Spices Asian Restaurant — Restaurant in North Kansas City

First off: don’t believe the hundreds of fake 5 star reviews. The owners of bad restaurants do this a lot. They make fake accounts and try to bury the bad reviews with 10-20 fake 5 star reviews. Always read the worst reviews first.

If you have had good Thai food then you will know that this is not good food here.

We went for the most basic things on the menu that we thought would be safe options at a place we had never been too. We ordered the crab rangoon and lettuce wraps as appetizers. They were actually good. The lettuce wrap filler tasted like it was made in a large batch in a crockpot or something and the crab rangoons were small and probably the frozen kind and not fresh. They both tasted good to be honest though. For our main courses that we wanted to share we ordered Pad Thai and General Tso’s with fried rice. The waitress asked how spicy we wanted it and my date said “Spicy” and I said “Yeah. Pretty spicy” but they both came out very sweet with no flavor. The General’s chicken consisted of bok choy, broccoli, carrots, and 6-8 unfried chunks of chicken breast and a very watery sweet sauce. That’s it! The Pad Thai tasted very sweet too. The beef didn’t taste right. It had “turned”. Maybe not all the way spoiled but way past being fresh. It wasn’t even good cuts of beef to start with either. The noodles did not have a good flavor at all and the beef didn’t taste right so we couldn’t even eat it. I was afraid we would get food poisoning to be honest. We were both mad at how much time and money and calories we had wasted there. They offered us boxes for our leftovers which we flatly turned down. I didn’t like it fresh so why would I want leftovers?? I would’ve rather had the “Chinese” food from HyVee and it’s not all that good. So imagine how bad this place is.

We just asked for the bill and the receipt said MILD instead of SPICY but I’m telling you there was ZERO spice or even any general flavor!! Bland and sweet. It had no flavor! Waitresses/cooks/owners (you’re probably all the same family anyway) listen up; don’t think that white people cant handle the spice or that we’ll eat whatever you make. If we say “Spicy yeah pretty spicy” then we want it to be spicy. It probably would’ve been just spicy with no flavor though. If you’re a Thai restaurant that can’t even make good Pad Thai you should just pack it in. Close up shop. Sell the restaurant equipment. Start a janitorial business or something. Just quit cooking bland food and expecting people to pay you for it. The cooking is very lazy. Lazy, lazy, lazy!!

It was a Saturday night at 7:00 and there was only one couple there when we got there. When we left around 7:45 there was a group of four and another couple. Now I know why the place was empty on a Saturday night at a time when everyone in the city is out to dinner. It’s because you don’t have repeat customers. I bet every customer in there was there for the first time. I know for a fact the couple behind me were first timers as well because they asked a lot of questions. I hate that some places are so lazy with their cooking because they think whatever lazy dish they serve up people will eat it. If you want to be a real success story you would try to actually make really good food so a lot of people will come back and be willing to wait an hour for a table at 7:00-8:00pm on a Saturday night, because you’re so busy, because the food is that good. Imagine that! That is a reality for some restaurants. Not yours though. Quit being lazy with your cooking!!! I’m so disgusted by...

We work up north & were excited to try this place. Went for lunch today. We were immediately seated & brought water. They have no lunch menu. It took awhile for someone to come by to take our order (7 minutes?). I asked if the crab dip that was on the menu had real crab meat. He said it was a combination. I ordered that & the lettuce wraps. My co-worker ordered the phad thai chicken. As the waiter was leaving I asked if we could have the crab dip served first before our entrees. He said "well we don't have the crab dip any more, we have crab rangoon." He was going to serve us crab rangoon & not crab dip? I said no thanks. Our orders were delivered one meal 3 minutes before the other. My co-worker said the chicken had no flavor. My lettuce wraps came out in a huge pile of very wet "leafy" lettuce, not crisp iceburg lettuce. It was very hard to wrap the chicken in without it falling out all over the plate. I had about 3 bites of it & realized the chicken was sitting in a bowl of grease. I didn't touch it again. Nobody asked how our meal was; nobody asked if we wanted to-go boxes; we had to ask for the check. After paying, I flagged down the nice lady who sat us & told her I didn't like my meal & why. You could obviously tell because my plate was still full. She said "ok I'll give you springrolls or crab rangoon to go." I said o.k. $10 lesson learned. They've only been open 12 weeks and I predict they...
