spice route

hello yall. today's my bday, and since i've been out and about eating, haven't been able to post in a while.

so, i give you: spice route. this is a newly opened 'resto-lounge' on king that brings the ever popular asian-fusion foods and drinks to your typical bay street banker. i've eaten here a few times cause i have a friend who enjoys the atmosphere (you can smoke on a pretty patio). all in all, this place is 'aiiiiight'. nothing spectacular, however their deep fried calamari and shrimp with their tartar sauce is pretty delicious. i think the main issue there is the service. apparently all the staff quit one week after the opening (about a month ago), so they've been struggling to compensate. our poor waiter seemed to be taking care of 100 tables. not to be an asshole, but we had the private room and spent a lot of dough, so you'd think the service would be impeccable or above par at least. but, non. we didn't even get out DRINKS on BOTH occassions until 45 mins into our service. they took our food orders about an hour into sitting there.

however, the seating area is gorge, and the little room has a huge glass table with red roses underneath it giving that 'wow' factor.

hahahhaaaa, ohya, and the menus have an extreme creepy factor with this crazy person's face on the front. i forgot to take a pic, but if you go there, you'll know exactly what i'm talking about.

i recommend the calamari and shrimp, spring rolls, and dynamite rolls.
