Because of that, I thought you'd like to know about our lunch experience at Bancok 9. The food was horrific, the stains on the tablecloth and the overall lack of service will prevent me from ever going back. I'm really not a picky eater and my dish--Siam Beef was inedible.

I need to add Johnny's to my list, and I need to write about Tandoori Grill, which I agree is really good.<br /><br />@Anon -- We probably eat out 3-4 times a month.
