i've been told that baby photos of me look, well, like i'm a fat chinese baby. i would not be surprised since there have historically been alot of chinese in cuba, where my family lived. perhaps that is also why i have such a penchant for far eastern cuisine in all its forms. regardless of the reason, it is rare, if not completely unknown, that i don't like an asian restaurant so this one stands out for having the distinct (dis)honor of holding that title. more's the pity since it is close to home and within delivery range; but Osha Thai Kitchen was a big disappointment from beginning to end. because the food was culprit there's absolutely no other reason to go since, as i always say when someone counters "but the place was beautiful"...you can't eat the decor. the long and the short of it, and there really is no reason to be elaborate in my gastronomic displeasure (why bother? there's little pleasure in bile). the j-dumplings were stale and tasteless, the spring rolls were dense and disgustingly peppery, and the calamari was tough (what else can you say once the calamari is tough?); but because i was still hungry, disdain of appetizers will do that, i had the chicken with pineapple and ginger. ...the chicken was tough, the ginger lacking and the pineapple bland (like eating water chestnuts type of bland). i'm sure that pineapple would have preferred to have wound up in the bin than suffer the dis-honor of that dish. it was the sort of gustatory disgust that makes you want to take the cook outside and kick him 'til he bleeds. life is too short to have bad food. go somewhere else...go on, git!
