I had frequented Thai Taste since 2002 when I first heard about it and always enjoyed my food - the decor is a little cheezy, but the service and food was always good. Not the best thai I've had in my life, but good for Charlotte. \n\nI stopped going there in the fall of 2008 for some MAJOR reasons\n1. The health code rating was a B at the time.\n2. I was walking past the back door of the restaurant to my car and the door swung open and I got a glimpse into the kitchen - it was disgusting! Slimy floors, food all over the place and sweating cooks hovered over the stoves. \n3. My friend found a maggot in his food. Yes that's right a MAGGOT. \n\nNeed I say more? \n\nWhile Thai Taste's biggest competitor (Monsoon) is less tasty than them, I would rather eat their food because their health ratings have always been a consistent A+.
