| - Thanks to the other Yelpers who typed first about this place, I went there this past week. John F, you sold it to me by first mentioning that it was 25% cheaper than most Thai restaurants. Then I think I read Craaackle S's review, the words "spring roll" popped out... and lo, that's what I ended up getting -- PAD THAI (I requested "vegetarian", with no eggs), SPRING ROLL, DESSERT lunch special for $6.99. I didn't ask until the food was ready, if it was the (westerner's) version of Pad Thai (the one w/ ketchup), or an authentic version. Luckily, she told me that they had only one version at this place... the authentic version.
I used to live around the corner of this place, back when it was the same restaurant - but had a different name and owner. Food choices seem to be exactly the same. Food quality seems to still be there, and it's hard to beat their $4.99 lunch food combos... I took pics, so you can see if any of the items will appeal to you. Call ahead for pick up.
Just like with the last owners, the people working there this time were Thai speaking.
I'm happy this place is still around and offering Thai food at good prices.
The quality and taste of the food was good, but it was never like "oh my god". The spring rolls are good, do try them.
The pad Thai was good, if you need your fix, this place will do what it can to satisfy.
In the past, I've had their eggplant dish (with basil leaves), and mixed veg dish. Both good.
I've also had their tofu lunch specials before. At $4.99, it's still competitively priced for a hot meal to eat in or for take out.
I'll be back. Just b/c Thai restaurants in Kensington are few, the prices here are right, and the overall taste is good. Service, btw, was always with a smile and kind tone.
