Nash Café — Restaurant in Berkeley

I’ve come to Nash Cafe three times and received good service and my request for non spiciness always fulfilled.

But my most recent visit, a day ago, was the most awful restaurant experience I’ve had. I continuously asked for the skewers and dishes to be non-spicy, and the spicy powder was dusted so heavily that I choked. I ordered a pork tenderloin rice dish, and even my friends who enjoy spice started TEARING UP from how dangerously spicy it was. When I gave the waitress my concerns, she told me that there were “no excuses” and that there was spice in every dish, while she had not given ANY warning that it was going to contain spice when I ordered nor when I had repeatedly conveyed that the dishes were not to be spicy. Point is, the spice was not even MILD, it was horrendously spicy to the point that I could hardly eat anything.

Most importantly, my table did not receive food until an HOUR had passed, and still, there was an order that was lost. Two waitresses had confirmed our order. After the whole ordeal, the employee courteously BLAMED us for not clearly articulating what we wanted.

I saw the hands of the owner’s as she brought food to my table, and those are the hands of hardworking people’s. I really appreciate their delicious food, and friendly service, and the value that they hold in the family and their business. Probably this is also the only restaurant that opens until midnight in the area. It was almost midnight after I finished my meal, and I saw the owner still working hard to prepare fresh ingredients for...
