It's so simple, how do you make mediocre Pad Thai as a Thai place? No cheap Chinese takeout place survives without bomb Orange Chicken.

    The opposite but equal force of bad is when the pad thai tastes amazing, but you realize too soon that extra spicy was not extra spicy on a white people scale and suddenly you have to take teeny tiny sips of your iced tea to tame your taste buds into riding the heatwave to flavortown

      I'm always cautious around spice from Asian places. No need to ruin a good dish. That being said, this last place didn't even give me the option to change the heat.
