You came here to see if it's worth going. One thing you need to know: it's delicious.
It's a little on the expensive side but that's what you get for ordering from an independently owned restaurant. I order from there at least once a week. Lovely service, friendly owners.
It's definitely worth going. -

Relative newcomer Spicy & Sweet is in a storefront that's hosted a series of tiny, cursed mom & pop restaurants. Before this it was the Jamaican place with the lovely service and grade D breakfasts. Before that, it was a Cuban joint so authentic the meat wasn't seasoned. Can Spicy & Sweet break the curse?
Maybe. Service is helpful and friendly, and prices are low. Domestic beer is less than $4 a bottle, and their couple of imports are barely over that. The Chinese Wok selections are pretty good. We both really liked the Gong Po Chicken, which was deep-fried & served in a Szechuwan sauce with fresh, still-crunchy vegetables. My husband loved the Tender Chicken for its' simplicity, but I found it a bit bland.
We didn't order from the Thai part of the menu because my husband had found the Pad Thai bland on his previous visit - my understanding is that the family is Chinese, and is still perfecting their Thai. Still, I'm not going to write it off yet - if I can learn to make a fairly authentic Pad Thai, so can they.
They haven't had a ton of money to invest in the place, but they've done surprisingly well with a new coat of colourful paint and some recessed lighting.
This should be a 3-star review, but something about the visit (and the cheap beer) won me over. I think we'll visit again, or take advantage of their delivery service.Listed in: Thai Thai Thai Love Love Love
