When my girlfriend and I arrived at Neecha Thai, I made it very clear to our server that I have a severe allergy to onions . For every item we inquired about, the first question I asked was, “Does this contain onions, or can it be made without them?” I was thorough and direct about my dietary restriction. We ordered spring rolls and two other dishes. I ate the first two bites of the spring rolls with the sauce. On the third bite—without sauce—I immediately noticed a strong onion taste. My mouth and throat began to itch and tighten, and I realized something was very wrong. I immediately spit the food out. The servers quickly came over after noticing I was in distress. I informed them that I tasted onion, and that I needed to leave immediately to take allergy medication. The staff apologized and admitted they had “pulled out” the onions from the spring rolls but didn’t realize the onion oil could still cause a reaction. They removed the spring rolls from our bill, but we were forced to leave and could not finish our meal. Frankly, the entire bill should have been comped. I had a severe allergic reaction because the staff did not take my allergy seriously, despite my clear and repeated warnings. It’s incredibly frustrating that onion allergies are often dismissed or not treated with the same seriousness as other food allergies like peanuts. Food allergies are a medical condition , and restaurants need to acknowledge that. If your kitchen cannot safely accommodate a guest’s allergy— be honest and upfront. Train your staff properly, know your ingredients, and if needed, let the customer know you can’t guarantee a safe meal. My experience could have been much worse, and that’s unacceptable.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the vegan options and service at Neecha Thai. Food was ready FAST. The pumpkin curry was soamazingly flavorful and the portions were massive. Even the portion of rice was big, they gave two containers for the singleorder. My one meal alone was definitely enough to feed two people. The veggie skewers with peanut sauce were a solidlysatisfying appetizer. There were a variety of tofu and wheat-gluten (seitan) protein options. I'm definitely going to be cravingtheir food now whenever I want Thai!
