Thai hot pot – Noodles & Company

Thai hot pot - Noodles & Company
Signature curry broth, cabbage, sprouts, Fresno peppers, shiitake mushrooms, rice noodles, pulled chicken and pork, lime and cilantro. Served with toasted Asian flatbread. $8.69
Noodles & Company, San Francisco CA

This was a pretty lame attempt at a Thai hot pot. It barely tasted Thai at all. The chicken and pork were dry and the broth was almost bland. That Asian flatbread was also weird, almost burnt, and tasted like crap. Overall, not a very good lunch choice.

Gulf shrimp pad thai – Chef Geoff’s

Gulf shrimp pad thai - Chef Geoff's
Chicken, shrimp, flat rice noodles, egg, bok choy, bean sprouts, peanuts. $19.95
Chef Geoff’s, Washington DC

This was SO gross! The chicken and shrimp were overcooked and were bone-dry. The noodles had absolutely no flavor and the other ingredients just seemed off. This was a waste of twenty bucks. Thanks for nothing Chef Geoff!

I’ve never had chicken larb with liver added before and it was delicious! The spices they add are simply amazing and I loved every bite. I love eating food with new twists that completely changes my appreciation for the original dish.
