Love at first Bite Lexington

Love at first Bite Lexington opened earlier this year in Lexington Center. They already have a location in North Andover, Lots of Eats.

There is only metered parking, except where I park.

The inside is modern and bright with nice furniture.

I tried their Spicy Basil Fried Rice🌶️($11.00). "Stir-fried jasmine berry rice with ground chicken, onion, bell pepper, and fresh hot chili". Despite the menu stating chicken, the waitress asked if I wanted chicken or beef (+2). Of the promised "fresh hot chili" there was no trace. There was some dried chili and the dish was just mildly spicy. It was tasty with plenty of basil, some were still in clusters. You really want me to eat four leaves and the steam at once? The peppers and the onions were cooked nicely, but the chunks were too big to eat with the rice. The dish was also greasy. Their lunch prices are just slightly lower than their dinner prices. The service was pleasant, and they were really busy at lunch.
