Bland and completely forgettable
The name of the restaurant should be changed from Spice Market to Bland Market. We had the tasting menu; and while none of the food was unappetizing, none of it was remarkable. With the exception of the chicken, what little flavors were present were very americanized.

Great food, great service
Just got back from trying this place for the first time. The food was excellent: great avocado roll, chicken samosas, and beef skewers. Staff were friendly and extremely professional. We tried the tasting menu and were able to alter it to fit our dietary restrictions (no shellfish please). Will be going back.

Trndy. Nice Atmosphere. Tasteless food
I went on a first date with my BF last night. Service: The maƮtre d' and servers were incredibly polished; the only exception were the bus boys, who were a bit rough around the edges. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was inviting, and not as pretentious as I normally like :) Food: Presentation was great, but the food left a lot to be desired.

Bland-Market!
If you're idea of creative Asian food is something bland, dumbed down and devoid of spice, complexity or surpirse - you will love this place. The best part of the menu is the dessert section - with the rest a steady and sadly predictable decline. The Laksa - usually an amazing and complex dish - was anemic and confusingly foamy; the star anise, shrimp noodles lacked life, verve and yes "star anise; while the salt and pepper fluke was simply an upscale fish and chips minus the tangy, peppery notes that are classic to this dish, garnished with a non-sequitor of what looked like McDonald's ice-berg lettuce (what are theythinking?). For people watching and perhaps something sweet its ok, but the rest is an insult to the palate.

Eh food
Beautiful atmosphere, appetizers were good but the entrees are so bland and lack flavor. The fusion thing is really confusing in the flavoring of the food. It's a great place to go on a date though, for drinks and appetizers maybe and enjoy the ambience...stay away from the actual food!

Great Food
WOW! this was my second time at spice market. Had a better chance to try the different offering since we were a party of 4. We started off with a few appt. The thai wings, samosas and the beef skewers. They were GREAT!!. Especially the wings, oh so spicy. If you can't take the heat do not try these wings. Samosas were good and the skweres were perfectly cooked and seasoned. That being said the sauce that came with the skewers had a weird taste. Moving on to the main course we had the ginger rice, which could of been better. Short rib beef which was moist and flavorfull as well as the char grilled chickhen which was pretty dry. Overall this was another great experience at Spice Market. BTW I'd like to add we did not have reservations but the staff was nice in enough to seat us within 15 minutes of getting in. Till the next time!!
