right amount of curry. I always hate it when there is so much curry you can't finish it. This dish had a decent amount and the filling for the Angel Wings was tasty.
ALSO: While both times I only drank water, I enjoy the fact that they add lemon to the table water. OH! And my friend gave me a sip of his Thai Iced Tea. NOM! NOMS!!!! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's the Lowdown:
Food-wise: Absolutely delicious! A grand variety of items to order. I was impressed by their separate and quite large vegetarian menu.
Ambiance: Inside deco is lovely. I hope to eat at their floor type tables one day. Outside was kind of plain. Tables wobbly but not enough to have great concern.
Price-wise: A bit above average. Plan on spending 15 bucks or so.
Only real complaint here: I am a BIG fan of spicy food. But I couldn't help but empathize with my friend who ordered the 4-Spice Pork. The dish was ridiculously hot. I tried a couple bites of this dish and I was sweating bullets. Hello! Mexican can't stand the heat!? I clearly remember seeing somewhere in the menu that they could tweak the spiciness of any hot foods. I was disappointed that our waiter didn't ask how spicy he wanted his dish. Almost ALL Thai restaurants I've been to will ask this question.
We both learned an interesting lesson, though: Red Curry doesn't quite kill the spicy hotness in our mouth.
Went to Amarin today during lunch ... better off going else where!?!?!?!
The lady sat us but our table was unstable and kept moving through out our meal. The waitress poured water into my cup and I swear there was something floating in it but I guess it was just the inside of a lemon. We ordered our food and got our soup pretty quickly. I barely took two sips of the soup and out comes our food. I ordered the Pangang Curry and was not happy with it. It seemed that they just warmed it up and sent it out.
I also requested to have my food spicy but when I tried it, it was very bland and luke warm =( So disappointed, I had to ask for their hot sauce and basically just ate all the jalapenos that was in their jar. OMG ... none of their hot sauce were hot at all ... either hella salty or watery =( Would not go there again, not even if someone else paid for it!
Oh yeah the waitress weren't the most friendliest people ... felt like we were bothering them when trying to order and asking them for things.
