I had never been to the old Thai Passion (?) at that location, but I've eaten at Thai Spice a few times now, twice at lunch and once at dinner. I'd recommend the lunch buffet over the dinner menu, as the lunch buffet is very complete, varies from day to day (the first time I was there they had vietnamese spring rolls out, the second time they did not), and is very delicious at a reasonable price. They do the buffet seven days a week from 11-2pm, so it's a nice place to try on the weekends if you don't get a chance during the week. The dinner menu is somewhat pricey and rather limited, I thought.. I have only been there for dinner one time. I had the Pad Basil, which was quite good, but not as interesting as some of the things they typically have on the buffet. The Tom Yum soup is very, very good. Recommended. | Regards, Barry
