Pacific Spice — Restaurant in Holly Springs

This is a review of 2 order outs and a recount of most of the dishes during that time.

I've had a lot of chicken pad Thai in my day and this is arguably one of the most MEH versions of this I've ever had. Mine is very sweet with absolutely no spice or redeeming characteristics. It didn't come with any accoutrements outside of some chopped peanuts and the most useless wedge of lime. The color is so similar between the noodles and the chicken that it's actually off-putting. I would 100% not recommend this dish to anyone.

The crispy honey chicken was Crispy and honey and chicken. Honestly it took me back to when I was a kid ordering chicken mcnuggets and dunking them in the little to go canisters of honey. It's very tasty and 1 order is perfect for  2 or even 3 kids to split; again very generous w their portions.

The sesame chicken was very sweet but provided a nice flavor profile and the way they fry these result in a much better chew to them than the Crispy honey chicken; if you're going back forth between the two go with the Sesame chicken. It's a no fuss, sweet, chicken dish that any person would enjoy.

The green curry with chicken was very good and very generous with their sizing. The curry wasn't super spicy but in general provided a nice flavor. The chicken and veggies were good and the white rice was cooked well.  Overall this was the best dish I've had from here and I'd absolutely recommend getting this dish.

Egg rolls were very good. These were delivered to us and still had a decent crunch(though couldn't hold a candle to the spring rolls). The flavor was wonderful and layered and I thoroughly enjoyed them.

Spring rolls, even when delivered, provided an excellent crisp. The flavors were wonderful and I was incredibly and pleasantly surprised with how great these were.

The summer rolls are refreshing, large and in general a win by most standards. They don't come w the typical peanut sauce but whatever they came with was delicious (just use sparingly or you'll only taste it)

Lastly, the fried rice is very plain-Jane. No fills and frills here, no peas, carrots, etc. Just rice and maybe some egg. Overall it's okay with some decent umami but nothing great.

I probably would NOT order...

I'm an Uber Eats driver and just left there. Waited a few mins before being acknowledged, which is fine. A gentleman came out, said "10 more minutes, have a seat right there", so sat on the padded bench style seating. Another guy had come in, waiting on food and sat @ the bar/area by front register. Same worker then came and sat down 2 bags, of which only 1 was labeled w/my customer. Grabbed it, went to leave, worker comes back asking me & the other guy, if we've seen a cell phone, as he sat it "right there", alleging at the bar. We both said no, then the other guy asked the worker, "What's your #, and I'll call you", so I then left. As I am going to the passenger side of my car, to place the bag (Which was bulging @ the seams as they way overstuffed it!), the worker comes out, asking me about the cell phone. I said I wasn't paying attention, as I was on my phone as I waited. He then proceeds to TOUCH MY RIGHT FRONT POCKET, apparently thinking I stole his phone. Immediately he was told "Don't you dare ever touch me ever again!!!". As I am getting ready to back out, he comes back out w/the unlabeled bag of food, which was apparently for the same customer. COMPLETELY DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR. I would AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. This is the type of behavior which gets the police called, which I had every right to do, if not...

Overall the food was pretty good, but not nearly the best around. Crispy Honey chicken was definitely the highlight. The sesame chicken, also good. Mongolian beef, maybe 4 stars - good but I’ve had better. It was a bit more liquidy than I’d like. Tangerine chicken is definitely tangerine. If you like the strong citrus flavor, you’ll probably like it.

From there, it was really subpar. Egg rolls were decent, but small and slightly overcooked. Fried rice was weak. Basically steamed rice thrown in a wok for a few seconds. Not an ounce of veggie or egg, yet costs more. The Crab Rangoon, do NOT get. Didn’t seem fresh or maybe not cooked well, but the worst part is it was mostly just fried batter. See the picture. There was almost nothing inside, and they were all like that. Never had crab Rangoon this bad. It’s an app I tend to like quite a bit no matter where I go, so was pretty disappointed.

Looked like one person cooking and servicing customers at the time we went. She seemed nice, but overworked. The other kid upfront wasn’t doing his job, just talking to his...
