  Another day in the food court.  I briefly considered Burger King for some reason, but I settled next door at Thai Accent.  Will the Accent chain be opening restaurants across the board with these names?  English Accent?  South Shore Accent?  Vaguely Great Lakes-ish Midwestern Accent?
  
  I went for this place because of the veg options and wasn't really disappointed at all.  Other factors could have been:  no one out front trying to get me to taste chicken products, it's not a superhuge chain, it's signage is cheery, there was no line, it's not expensive like the Shrimp place (which is aesthetically superior to all other places at the food court, but I can't bring myself to drop $8 on a food court lunch), and I didn't want to hit Sakio or Master Wok, neither of which are all that great.  
  
  At first I was reeled in by the Hot Basil Noodles, which were like $4.95 for a regular (as opposed to "small") order.  Then the girl about to ring me up caught me eying the tofu meals (curry and spicy--not on the menu, maybe these are a day-to-day thing) and said I could add some of those to my pile of noodles for an extra 75 cents.  
  
  Hey, thoughtful human interaction and bartering at the food court.  I'll take it.  So it was a bit of a lie -- she took back my styrofoam thing and scooped noodles from it back into the noodle vat and replaced them with the spicy tofu, which I'm not sure about in terms of food service protocol, but oh well.
  
  The food was pretty delish.  Kind of heavy for what you'd normally have in mind when hitting a Thai place, but it was a-okay to me.  The spicy tofu was quite spicy, glazingly sweet and ushering in that ghostly trace of ketchup taste that sneaks into things like this and tom yum soup now and then to suprisingly satisfying effect.  The noodles were even spicier, maybe a bit too sticky and unfresh seeming, and too heavy on the cabbage, I'd say.  As usual, brocolli was tasty on top but my plastic fork had trouble piercing its stems.
  
  I'd give another star if these bozos would figure something, anything, out besides styrofoam containers.

  For lack of better words this place really blows.  I met the GF for lunch int he mall and she wanted Burger King.  However, I am very resistant to the major fast food chains so I wanted to try something else.  I have had sarku japan many times and was looking for something else.  Being in the mood for Thai I decided to check out this place. I asked for samples of the spicy basil chicken, the regular basil chicken, and the cashew chicken.  The lady seemed to get agitated by me asking for samples, but I was really just trying to find something tolerable.  
  
  After not having the balls to walk away and try another place I went with the basil chicken over noodles which cost about $7 with a bottle of water.  I ate less than 1/2 of this because all the grease and fat was just gross.  
  
  Sure enough I had a stomach ache 20 minutes later.  Next time I will listen to the GF and just get burger king.

  Absolutely disgusting. I had their chicken dish there and I almost threw up. I never even dare walk in front of it anymore.. My friend had a bite too and he got sick as hell. Hit up Sakio Japan or Master Wok instead... or don't eat.
  
  I almost wish I could give it a negative star but that feature not being available on this site, I'll have to settle with a one star. I guess the only positive I could ever find for all of the negative is their portion size. But then again, would you really want to eat a lot of crappy food? HELL NO.

  I do not understand the low stars on this place!   It is a food court not Ruth Chris!!    First off it is in a great location, very handy when you are in the 4 story mall. It is very inexpensive.  Many Thai food court places are well over $9.00 for a dish. This was only $6.99. It was fantastic!                 They allowed me to substitute vegetables instead of rice or noodles without an up charge. I thought that was great!  The food was great , the curry as good as any Thai sit down restaurant.   I took mine to go to take back to my hotel, rather than eat it in the mall. You always have options.     I will defiantly go here again.  It was good and a great price.
