Thyphoon: proof that everything is good if deep fried

3 out of 5 boners

I'm not going to lie to you, we came for the bugs. The food was eh... ok. The bugs are pricey considering the portions are small but I'm not going to complain because it was worth it for the experience. We came in a large group and made reservations a week prior and they told us that we needed to finish in an hour because they needed the table?!?! I'm sorry but,

1) the place was empty and
2) if a large party comes in and plans on spending a grip of money why would you rush them out? We were all ordering drinks and multiple plates but whatever, service sucked.

All in all you don't pay for the taste you pay for the kitsch factor. I would come back but only to bring someone who hasn't been. Oh also I forgot the name of it but they have a martini that is called the diablo or something along those lines... insanely hot, Should be served with Tums.
