First time ordered food at South Sea Thai Kitchen. At first we were confused where to park, but we figured it out to park in the back. Table only two inside left and right.Luckily we were planning to order for pick up anyway.The lady that was on the phone is the same as the one who interacts with me today and she was not that friendly nor to rude basically there’s no smile or welcoming vibes.Papaya salad $8.99 with adding 4pcs of shrimp extra cost $4 a bit pricey to my opinion but since I was the one who wanted and asked for shrimp I guess I had to accept it.Shrimp drunken noodles was not the best, I had better somewhere else. They used different type of sauce.Basil fried rice with shrimp was pretty good.. they put carrots a bit too much though. Carrots sliced flowers, carrots julienne cuts. Also they need to update the price on their website because didn’t match. Lemongrass soup for $7.99 that mostly broth and 3 small shrimp is overpriced.Lastly level 1 is pretty spicy to me but the spiciness that I still can handle it. I like spicy but not that much. For people that don’t eat spicy at all need to tell them if they can make it not spicy on the dish. - Lizzay B
