Customers who cannot handle spicy foods are generally encouraged to order something else. The supervisor, Luck Pryer, added that although the Dragon Balls appetizer is spicy, they do not use excessive chili spice, and it's not possible to make a "mild" version of the dish as the chili is inside the balls. In response to the situation, a supervisor at Coup de Thai explained that the restaurant had never previously encountered a patron claiming they had been burned by a dish and needed medical attention. Walia was later diagnosed with internal "chemical burns" from the chilis in the Dragon Balls, as claimed in the lawsuit.
However, Walia alleges that upon eating the Dragon Balls, she immediately felt an intense burning sensation in her mouth, throat, and nose, which led to her eyes and nose watering, as well as coughing fits. The server agreed to have the chef make the dish less spicy, according to Delicious Food. The dish was advertised as spicy, so Walia requested less spice as she doesn't tolerate spicy foods well. On the menu, the "Dragon Balls" appetizer is described as "spicy chicken" balls with mint, shallot, green onion, cilantro, kaffir lime leaf, and chili, priced at $11. It all started when Walia and a friend visited the Thai restaurant in July 2021.
Walia is suing the restaurant and its owner, the chef who cooked the dish, the waitress who took her order, and anyone who "in any way influenced, designed, prepared, or participated in creating the Dragon Ball dish," as cited in the lawsuit. In her lawsuit, Walia states that she experienced permanent injuries and will be "forever damaged." A spicy appetizer called "Dragon Balls" at Coup de Thai, a Thai restaurant in Los Gatos, is currently at the center of a lawsuit filed by a woman named Harjasleen Walia, who claims that the dish caused severe chemical burns to her vocal cords, esophagus, and right nostril, according to the Mercury News.
